Anzac Coin Collection released by News Corp Australia

[dahongable]

Just received my full set with the $1 coin yesterday. Contemplating whether or not to sell the set with all 15 coins, or to hold off until demand is higher.

[Goldseeker]

If you only have the one complete set then I suggest you hang on to it for a very long time.

If all the figures are correct, only 13,500 complete sets were released but only time will tell.

Like I said before, it is very unfair that the $1 was not available for those whom bought the paper and 20c coins. Those ordering the coin set without the paper got the extra rare ANZAC $1. Downies are out of stock for members as well, someone questioned that.
last time I get sucked in by News corp or any other granny bait scheme.

[runway]

I'm wondering how Downies even had $1 and now seeking more allocation from RAM?
Purhaps they are contacting all Newscorp newspapers and buying stock?

[Triggersmob]

Maybe someone could write an e-mail to the RAM and we could all sign it and tell them we are not happy and would like to be able to buy them from the RAM.  Do you think they would mint some more?

G'day,
          It was only last year that there was anger on this and other forums about how people were selling multiple examples of the Victoria Cross Coin, and yet now, I see people on this forum crowing about having multiple sets of the Anzac Coin series. The newsagents in my city (regional Queensland) had generally sold out by 8am, so people did miss out. I understand it's the quick or the dead, but to me it seems hypocritical to whinge last time, and to crow now.

Thanks,
Rastis.

Each to their own Rastis

There are no predetermined rules that anyone has to abide by. Everything in life has some sprouting and some complaining.

For curiosity sake, I have neither the VC coin nor the Anzac set and to be honest I don't really care. Once again, each to their own.

As a note, perhaps the ones complaining previously may not be the sames ones crowing now? (Who knows).

Ah ahahah yeah, it's always the way.  Someone posted up a 1966 mint set here yesterday with an UNC wavy 20c in it that sold for $100 odd by a stamp seller who clearly didn't know what he had.  Amazing bargain.  Can you imagine the ruckus if a professional dealer paid that for an UNC wavy 20c from general member of the public who didn't know better?  

Sadly if a lot of people who thinks they are losing out squeal the loudest, but if if that same person gets a bargain or "sticks it to the man" then they are happy.

Wow my newsagent returned heaps of the newspaper Anzac coins. I didn't realise there was a shortage

If you missed out and want a set give me a pm. Not crowing its just an offer to you.

[trout]

I imagine that these sets will be regarded pretty much the same as the $5 Olympic coin sets are now in the future.
I did manage (against my better judgment) to get 2 sets of the 20 cent coins and 3 of the dollar coins from eBay and Downies.
I wont be home for a few weeks and haven't seen them yet, So I cant comment on the designs or quality yet

Thanks for the offer, but I managed to collect all of the 20 cent coins. I did receive the Victoria cross coin (which I still have) but a mate who applied as well missed out. Markn summed up what I was trying to say,(I'm not all that good with words, the 4 years in grade 3 were a waste of time) better then I could have.

I've been told Schools have been able to access full sets of these Coins,not sure whether its the unsold/unclaimed ones or from the original mintage but whatever the case they will only be a novelty item,Anzac memory, IMO longterm and with the obvious exception of the coloured $1 will struggle to reach purchase price.
Shame to see so many Ebayers,and many others, trying to make money out of the Anzac disaster.My 2c take on it.

Having watched them on Ebay for the past week I can see they appear to be dropping in price already. The hype of Anzac Day is starting to wear off. Still doesn't change the fact I want one, but not at these ridiculous prices.

I'm still expecting the RAM to release these in another format this year
