PNC or Not to PNC?

[MobOfRoos]

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?.

It gives them the opportunity to release ANOTHER PNC postmarked 11/11 down the track. That is what they did last year.

Not sure if this has been covered or not. I did have a read around and could not find any info on this forum about the 2012 V8 supercars 50c PNC.
My understanding is a PNC needs to have a theme for the cover + Stamps + coin that are relevant. It also needs to have dates that a relevant to the overall product.
The cancelation mark is 02 OCT 2012 First Day of Issue. The coin is 2013.
Can the mint use a 2013 coin in a 2012 product that clearly states First Day of Issue in 2012?
Might be easier if I put my question this way, can we have 2014 coins now in 2013?
If this post needs its own thread can Mods please move it, just didn't want to start new tread for nothing.

haha I think I seen that question on stamp boards, simply the Bathurst 50c coin was released 3rd September 2012, and the mint had decided to start using 2013 backing dies, sometimes they do this and its kind of a treat to get a 2013 design early.
Australia post simply used the 50c coins in there PNC products and can put the cancelation mark date as whatever they want, I assume the date on the PNC is actually when the PNC was made, so a month after the official release of the Bathurst 50c commemorative no circulating legal tender coin.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the info yes that helps.......can we call this PNC a "Mule PNC".
Oops please don't all shoot me down ( I don't mean Mule coin...I mean Mule PNC where one part does not match the other part

[Australian coin]

nope this is not a mule coin, the mint intended it to be 2013 die backing, a mule is a mistake that was no meant by the mint.
and Australia Post was just releasing a PNC with their date stamp on it, it is weird but the whole batch would have been made the same by Australia post.
unless you find different dated PNC's ? don't know much about Australia post PNC and how the do the stamps on them

Maybe you'll appreciate this Trout.
My Dollar Collection

well i am impressed with the collection but also daunted in being able to catch up with the amount produced by the mints. just flicking through maccas is enough ! :shok::-/:scratch_one-s_head:

hence as a newbie  i am sticking to quality pre decimal. back in the old days when life was simple :cool: and am sure trout and pph will persevere

sorry not to help with your dilemma

Bathurst PNCs especially the Medallion PNC are in huge demand now

[interest]

This is definitely the very last PNC I ever buy

Isn't that what you said before?

You know the old saying,, "Never say never?"
Well I blodywell bought another PNC. OMG, WTF......
 Maybe I can get out of this on a technicality, because it's a Medallion.
I bought the Holey dollar & dump medallion cover, the best medallion by far & I should know I have a lot of them, (much to my displeasure,)

There is two out at the moment one if a 2013 RAM holey dollar with "C" mint  mark at approx. 11 o'clock & the other is the medallion.

I bought official AP PNC today Holey Dollar with RAM coin.
$15.95
AP code 1799360

The FDI postmark date on Aus Post products applies to the stamp issue date.
It has nothing to do with the coin.
Even if the coin is a PNC only release the date is in the first instance for the stamp and the coin is a bonus.
In this case we (collectors) tend use the FDI date for both items.

Exactly Samhill

PNC are not my type of thing but I do encourage collecting coins & stamps.

Remember seeing a PNC at the 1970 Bi centenary Show in Sydney and taking a very long look at one and deciding they were not for me. But searched out the 50c coin by itself.

[trout]

To be honest the whole thing now has become a chore because of the sheer number of releases each year and keeping it complete doesn't give me as much pleasure as it used to.

I am ssssssoooooooooooooo feeling the same way PP.
It has taken me a Huge effort to complete the set from 1984 to 2014 in decent grades.
The new stuff coming from RAM is so shoddy that unless you have access to multiple coins the chances of getting a decently graded coin are slim to buckleys :dash1:
The older issue coins and the care taken with them Far exceed the quality lately.
The 26 ABC coins are the straw that broke the camels Back as far as I am concerned.
RAM have turned a highly collectable series of coins into "Grannybait" in a heartbeat with this alphabet issue of coins IMHO.
2014 is the date my Decimal sets will end for me, I'm done.
I may buy the odd coin that intrigues/interests me but NOT the multiple mintmark/press issues :huh:
There is a plethora of far more interesting Numismatic coins out there than the Crap being flogged by RAM and that is where I am at collecting at the moment :yahoo:

And you don't have to stop at our borders either, the world is full of beautiful coins,
as you would know, with your new interest in Indian coins.
