Decimal mintmarks

I won't be buying the ABC series or any 2016 series. The voluminous approach has soured my interest. I am so disenfranchised on this line of collecting that I am now actively divesting all my $1 with the exception of the odd one or two that I find attractive.

I hope that others can still find happiness in collecting these coins. Some of them still do have great appeal.

I would like to know how many collectors that have the 2015 ABC series, also have or will be getting the 2016 series. If any.

I have the two sets of the ABC coins for 2015 but I just can't justify or find the funds to buy the 2016 sets.

I have to draw the line somewhere.

In fact, if the RAM could supply me a set of "proof" coins with COA Numbered 400 well then I just might change my mind.

Regardless, storage space as well has to be taken into consideration.

The only thing any good about the 2015 ABC set is they will be scarce-rare as a full set of 26 coins in the future , This is because they were so unpopular few collectors bothered to get a full set IMHO.

Are you suggesting that by getting the 2016set & having the 2015set
would/could be a good thing?:ok:

Have been putting together a stand alone list of al/br dollars as a quick reference, it basically reflects my dollar collecting interest . The list doesn't include proofs, the only coloured coins are the 2013 Black Caviar and the 2014 coloured MOR, and certainly not any of the ABC coins. There are a handful of varieties, but not including cuds or rotated dies etc. Amazingly there are 311 in total, and I may have missed the odd one. Will try to post it when finished.

I am in the process of selling my slabbed dollar coins and still have one PP album full of other 25mm dollars along with a heap of other coins still in the mint packaging.
I also have a full set of the 25mm silver proofs including the 2016 sov design, these I think I will keep.
I did not get the ABC silver proofs because I don't consider them a worthy addition to this hard and expensive type set :ok:

Many collectors still persevere with this set of 25mm dollars and I admire their tenacity ,
The sheer number of different coins minted in 2014-2015 became "overwhelming" for me and I called it quits.
I do feel sad that I have lost interest in these but I have since put my resources and efforts into different areas of numismatics and I am once again enjoying my collecting.

I hear what all the responses above are saying.

But, have you advised the authorities as to why you are not collecting certain items any more.

I have let AustPost know as to why I am not collecting PNC's anymore and the main reason was "there are too many issues each year to keep the collection up to date".

Going by comments made by Aust Post Philatellic, they have said that they intend to reduce the number of PNC's issued each year.   (I trust that they are not just talking about the quantities issued per issue here).

Maybe a note in the right place just might get some results.

I have sworn off these bloody 25mm dollar coins, well almost :angel:
This one is far too nice to "Pass" on, Thanks RG :heart:

Al/Br Dollars up to and including 2015

A little while back I mentioned I was attempting to put together a stand alone list of al/br dollars minus proofs and coloured coins. Thankfully my lovely Wife was able to decipher, file and transfer my barely legible scribblings to the correct place. The majority of info being gleaned from other sources, particularly the blog.

The fact is there are three coloured coins included because to me they are important and that's who the list is for:angel: ie. 1913 Black Caviar, 1914 Coloured Roo, 1915 Red Poppy. Sorry to the variety, cud, die crack and clock face people, but did include 1993 Land Care with cud in waves, the 2000 Mule of course, as well as the different sized obverses from 1999 and 2001.

Also included are all the early gallery press dollars which are pretty much indistinguishable unless you actually happened to be there, and many did make that special trip, so they know what they have and therefore should be included  IMHO. And no, I don't have all of them :cray: so still looking out for that honest seller who did visit the RAM and pressed a particular coin(s) :dodgy:

Have done my best to keep errors to a minimum, and in keeping with the blog, the various sources of each coin has hopefully been shown.
