Quote from: 'Cougar' pid='53433' dateline='1403772311'I tore a small peice of my folder inserting one of the cards!!! Major bummer............. I got onto the mint today and they are looking inot making extras for people like me but they have no details on this or prices and are getting back to me soon.

Understand how easy it would be. Bloody stupid way of inserting cards I think.
I was showing a lady friend ,& you know how people gotta touch, gotta feel. I thought she was going to tear it so I took it off her.
Didn't want her tearing it.

Folder is way to go

Bit late to the thread.

After seeing the second release and the Boer War one. I think I am going to get this. Question though... Is the Folder really worth it? I can get all 18 coins for $180. $20 for the packaging seems well a bit much.

A more general question - does having a complete packaging for sets important in the value of the set over time?

I still have not heard back about a replacement folder for the one I tore. I am going to have to call again and investigate I think.

I take it that the answer is yes - packaging worth a lot.

RAM website fail....

If you go order it online, at the checkout it forces you to select either receipt delivery for $8 or registered delivery for $12. So if you do this online you are being overcharged $8. I called RAM and was told this is not supposed to happen.

I am just getting the coins as they are released through Downies. No postage there.

Yeah I am tossing up whether or not to get the coins individually as they come out from shops. Or subscribe to get the folder. Wondering if having all the packaging would be important if I sell it in the future.

Not interested in the packaging as I don't have the space. Coins only for me.

I wish I have that problem.

Packaging only on this WAR issue.

My new Australians at War coins should arrive today.
I had a good look at the reverse image of the "Western Front" coin and it seems the designers have gotten a wee bit Lazy.
Notice the Australian and German soldiers are the same person replicated 3 times.
I'll take a pic of the coin when it arrives and zoom in on the faces of the soldiers and post the images.

Can't help but noticed that also when I first saw this...

And yet the details on the Australian Flying Corps coins are stunning :good:

Goldseeker · November 07, 2014, 01:06:45 PM

Does that really matter. it is the "meaning" that counts.

They are still stunning coins.
