Melbourne ANDA Show 2014

[Fulvio]

AC, the RAM told me 3,500 were struck, and said it in a way that suggested that was the total portable press mintage. When I pointed out there is no limit on what gets struck at the Royal Show, he grudgingly acknowledged that was correct and the real mintage could be anything.

Goldy, apologies for screwing up the value. Guess I was in too much shock for your words to properly sink in.

In other news, the highlight for me in the awards presentations was a young lady who was a first-time exhibitor taking out a second place with her Russian banknotes (the ones right down the end of the tables). She asked my opinion earlier in the day, and I told her my only criticism is she should have used a larger font for us blind old bastards. I've no doubt Splock will be posting a full list of the winners, so I won't steal his thunder.. but I have piccies.

The photos above are excellent once again and you get better as you go AC.

All I ask is that all persons that came into contact will me, just before the group photo was taken at the ANDA Show, please, please, please go through all your pockets, bags, purses etc to see if the my missing MULE has accidently been placed in one of those places.

I have turned my bag, bedroom and house upside down looking for it to no avail.

I am seriously thinking of trying to finds someone who can hypnotise me and walk me through that time to see if I can remember where/what I have done with the coin.

Anyone no a good hypnotist?   If so, please PM me.   Seriously.

Fingers crossed Goldy that your mule turns up again quickly.

Hi Goldie, I checked my bag / pockets but no go. I can't recall seeing the coin myself, I know I had a flick through your album. I thought I recalled seeing some coins in the blue PCGS box, but those were the coins in there before you got the box.

Awesome images AC! Thanks for sharing. It 's a shame about the business who bluntly refused you to take any photos.

Looking forward to some more pics! I couldn't make it

I did speak to the RAM about this and they said that they would be bringing the press to the Melbourne Show at the end of September. :-)

I bought some B counterstamp Voyage to Terra Australis coins at both the Brisbane ANDA show and the Exhibition.  Both are identical but $10 ea at the former and $5 ea at the latter.

At the exhibition, staff advised that there weren't limited to the advertised 7500 mintage.  They just keep stamping until the show finishes and that's when the mintage will end.

I was away during ANDA so had to con my son into going along and getting some for me.  His comment was "There are some really weird people at those shows".  Wifey dictated my course at the Ekka but I managed to get a few minutes at the RAM stand.

Spewin, hope to make it next year so hope you can too

[robbiegal]

yeah I agree with you Steve
the first time we went to a coin show we both commented on the various odd balls that were there as well!!
now we are the odd balls!! ha ha

[Fulvio]

Seems a lot of forum members were there independently, eh? Now you see why we need shirts, hats, badges or whatever?
