Victoria Cross $10 Ballot

No matter what the mint does there will always be the sneaky buggers that will circumvent anything put in place to make sure that everyone gets a fair go.
NOT the mints fault at all, The greedy will always find a way to "Sneak under the Carpet" regardless :ok:

Obviously the extended family were in the ballot. :dodgy:

You think they could have bought them from someone else. And now they are trying to flip it again for a nice profit? If that's the case then nothing RAM can do.

Could he have found two other people with winning ballots, purchased their interests and sent them all in together to do that?

Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='56230' dateline='1407272676'BIN price has been jacked up to $25,000. Seller must think with 8 'watchers' he might as well go for broke.

Just noticed that the seller has relisted it.... for $29,000.

It's surely a gee up,not real

I contacted the RAM re this one and also spoke with the RAM Staff at the recent ANDA Show and they all said that it could have been a mix up in that a single entry was entered a second time.

All comes down to Human Errors.

Don't forget he had more sets than these listed on greedBay at the time

Now here's a rumour that I have just had confirmed by the Australian War memorial Shop a few minutes ago.

The AWM Shop received a quantity of these coins, (estimated/believed to be 100) from the RAM for sale at the AWM at $100.00 each.

Did anyone else know about this?

The AWM have since sold out of the this coin.

I personally shall be writing a letter to the CEO of the RAM asking questions re this issue.

The whole issue of this coin is surrounded in a bad smell IMHO.
In reality it is simply just another piece of "Grannybait" churned out by RAM to take advantage of collectors.
Far too many Sahanagins and dodgy dealings are associated with it :dodgy:
