I don't get that one PP
it's not a coin error - it seems to have been a sending error - i.e. the mint sent two not one, but with 2 different certificates & not even posted in the same parcel by the look of it?

so the error is his dishonestly in not returning the second one that wasn't paid for?

or his BS in ordering two and making out that an extra one was sent in error
goodness knows

too early in the day - it's doing my head in!! ha ha

Perhaps they could have used the picture of the Budgie again? (Or maybe updated it to a Galah).

$10,000 for sending 2 to same address, what a #$%^&*()

I would think that RAM would be quite interested to find out that they double supplied a coin that would only have been paid for once.
I did notice however in the initial "Selling Frenzy" that some sellers DID have multiples of these coins that were only supposed to be one per person :dodgy:

[Goldseeker]

I agree with you there trout but the invoices would have been in different names (we hope).

I have just sent the RAM the very questions how and was the second paid for, further is it bullony of true.

I shall post any response I get.

I am very annoyed I did not get a coin and others got two... I was looking forward to getting one of these coins... I suppose I can get one at a very inflated price from eBay ....

yes I copied the info of the order, if I get time maybe just maybe I will contact the mint, tho they don't care from last time I called, so I told them I wont be doing advertising for them, sigh why should I do there job for them, I don't get anything out of it, you would think they would try and be nice to me
tho I do some info pages to keep people up to date and try to make sense out of stuff

I personally think the silver coin is nicer and didn't bother with this one.
What does annoy me is that the eBay Shysters always seem to get this type of issue (In numbers) and the true collectors Miss out.
I did a bit of research a few weeks ago and one seller sold at least 5 of these.
So much for the Ballot being fair and honest :dash1:

now if you put something online, I can copy it, so can everyone, beware I can show everyone! especially when you write mean and naughty things in your reply haha
someone else can show the Royal Australian Mint this page, I just don't have the time anymore, maybe they should give me free stuff or employ me HINT HINT :angel:

[serial]

look at the persons responses. the guys an idiot
"its a ram mint error regardless if its at an admin level"
does that mean that I can print off an email I received with a typo from RAM and claim that as a mint error?

[trout]

I am quite frankly amazed that anyone in their right mind would pay the issue price for this coin , let alone the ridicules prices on eBay.
Time will tell But I doubt that these will become one of the "Must have" coins in the future and these will fade away into the background like many other "Grannybait" offerings from RAM :angel:

I am disgusted with the "profiteering" associated with this "Coin" and find it very Un-Australian and distasteful:dodgy:

Question & Answer Answered On ....

 Q:  Hi, That isn't a coin error. It's a lucky RAM error on your part, that you were sent . Two VC Coins instead of one. Obviously a glich in their Computer system .That instead of not one lucky Ballot Winner you got two. Have you thought of returning it. So one of us that entered could get a chance . The only glaring error is , You won two instead of one. Isn't it a bit rich. $10,000 for two coins? Regards Cherie  04-Aug-14
A:   Sorry but when some one like you ask 5k for a $1 "mule" is justified only because you own it, AND HAVE IT READY TO SELL, (have you ever thought of returning such coins) With all respect please spare me and fly'off, if you can't afford it bad luck guess what "BAD LUCK"... It's an ram mint error regardless if it's at an admin level. Please Don't see my listings, if you find my listings offensive in any way Sincere regards

Q:  Hi just wondering what the error is and why the price is so high thanks 03-Aug-14

A:   Apparently Royal mint or it's officials has commit a Booboo, via issuing this VC 2014 $10 coin twice to me, it was only supposed to be issued one for one individual only and via some random ram ballet system, as you may find the customer number is same on both the invoices, which confirms, Ram ballet system/officials failed to upkeep with the statement, made by RAM. I am firm you will not find any examples of such kind... Hoping I have explained thoroughly but please don't hesitate to contact me in future regards Ash.
