2016 Coins Found in Circulation

[Hercules]

Still no Changeover 5c, 20c or $1 in Brisbane. I've been through so many rolls now that I'm starting to feel dizzy, but they simply aren't turning up for me at all.

If you cant get any of these PM me and i will send you some :ok:

No need to bother. I bought the Changeover baggies from the mint, so I have plenty of them. I just feel bad about breaking the baggies open, so I'm trying to noodle some loose ones I can use individually. :good:

No Worries

I scored another changeover $1 this week!!!!

that makes only 2 found now, these are so hard to find.

I wish I'd bought more of the bagged ones. One bag just doesn't seem enough for such a "rare" coin.

There is NO way that the 2016 Changeover $1 could be considered as "Rare" (Despite what the eBay pundits call them), even to be considered as "Scarce" would be a huge call.
They may be difficult to find in circulation But that by No means equates to them being "Tough" to acquire in high grades.
Yes they  will probably be a Low mintage of maybe a Million coins (This is just a guess) But that is still more than enough for every collector to have at least one coin in high grade in their collection. :ok:

That's why I put "rare" in inverted commas. They're rare in circulation, but not among coin dealers.

No worries
I would imagine that most astute collectors would have taken advantage of RAM's "Baggies" offerings which incidentally was an absolutely  fantastic idea and secured some coins.
It would be nice to see RAM continue to make these baggies available to collectors in lieu of the rolls that they supply to their "Pet" dealers and Not for collectors :dodgy:

I'd actually like to see them release the noncommemorative coins in the baggies as well, because that will enable us to get them before everyone puts their grubby fingers all over them.

They already do this, They are called annual Mint Sets :laugh2:

[runway]

What would a 2016 changeover baggie be worth on the secondary market now?
They were hard to obtain from RAM eShop

Except that last year's mint set didn't have any noncommemorative coins, so you had to get the baby set as well. That's $70 for just $7.70 worth of coins, while the baggies could be purchased at face value. Considering that I'm on a budget, I know which I'd prefer. :ok:

[trout]

I usually get the Baby set coins for my albums because in most cases the coins are in far better condition than the annual mint sets.
In the past few years though I have had to get both the Baby and the Mint sets because there has been that "Special" coin included in the Mint sets and not in the Baby sets.
There is NO way that RAM will kill the "Fattened Calf" of the Mint and Baby sets and make the new coins available at face value for collectors.

I think it really "Sucks" that genuine RAM rolls are now ONLY available from their "Pet" Dealers at a hefty premium and Not from RAM direct.
The "Baggies" are great for collectors But the better coins will always come from the rolls as a general rule because there is a lesser chance of the coins "Bagging Up" in a roll.

For those who didn't read the other thread, I noodled my first Changeover 5c yesterday. However, I'll have to do more noodling to determine whether it was released here or brought up by a southerner.

[Triggersmob]

Still haven't seen any normal 2016 5c coins here in Perth.

Maybe I should send you some. I've found 51 so far, and I wasn't even trying.
