$5 each is cheap for a modern day mobile press coin

WHY do RAM charge $10 for them at ANDA shows whilst they charge $5 for this show?
RES Sydney mobile press coin was 10 bucks from memory
Why the difference in prices?

Probably to entice the crowds who are less likely to be coin collectors than ANDA show customers.

did they have the press there?
or were the coins pre-minted for the show?

I just remembered that I think there's been negative customer feedback about the prices along with the door charge at the shows

hummm

I think the coins been pre-minted and just counter-stamped with a letter since 2002 or thereabouts.

WOW indeed. They used to be free, then half price, and now two lousy bucks off? May they burn in hell, which will freeze over before I ever attend another event.

I didn't/haven't got one yet. If anyone gets one for the International Banknote and Coin Show inn Melbourne later on and will not be able to use it, I wouldn't say no. PM me please.
