PNC or Not to PNC?

[purplepennyhunter]

I was updating the PNC list on the Australian Coin Collecting Blog today and I've come up with a dilemma of two kinds.
1. Are these PNC's?
2. Dammit do I have to buy them to keep my unc dollar collection complete (the rules of my collection are unc, 25mm, al br and all official packaging).

Kookaburra $1
Cockatoo
Flying Fox
Rosella

Is this the year when I truly say enough is enough?

didnt look but my understanding is that a pnc is both a coin and stamp release together on one package

Going by your own rules, I'd say you're about to spend some more money. :yahoo:

the rosella is very tempting

PNC....philatelic and numismatic cover....ie first day cover with a coin. These are therefore not PNC's but some other untermed phillatelic and numismatic issue.

As far as should they form part of your $1 coin collection....by your rules yes as you have nothing about colour in there. Are they in official packaging......what is the defination of "official". If it is RAM packaging then no as this is Aussie Post packaging.....in my book a post packaged product....just like all PNC's.

If you say Aussie post is official then you have to include every other third party packaging as well (eg downies) as after all Aussie post are not the mint, they are just another 3rd party organisation that repackages Aussie coins.

My rules....if the mint does it it is official....if any other organisation does it it is post packaged and unofficial

[purplepennyhunter]

So it's a PNI not a PNC. :dodgy:

It does fall into the yes category. I have expanded it (my collecting rules) to include Australia Post but not Downies issues and I have ditched the overprint PNC's because the line got hazy.

[Goldseeker]

I have doubt if on ly Aust Post re packaged the coins without authority from the RAM.

If the packaging includes RAM/Aust post, then I just might have to include them in my PNC collection.

Anyway. storage and costs are another thing.

Bloody PNC's!!!! I swore I would not be buying any more PNC's, BUT,, I got sucked into the Remembrance PNC with $2.00 coloured coin.

  Remembrance Day the 11th of the 11th right?

Am I being a bit picky here???
 I mean these are for Remembrance day.
But these stupid things are postmarked the 1st of the 11th.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking that they should be postmarked the 11th of the 11th?.

Yes yes I do know the 11th was a Sunday.
But if you are going to do this sort of thing should you not try & get it right at least, & why the 1st so there is only ones on the date?

This is definitely the very last PNC I ever buy

I only have 110 different 25mm $1 coins in my collection as of yet.
I still have a long way to go.
The buggers mint these like there is no tomorrow, It is a struggle just to keep up with the new ones let alone acquiring past issues :dash1:

I have only got stuck into these in earnest over the past year, initialy I didn't realise just how many diferant $1 coins were out there:blush:

I was attracted by the pretty little coloured coin. DAMN!!

It's a bit like growing a lawn.

A lot of work in the beginning and you have to fertilise and keep the weeds out of it.

If you neglect it for too long it takes a lot of work to get it perfect again.

BUT isn't it SOOOO nice to sit back with a beer and simply admire it when it is back up to scratch again :yahoo:
In comparison you have a fantastic lawn :good:
Mine is yet simply a weed patch :laugh2:
