HM 90th Birthday

[LooseChange]

Hmm.... i actually like these... because of the frosted finish. Bit different to how the frosting is with the proof coins.

A bit of a slip up at the mint it seems. Nothing available come QEII's birthday then a late "made to order" offering. I'm assuming the "made to order" part covers their butts as they can't get the production out until August.

Too much time spent on the ANZAC to Afghanistan sets and dropped the ball on the QEII 90th.

It will be interesting to see how these coins come out.

If you haven't ordered the 3 coin set from the RAM then today is the last day as Monday is a Public Holiday.

Thank you for the reminder

I wonder when we will finally find out the actual mintage figures for this particular set ?

Should still be able to make order online. i think.. for anyone still wanting these.

I ordered some.. so curious as to the final mintage also.
I see a few re-sellers/dealers have these advertised... i wonder how many they booked.

Isn't this guaranteed to be a bad idea since supply and demand will be perfectly matched?

I see what you mean for sure.

But i guess the dealers know what stock they can move. The chance to buy from the mint is just about over.

 And for $25 you can not do much better these days.

There will be quite a few collectors that are blissfully unaware that this set is available and that the frosted uncirculated finish is quite different to the rest of our 20 and 50 cent coins that we have in our collections at the moment.
All 3 coins are quite unique normal design coins because of the finish and the obverses on the 20 cent coins and I suggest that if you want these to add to your collections  then get them now from the RAM website before they hit the secondary market :ok:

Ah i see so the frosted parts are reverse.

From my understanding both the reverse and the obverse are frosted.
These will be interesting to see what they look like "In Hand" and I can't wait to put them under my camera

:scratch_one-s_head: how many coins do you have under there, must be a big camera :mocking:

Ooops. I meant to say "reversed". Used to be the device, not the field that's frosted isn't it, which is opposite to these?
