Five dollar coins

[Cougar]

I only have 10 of the 1988 coins myself as well as a set of the 2000 Olympic coins.

[Goldseeker]

I still have my two sets of the 2000 Olympic coins here and still in the origina, packaging all in  good, solid white packing box.

Not sure what I want to do with them.

[trout]

I will have a look and see what spares I have when I get home and see if I can shorten that list for you Mike :ok:

[brismike]

After doing a little more research I have found 2 more Aluminium Bronze 38.74mm $5 coins to add to the list I mentioned above ....

KM 386 - 1998 75 Years of Royal Flying Doctor Service
KM 517 - 2000 Sydney Paraylmpics

I think the Flying Doctor one was only issued as a proof coin in a case.
The Paraylmpics was in a card similar to the other Sydney Olympics $5 coins. I can only see one on Ebay and it is listed at $59.95!

Since I posted the above list I have managed to get hold of these ones

2002 RAM Manchester Commonwealth Games - 1
2002 RAM Manchester Commonwealth Games - 2
2002 RAM Manchester Commonwealth Games - 3
2004 RAM Bicentenary of Tasmania (H)
2006 RAM Queens Baton Relay
2016 RAM Long Tan

Did you get a chance to see what spare ones you had Trout?
I'm still in the Netherlands at the moment but will be back home in just over a week.

Cheers Mike

To tell you the truth I had forgotten all about these.
I will have a squiz tonight, I know that I have one of the remembrance coins with the giant printed Poppy on it :ok:

[Fulvio]

Just remember that the parliament house $5 came in two types of packaging. One of them being PVC. So check them, and separate the coins from the PVC if you have any.

[gnome]

I think I may have 3 different styles of packaging.

Yep .. I have done that ... my best one I have put in a coin flip ... But these $5 coins are huge and putting them in a flip is a mission lol.

I have used 2.5x2.5 holders and then cut them down in size to fit in the albums :ok:

I must do some experiments with welding PET. For a coin that heavy, I reckon we need something much more substantial than a standard mount.

Of course, finding some straight-sided bottles to provide the sheet stock is going to be a challenge...

OK .. After doing a lot of searching and looking around on fleabay etc, I have found another Alum-Bronze 38.74mm $5 Coin.

[Fulvio]

I just had to share that list on the MNS Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1430907327204766/

[Fulvio]

Got this reply:

Michael Bentley Thanks for posting it Fulvio ... it should be noted that it does not include the Bi-metalic $5 coins and some of the ones in the above list were only issued as proof coins. eg the 1994 Enfranchisement of Women coin was issued as a Bi-Metalic coin and as a proof Aluminium-Bronze 38.74mm coin.

[brismike]

Do any of you guys know what the "GZ" mintmark means on the 2006 $5 NCLT Duyfken Exploration of Australia coin is supposed to be about?

You can find a pic of it here
