Anyone got any idea of when this 2 cent coin will be available? I put in an expression of interest but got no response at all yet?

Cheers Mike

Jump onto the eShop from 8.30 am tomorrow, Friday 3 February 2017 where you can purchase the 2017 2c Bronze Uncirculated Coin. This coin is a fitting acknowledgment to the work of Devlin and a perfect memento to the Stuart Devlin - The Designer with the Midas Touch exhibition.

What's the mintage? (Now now be nice, we all know how you feel about RAM mintage figures... :angel:)

That is anyone's guess But after the fiasco with the mintage of the HM Birthday coins I imagine that the mintage of this coin will be pretty generous.
They have the numbers of the expressions of interest to work on so I don't think that they will stuff this one up :ok:

If they put some effort into it I suppose they would be able to :angel:

None given in email.. also no mention of price. We will see at 830 i guess.

I just ignore the mintage now. It cannot be trusted.

The HM Birthday coin mintages are the first that I am aware of where the mintage for an NCLT offering has been manipulated and changed.
In every other case that I am aware of the mintages given by RAM for NCLT issues is the maximum and in many cases the actual mintage is less because the maximum mintage wasn't sold.
The Masterpieces in Silver sets are a great example of this.
The 1992 Masterpieces in Silver "Royal Ladies" Set was also  a Made to order issue and I haven't heard of any shenanigans regarding this made to order mintage.
I am almost certain that after the HM Birthday coins debacle RAM will be very careful Not to make that sort of mistake in the future.

Im really not trying to discredit all mintages with my comment.. my perspective when purchasing has just changed to not consider low mintages a selling point anymore. Im not sure the mint has actually acknowledged a problem with the HM 90th bday mintage? The last time i read anything they were denying and doubling-down on claimed mintage.

I just ordered 3 as well ( I'll probably regret it) I also took the opportunity to grab another bag of 50c changeovers at face seeing as I had to pay $10 postage on the copper coins anyway :)

Looking at all the different listings it's obvious the RAM doesn't give a hoot about copyright with them all using the ram's generic pic's. I think this coin will be a pretty good money maker for the mint but hopefully I might get one for face value one day, but then how do I pay for it, maybe I could exchange one of my old two cents for a new one :)
