2010 Incorrect COA

[Goldseeker]

I was cataloguing my coins today when I spotted a possible error by the RAM.

I refer to the ANDA Release 100 Years of Australian Coinage shown below:



The coin clearly shows a master Mint Mark as shown below:



However, the COA as issued by the RAM states " "P" Privy Mark as shown below:



I have just looked at the other coins of this issue and the same as above is on the "B" issue.   COA states "B" Privy Mark whereas the coin is a Master Mint Mark.

Seems like someone has mucked up somewheres.
Even Greg Macdonalds Catalogue has no mention of this issue.   I think the RAM has fouled up and Gregs catalogue needs to be updated accordingly.

Good looking pics there goldy.

Thanks gnome, all done on my Epsom V370 Photo Scanner.

By way of confirmation, I looked at my coins. They are the same for the B, M, S and P. The C is a regular mint mark.

r9453-The above refers to the $1 Silver Proof issues at the ANDA Shows.   I am not talking about the Alum-Br if any.

Unless I have misinterpreted your comment above.

Hi Goldseeker,

I meant the silver proofs - my B, M, S and P have the same master mint mark that you describe. The C is a regular mint mark.









Edit: I still have the packaging somewhere in my shed.

There are 2 "C" mint mark coins in this issue .
A standard "C" mint mark and the "C" Master mint mark, All the other mintmarks have the "Roo" in the design like the master mintmark coin :ok:

Some really great images shown all round there.

There are 2 "C" mint mark coins in this issue

Thanks for pointing that out, another one that I had missed.

Edit: Oops, I just found it, turns out it was misplaced - that was lucky. I actually purchased it from trout a few years ago.

Great photos all round.

But are your COA for the coins state the same as mine?

Yes they do, I believe that the "Roo" incorporated in the privy mark is there because these coins were exclusively produced for the ANDA shows in 2010.
The ANDA logo is a Kangaroo in flight and that's why it is incorporated in the design, they just got the roo going in the opposite direction though :ok:

Interestingly PCGS do not recognise the difference between the "C" mintmark and the master mint mark coins and give then the same PCGS number of 502725.
Which is a bit frustrating as I have both coins graded but can only add 1 of them to my set registry :dash1:

Holy catfish I never knew such a set existed but I'm a little surprised you only have 11% - is that because the missing ones are Perth and/or non-standard size? I notice some entries on the list don't even have a PCGS coin number. Talk about rafferty's rules.

Yes Most of the coins in the set are bullion type or Perth mint grannybait.
Only a small percentage are actually 25mm coins.
