HM 90th Birthday

[trout]

9108 is pretty low. Anything under 10k is attractive to me.

Either there wasn't that much interest in this set or some collectors were unaware it was available.
Also at $25 a set they weren't in the bargain range and this may have influenced some as well.
All 3 of the coins in this set are quite unique and I am looking forward to receiving mine.
The yearly silver proof set has a mintage of just 1966 and it has a round silver 50c in it along with the 1 and 2c coins.
These are still available as far as I know :ok:

My "in come the dollars in come the cents" set will have to fill that void... if i wasnt trying to buy a house i would be all over it.

The Silver proof set is presented in pretty much the same size and shape box except that it is made of wood.
I think it will complement the popular in come the dollars/cents set very nicely :good:

It sucks because i would of liked the chance to easily buy a new double-bar coin. Kind of false advertising.

The 50 Cent coin in the 2015 2 coin 50.50 set is a double bar proof

The 50 Cent coin in the 2015 2 coin 50.50 set is a double bar proof

Oh really.. is that for both coins, or just one? And is this universal, if this is so, i will order one tonight. Thanks for the info.

As far as I am aware the round 50c is just a standard coin, the proof has the double bars.
I only found out about this myself yesterday and have ordered one from eBay.
I should get it in about a week, Maybe it would be wise to wait until I can say for certain that the proof has the double bars or maybe one of our members that have one of these sets could confirm this for us.

Ill wait on you or someone else confirming it for certain. Anyone want to chime in?


Edit:
I pulled the trigger, so ill confirm when it arrives. Thanks again for the heads up trout.

As I live in the West you will most probably get your coin before I do

Hey Trout,

Well you were right, i got mine and the dodecagonal coin is double-bar.
Thanks for the lead. I had over looked this release, as the mints photos hadn't shown it.

That's great news Mate.
I still haven't got mine yet and am now looking forward to getting them even more :good:

[trout]

Can you post an image of the double bar Mate ?

Hi Trout,

I made a separate thread: " Double Bar 50c "

These 3 coin sets should start getting shipped out from RAM on Monday.
Being in the West I probably won't see mine for 7-10 later, So if anyone gets theirs sooner a few images posted here would be nice
With a bit of luck maybe the 50c in this set will sport a double bar on it as well

Waiting ... waiting..  .... see them listed on Ebay for next week but at twice the price.

[trout]

I ordered mine on 21/4/16, Still no word about shipment from RAM :dash1:

[Goldseeker]

Same ere.   I am still waiting.
