Melbourne ANDA Show 2014

[nealeffendi]

OK, two responses two different answers.

I will send the RAM an Email and find out for sure.  

(Proof27:- I just have to make sure as I am taking orders for "M" Counterstamped coins (that I personally press myself) but if the press is NOT going to be there, I shall save my monies on the entry fee and I shall advise those that have placed orders to make there own way as they say).

They will already be "M" counterstamped, but no mobile press at show, according to email I received.

So has the press already been in Melbourne earlier this year and they have a stock of coins from then? Or does the mint strike the coins elsewhere :dodgy:

RAM is becoming a circus for replies these days

Below is the response I got from the RAM:

Good Afternoon Mr Mansfield,

Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Australian Mint.
The mobile coin press will not be taken to the Melbourne ANDA Show, however 2014 $1 'M' Counterstamp coins – A Voyage to Terra Australis will be available from the Mint stall. These coins have been prepared ahead of this event.

The Mobile coin press will be in Melbourne for the Royal Melbourne Show from 20 September until 1 October 2014. The same coins will be produced on this occasion.

Kind regards,

Customer Service Team
Royal Australian Mint

Now that sort of answers the question and as a result, I will NOT be attending the ANDA Show but will be attending the Melbourne Show and that is when I shall get the coins that have been ordered.

If those that have ordered coins from me that I was to get from ANDA and still want me to get them from the Melbourne Show, please send me a NEW PM requesting your requirements.

I agree.........!

[emu666]

We may as well wait and get them from the Royal Melbourne Show.

I get a real buzz from pressing the button! :yahoo: (Although that could be just bad electrics) :biggrin:

I don't think it'll stop too many people from turning up though, although the fact that the first day is a Friday and there's really not that much parking around might deter a few.

Some good dealers on that list Fulvio :good:
Why is it that ppl don't want to attend a coin show just because there isn't a portable press grannybait machine there ?
The ONLY coin show I have ever attended was in Perth a couple of years ago and I ended up getting the good people at Sterling Currency to get my stamped coins for me anyway.
I was on Night shift doing a Mill reline at a cement mill south of Perth at the time and I was pretty Knackered but I had a fantastic time just looking at various coins that the dealers had on display and quite frankly couldn't be bothered queuing up with the other "Lemmings" for the press stuff.
I only took $600 in cash with me and came out broke (I wish I took more) but I did pick up some nice coins and had a most enjoyable day
I Do envy you Mob that can attend  heaps of shows and auctions But I also enjoy living way out of town with peace and privacy as a given.

Another venue change! Sigh!
I'll see closer to the date if I can make to ANDA otherwise I'll hopefully catch up with everyone at the RMS.

[Australian coin]

I will be going, so if people want to arrange a meet and greet PM

so now the cupro nickels/portable press coins are granny bait as well?
I  thought that was just your term of endearment for the silvers?
