Victoria Cross $10 Ballot

[trout]

One of the better Subscription coins

Why is that ?
Is it because it a far better produced offering than anything before . Or is it simply because it is commanding an outrageous value on eBay?
with a mintage of 5000 it isn't a rare item as far as NCLT coins go at all.
Compared to our first cu/nickel dollar coin this pales in comparison as far as a numismatic event in Australia as far as I am concerned.

I got the same email saying I missed out now I don't feel too bad because yesterday I got an email saying there is 13 million USD in a deceased account that some bank manager wants my help in getting out of the country, then I got an email saying I won 4 million in an online lottery that I don't remember entering.

As they say what you lose on the swings you pick up on the roundabout.

CfV:   I get those emails all the time.   If I continued with them, I would be a multi millionaire by now but then the costs involved woulf have sent me bankrupt.

I am not that stupid.   (But that is my opinion.   Others may think differently).

The Theme,nothing to do with your assesment

[interest]

Of course it's the Theme.
Apart from the 2000 one Dollar mule, or any unstamped coins show dollars or 2005 proof dollar.
What is the highest priced one dollar coin?
2000 VC ?
Why?
The Theme.

Exactly Interest and that's why I wanted on for my collection :yahoo:

This IS a nicely designed "Grannybait" coin, But In all honesty I think the main interest with this coin issue is the resale value on eBay.
As a ballot coin I find it strange that the same seller has sold 4 of these so far when they were supposed to be 1 per person:dodgy:

As a theme goes the Anzac ,Victoria Cross and other War related coin issues are getting pretty much flogged to death over the last few years.
It is getting to the stage where I see a new issue coin that is yet again  war related and it becomes a "Ho Hum" event for me.

Coin arrived this morning. Shocking packaging, the 'coin' is loose in the box, not restrained in any way. :ireful:

[purplepennyhunter]

I got mine today. Plenty of tissue paper holding mine in there. I haven't actually opened the coin box yet.

Tissue Paper :dodgy:
What did they have to raid the dunny paper   from the Mint loo's to pack these?
No wonder we have ongoing  "Concerns" regarding the Q&A at the mint these days  :dodgy:

[robbiegal]

they have always sent boxed items in a box with scrunched tissue paper
yep - got mine - the large beautiful coin was banging around when I picked up the box ... sad face ... dum dum mint packers
but the coin appears to be able to be pushed in quite firmly, so I suppose that they thought it's stay put
so much for testing hypothesis

[purplepennyhunter]

I'd be still cranky you had to pay $12 post Robbie when you could easily have picked it up.

disclaimer: I am having a Kath-is-cranky day anyway

[robbiegal]

actually I never asked
but in previous 'ballots' have had to have the item posted (I think)

[interest]

They are going for $650 WOW

[purplepennyhunter]

It did say no pickup I think.
