Yes a supposed mintage of 2 mill (same as my Canberra florins), I honestly cannot see a correlation there :angel:

Finally scored a few bags today. Not a lot of coronation errors, apart from the
Uncommon Die Fills (tops of ELI ETH II AUS 3).

However the accompanying standard 2013's have the following:

Uncommon Die Fills (tops of II US)
Common Rim Spur (adjacent to flowers - 25-30%)
Rare Brow Cud (2 examples, plus one pre-cud subsidence)
Rare 2 Cud (1 example, 1mm+ vertical from base of 2, plus subsidences)

Plus a couple of strike-through flaws.

Not a bad haul, overall.

I am selling them for $10 a pop too on Ebay but only enough to recoup my initial outlay for all the $2 coins, the rest I'll hold as I too think that in 12 months or so these will be fetching $15+ easily.

I wonder how much the little 5 coin RAM baggies will fetch the scalpers :angel:

I've seen them sell on Ebay still in their mint bag for $45

John will be pleased then,when his coins finally get to him in the States :good:
