2015 maccas errors

[Bigfellani5]

This thread is not a discussion thread. It is not a slam thread. It is here to help Greg correct factual errors in the 2015 edition of his book.
SAS pnc in pnc section states it is ram issue...it is a PM issue. This dollar coin also appears in the RAM section for $1 coins.

Correct ... I will receive the 2015 Maccas tomorrow and have a browse ... and I'm in total agreement about not slamming Greg McDonald or his guide in any way :yahoo:

I presume that this thread is for errors found in the 22nd Edition of Greg's book?

[Goldseeker]

22nd Edition, Page 213, top of page photos, 2013 Coronation picture is incorrect.

22nd Edition, Page 255, 1999Year Of Older persons, Retail Average "See Below"-   Nothing below.

22nd Edition, Page 269, 2012 Remembrance PNC = Incorrect Picture of coin.   Should be the red $2.00 coin.

22nd Edition, Page 272, 2013 Birth Of Prince George = A Limited Edition of this PNC was issues at the World Coin Expo held at Etihad Stadium, (date I can't recall but sometime in 2013).   This issue was limited to 300 and 150 per day were made available.   Each envelope is gold cancelled and individually numbered.   See here: http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2013_Issue_21A_LE_Front~0.jpg

22nd Edition, Page 273, 2013 Black Caviar Special Edition = Sentence of the description has been duplicated.   QUOTE " The PNC is Large size.........and cancelled on 1 November" UNQUOTE.  This quote is then duplicated.

22nd Edition, Page 275, 2014 The Great War - Aust & UK Issue PNC = Notes: QUOTE ..........limited to 10,000.....UNQUOTE, Should read "......limited to 2,500 individually numbered.......".

22nd Edition, Page 275, 2014 Remembrance Day PNC = Notes state QUOTE This PNC........11th month" UNQUOTE.   In fact a dual coined PNC was issued showing the Red and green $2 coins together in a PNC that can be viewed here: http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014_Issue_13A_LE_Remebrance_Front.jpg

22nd Edition, Page 275, 2014 Merry Christmas = A Limited Edition of this PNC was issued,   See here:

Hi there Goldseeker,

Great post.  You spent a lot of time on that and I really appreciate it.  Some of these PNC's seem to pop up all over the place.  I kind of knew I wasn't going to this right first time around but it should be spot on in the next edition.

By the way what do you all think of changed layout for the NCLT issues?

Do you like all the variations of type, metal, proof and unc all under the one heading?

Is it clearer to work out the mint marked coins?

Who likes the new column for UNC, NCLT, OFF METAL etc?

Any other suggestions or improvements.

Love the feedback.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed

Cheers

Greg

Thanks for your kind comments Greg.

I didn't like the loyout when I first saw it but after a while it grows on you and I tend to like it now.

A lot of thought has gone into this section.

Well done.

If you need to use any of my scans that I have put in the Gallery then please use them Greg.

I do believe I have a few more overprinted PNC's that you haven't mentioned but I shall post them here for your perusal once I get a bit of time spare.

p171 2004 $1 hologram. Mentions this being in the mint sets and baby sets. A standard $1 appeared in mint sets and baby mint sets. Hologram only appeared in 2004 proof set

Not sure if this is an error or not... but on pg 60 for the information on McD 127a, i.e. the inverted A as V error, it says only 10 examples known. PCGS has graded 16 so far. I know at least one raw.

See http://www.pcgs.com/pop/valueview.aspx?s=506960

No doubt it's still very rare.

pp86 1920 dot above and below $0.50...........I am sure this is well out......should be more like $100 not 50c

Page 373 Sea Life Series missing Moray Eel

[Goldseeker]

Issue 22nd Edition, Page 176, 1995 Waltzing Matilda Centenary, 1995b S Mobile MM, Royal Sydney Show Retail Value shown as $3.00, maybe a typo for $30.00.

[Goldseeker]

22nd Edition, Page 213, Two Dollars, Miscellaneous issues.

Picture for Coronation $2.00 Coin at top line, to the right is incorrect, shows the Lest We Forget coin.
Year Date immediately Under the Remembrance Pictures should read 2012 (b & c) and not 2013

Page 255, PNC: Philatelic Numismatic Covers:1998 Bass & Flinders, Initial in yellow alongside picture of coin states issue price $3.95 whereas below where the four complete details for each PNC are shown Issue Price is now $5.95.  Small but confusing error.

1999 Year Of Older Person;  In the yellow states Retail Average:  See Below.   Sorry there isn't any "below" to be seen.

Page 259:   SAS Folder:   States: Cost $3.95.   Should read $79.95

Page 268 PNC Incorrect Heading for Sir henry Lawson PNC.   I am sure that he was not "2012 Olympic Team Mascot".

Page 269, 2012 Remembrance PNC:   Incorrect picture of enclosed coin.   Shown is the Scolloped coin instead of the round "C" coin.

Page 270, 2013 Centenary Of Canberra PNC:   Duplicate of same entry on page 269.

Page 271:   2013 Australian Kangaroo:   Yellow section indicates issue total is 28,2005.   This is incorrect.   The details "see below" are correct.

Page 273:   2013 AFL Premiers Hawthorn:   Issue shown as 15,0001:  Typo me thinks.

[Goldseeker]

The following details of Mintage, (M) and issue price, (IP) have been taken from my collection of the actual PNC's concerned:

Page 261, Luna Year Of The Ox:  Limited Edition PNC, Gold overprint for the Melbourne Stamp Show 2009:   M = 300, IP = Unknown.  Scan available if required.
Page 268, Australian Ballet: M = 15,000
Page 268, London Olympics 3 Coin set:  M = 10,000
Page 269, AFL Premiers Sydney Swans:   IP = $19.95
Page 270, Black Caviar:   IP = $19.95
Page 271, Australia's First Banknote:   M = 15,000
Page 271, Parliament House:   M = 15,000
Page 273, AFL premiers Hawthorn: IP = $24.95

The above are only small amendments but will assist in publishing accurate records.

[Goldseeker]

Edition 22, Page 179, 2000 Olymphilex Stamp and Trade Fair;   I am sure that there was no mobile Press involved in either the Sydney or Canberra event.   The coins were specially endorsed with the words SYDNEY or CANBERRA on the side of the coins and then sold at the shows.   The notes to these coins need to be amended to reflect this.

Page 178, HMAS Sydney VIP Folder:   Your comments state "2,922 were struck".   This is correct but I did send you a copy of an email that I received that stated "less than 200 are believed to be in existence".   Your comments need to be amended to reflect this.  (I am still chasing this one up with the RAM).

Page 179, 2000 Victoria Cross:   You mention that "Gallery press, Mint Your Own".   This is incorrect.   None were minted on the Gallery Presses as all VC coins were issued in a four fold sleeved package.   Entry need to be amended to reflect this.   (NOTE:   HMAS Sydney was the Visitor Gallery Press for that year).

I do apologise in advance if it appears that my wording that I put into these amendments appear to be stern or orders.   I am simply trying to have corrected, errors in the latest book.

I think Greg should hire you as a proof reader Goldie. :angel:
Great work Mate and I am sure that he will appreciate your efforts :good:
