got greens today
but cracked a bought a bag of yellows as I only have 2 yellows
paid the rip off premium but  my only success with a bag was a bag of reds that was torn before the checkout chick gave it to me - at least I have 25 reds!!

need some blacks ? maybe blues too, so might be interested in a couple of colour swaps

[interest]

are you serious?

so as not to contaminate thread see link

i do believe the thread is fairly well contaminated ATM anyways!! ha ha

THERE SHOULD BE FIVE FULL SETS IN EACH BOX.

Nope.

Both the mint and examination of the stocks at the various stores I visited showed that the sets are randomly packed. One box I saw was almost entirely swimming for example.

Of course, MY box IS five sets, but it took a lot of legwork and much begging/swapping to build it.

i got my delivery for the $1 bag form the RAM
I had also taken a punt and bought a 5 coins set hoping I'd get a swimmer  - chance is 1 in 5

got .............drum roll ............ the highjumper

now i have 3 of them!!

[Fulvio]

now i have 3 of them!!

Swap them at woolies.

[robbiegal]

seriously?

[Fulvio]

seriously?

Yup. That's what I did. May take a little sweet talking, but once you point out that you're collecting the set, and you accidentally doubled up, they should be fine. Just don't try and do more than one at a time.. spread them out.

[robbiegal]

no swimmers at the mint today
we went down for the holdens - and it was great - mega memory lane

but also no coin swaps and no swimmer 5 coin cards - just the tinned heritage sets

off to woolies to try and do a deal  ha ha

Hey RG, please PM your address... no need to pay... its less than a large coffees worth.:wavemulticolor:

[robbiegal]

cheers
I have many many beautiful 1964 pennies that would love a new home as well!!
Alas, often a cup of coffee costs more than the said penny ha ha

Having the Paralympic coin in hand I think it looks the most stylish of the Olympic coins. Very nice!
