Eureka - no mintmark

Unicorn · June 24, 2013, 01:36:51 PM

After Nancy's post (new $2 coin thread) I had a squizz through some of that seller's items.

Has anyone got their head around this one?

Not that I'm in any position to buy it! :laugh2:

There are actually 3 known coins

Unicorn · June 24, 2013, 02:02:29 PM

Geez Trout, you'll be working without a break to get one of them at that price! (I'm assuming you don't already have one).

Thanks for the info. I noticed that there's nothing in my Renniks regarding it.

Are these ones that slipped past a mobile stamp your own press or something?

That one has been for sale for ages.

Unicorn · June 24, 2013, 02:14:09 PM

At that price PPH I am not at all surprised. Sounds like a job for Shane to me! :swoon:

With a price like that, you'd think the guy would have free shipping.....but nope, he wouldn't think of it.

I was in Ballarat when one of them slipped through. What with all the conversation going on, it got put into the folder without going through the press. And then the guy BROUGHT IT BACK and complained!! Needless to say, I cried.

I can tell the same story when the RAM was at the Tennis centre. A lady minted two coins and moved off. Just as I was to go to the Portable press the lady came back and informed G, the press operator in front of the CEO of the RAM that she only received one Counterstamp coin and the other was a blank. My ears pricked up and both G and I went for the coin that was in her hand but G was a fraction of a second faster/quicker than me. Sure enough, no Counterstamp. That was the year I got banned for life from any ANDA shows. Still have a very foul taste in my mouth as a result of what ANDA did to me.

Too rich for my blood and anyway there will only be 3 collections more complete than mine when I have finished anyway:angel:

They banned you??? Bastids! Now I feel better about boycotting them for the last few years.

Unicorn · June 24, 2013, 04:14:16 PM

Trout ..... too true ..... 3's a crowd anyway :mocking:

Goldseeker, that's a shocker story, sorry to raise a not so happy memory. :banned: :Gigakach_01:

robbiegal · June 24, 2013, 04:19:03 PM

did they ban you for that goldie?

bet 'G' put it in his vest pocket

Goldseeker · June 24, 2013, 08:34:03 PM

I could say more but I shall keep my mind to myself. I only wish that the RAM will not take the portable press to any more ANDA gigs. It is the only way ANDA gets the crowd in.

Both Mints will not be attending the ANDA Melbourne show in a couple of weeks, we'll see how busy it is then.

Nevol · June 25, 2013, 08:13:14 AM

I think I read somewhere that the RAM will be at the Ekka this year. But even if they are, I won't be going. I value my good health too much.
