[kanjoe07]

I hope that you reward the kiddies for their efforts!!

say $3 for $2 something like that

or A's all round

haha! I've told them to keep the coins for the future because "they'll be worth a lot". I don't know if I can get sued for bad financial advice to Year 9s

Dear Numismaticians,

The reason I have "collected" this coin, is because this is the first time that I have had my finger on the pulse with a coin release.

I normally only collect $1 coins in rolls, but when I heard about the 2011 $2 (Aboriginal Elder) with a potential release of 1.8m and the 2012 $2 (AE) with a potential release of the same 1.8m, I developed an interest in these "potentially" rare coins. I worked very hard noodling for those two coins and ended up with about 153 X 2011's and around 300
2012's. I just missed out on the security bags for 2012, but managed to swap a couple.

So when I found out about the Coronation coin (quite by accident), I became somewhat obsessed with it.

The recent low release $2 coins are the first collectable coins I have chased with a passion. (I do believe that the 1.8m figure for each will be confirmed in the next RAM Annual Report!) Whereas most of my other coins have been obtained by paying a premium through eBay and dealers etc.

The 2013 Coronation $2 is a wonderful opportunity for collectors to get in on the ground floor, (as they say!) without paying the premiums normally asociated with rarish coins.

Seek and ye shall find!

And btw I do not have 3 and 1/2 thousand Coronation coins!

Sulla, you did post that you have 3214 of them, so I expect comments like 3 1/2 thousand are not too far off.

FINALLY! Just scored a sack of 2013's... now to see if the Coronation count is more or less than the expected 100.

Interestingly, I noticed the sack doesn't have an Armaguard label. The teller confirmed that they don't use Armaguard, but was cagey about who it is. She confirmed its not Brinks or Chubb though.

So... who ELSE delivers new coin? And how did they get their hands on UNC sacks, presumably from the same source (Armaguard, I assume)? If we can ID them, they just might be approachable, one would hope.

[Possie Ron]

Just a question ? I just acquired a 2013 Coronation piece and also a 2013 standard Aboriginal. Will the Aboriginal be a small issue with the coronation being the same year ??

HHHMMMMMM do I spend $50 and get 5 purple painted coins of Sulla or do I spend $50 and get these 3 coins.
NO contest :yahoo:

Mate, you want one at face value? Plus postage, naturally. :angel:

Coronations are still plentiful direct from banks, in my woods.
However once they hit the retail tills they disappear.

Spoke to a couple of local shopkeepers this morning.
One has collected 4!
The other has collected 5!
40 days since they were released!

I retrieved 103 out of 20 Aramaguard bags this morning.
Total is now 2310.

================================================
50/50 is mighty fine shooting Mr Unicorn, sir!

2310  x $2 coins - wow - over $4,000 in those coins!!
keen collector

sorry sulla
I found this post with the count at 2310 - I was sure there was another one with the count over 3,000 + more coming - my mistake

my apologies -
