So does that mean it doesn't matter if your uploads are black and white?

Tigergirl,

I use my spreadsheet for notes and coins so have a few different columns:

*TYPE     (coin value, note value,  PNC,  collector set, lunar series, bullion value  etc.)
*YEAR    
*PREFIXES   (notes and collector items)
*RENNIKS CODE   (notes)
*DATE PURCHASED
*SUPPLIER
*COST
*POSTAGE
*GRADE      (Proof, Specimen, UNC,  VF, EF etc.)
*Current McDonald Valuation
*CASH VALUE
*REMARKS   (this column contains descriptions to identify variations in items etc.)
*LINKs to picture files

Obviously column widths vary as required.

Cheers

Thanks Peter for your info. I think mine will be a combination of both suggestions that have been put forward. Whilst I can't remember when I purchased them (mostly at coin shows for reasonable prices), I can still remember some acquisitions which have nearly double in value since I purchased them. One being the Victoria Cross $1 and all the MYO $1 I got from the Royal Melb Shows. Won't set the coin world on fire but it's a start.

And yes, it doesn't matter if it's black & white... lol

This year I have I have been slack keeping cattle dogs up to date, so I thought I should get them done before the year ends.

Hey look what I found forgot I had these.
Was there not some kind of issue regarding these when they came out.?? Not in Macca's maybe someone can remember.
 

[robbiegal]

do you mean that there was an issue about the coins?

[trout]

maybe its because this is the same design as the goose dollar and this coin IS legal tender.
Whereas the goose dollar isn't.
I picked one of these up at the anda show in Perth .

[Fulvio]

do you mean that there was an issue about the coins?

Looks like an upset to me. Question is, does that matter on a pattern like it does on a real coin?

[Unicorn]

Very upset by the looks Fulvio, well spotted!

Interest,

The only mention in Mackas is on p361 as the full set of rejected designs  (7500/3344 mintage).

In the latest Renniks (p 120) both the set and the ANDA release of the 20cents are mentioned - however, Renniks implies that 7500 sets were minted and 2500 20cents minted.

So both books each have slightly different omissions!

Cheers

Interest,

Just checked the Perth Mint mintages  

http://www.perthmint.com.au//documents/2009_Perth_Mint_Numismatic_Coins120813V3.pdf

and the declared mintage on the ANDA release was 2115 out of 2500.

That is probably what the issue was that the Perth mint were advertising that only 2,500 of this 20cent were minted but in actual fact there were 10,000 minted.
But as they state on the back of this show item,
only 2,500 will be released individually by the Perth Mint.

I'm thinking there was an argument with PM, about what is the real mintage, because there were saying on their adds for the ANDA show that these coin had a mintage of only 2,500.
Forgetting about the other 7,500.

[Fulvio]

Forgetting about the other 7,500.

Conveniently ignoring, more likely.

[trout]

I am pretty sure that the rest of these were released in the pattern set :ok:

[notcb]

If you look at the Perth Mint official mintages:

http://www.perthmint.com.au//documents/2...0813V3.pdf

you will see there are two separate listings:

(1)  The set of coins   - mintage 7500 but actually declared mintage of 3344 only

and in a separate section,

(2)  The 20cent special ANDA release - mintage 2500 but actually declared mintage of 2115.

I can't see a PM worker opening up the 385 specially prepared cards and putting them into the remaining sets!!!!

*****

So on those published figures, there should exist 2115 plus 3344 =  5459 20 cent Swan coins.
