Downies are like the TPGs. Their income doesn't come from the "Kosherness" of what passes through their hands, but rather from the fact that it passed through their hands in the first place.

Win, Lose or Draw, the house always wins.

You did notice the " " used when is said "Kosher, Pretty much the same as Markn's "grader" comment :angel:

[Fulvio]

Yep. I did.

Yep. I did.

From the Royal Australian Mints Facebook & Twitter accounts

I wonder how the mint explains this "mistake" :scratch_one-s_head:
The obverse look to be better than the obverse :blink: :mocking:

[r9453]

Is that really on the RAM Facebook page? I'm guessing both dies are made from the same master hub but one is likely to better than the other. Who knows how many coins were struck before this one?

So whose picture did the RAM use on their fb page, or do they have one of their own  to photograph.

[r9453]

It looks more like a FB image, surely the RAM could do better than that? In all probability, if current theory is correct re smuggling and clandestine manufacture, the RAM would not have one, surely?

[Pedro]

Are the RAM trying to "legitimise" this coin???

I love it how it says (in a slightly earlier post):

"One of the reasons the Mint needs to produce new coins is because so many are sitting in jars, money boxes or down the backs of many couches. The Reserve Bank estimates that each Australian has $37 worth of coins around the house."

It makes me wonder just how many have been removed by us noodlers.

[Pedro]

I think I may have my $37 worth; well, maybe a little more. And there is $3 inside our couch that I can't get out (slippery little suckers!). :dash1:
