Taxation 20c Coin As Issued

Goldseeker · May 15, 2015, 06:53:54 AM

Have made contact in the last coup[le of days with a lady from the ATO who has the free bee 20c stuck to the card, as issued.

It is now on the way to me for a small sum of money.

Now I am negotiating for the lapel pin that she has but can't find.

I shall put up scans when item in hand.

I think I can remember the same thing going for just short of $300 something when they first released the coin on the card.

Is this a coin that is worth more because of the packaging or is it different in some way? Also what is the history on this one?

The pictured items were gifted to every staff member of the ATO in 2010 for the 100 years. The coin is no different, it's the packaging. Maybe it should be in Macca's.

Just another packyboxitis issue Mate.
The coin is just the regular circulation issue.

it was only issued to staff (sealed inside the folder) and was not sold through outlets etc

my hubby has one
he doesn't work for the ATO but was invited along to the event at the RAM as he was the coin club el' presidnto at the time

we don't really know how much they are worth but were under the impression that they were a collectable
noted that goldie says that he is getting his for a small sum of money - what ever that means

Hhmm thanks purple. So any ideas on numbers issued?
I will have to start hunting for them

robbiegal · May 15, 2015, 01:49:34 PM

just hang around the ATO and harass the staffers as they leave work!

Just a quick glance at the annual report 2011
20 cent ato 2010 803494 29,500 unlimited
That could be it, will have to look around further to confirm.

The only other issue from memory was the PNC which has a different number and a mintage of 15,000 (2010 report) which sounds about right.

These numbers in addition to the circulation 11,575,000

robbiegal · May 15, 2015, 04:00:41 PM

they made RAM rolls - I have a few of them
not worth all that much these days

ausjack · May 15, 2015, 04:11:53 PM

Yeah I have a heap I took from the pond but think they might go for another swim soon as they're not the nicest looking coin.

robbiegal · May 15, 2015, 04:34:25 PM

true
I reckon they were a terrible design for circulation - bit like that cricket coin
but they look lovely brand new

I recon it was a crap concept to start with.
Who in their right mind celebrates being taxed for the last 100 years, NOT me I can assure you :angel:

The third one PPH, is that of the Lapel Pin?

And no, It cost me a bit more than $0.25.c for the item.

If my mind serves me correct, one sold on EBay just after they were released to the ATO Employees for a little under $300.00.
