I don't believe I'm saying this!

[Greg McDonald]

I've just about put the lid on adding all the new issues that have come out in the past year or so to the 23rd edition.  Believe it or not, I think I might have overlooked a few issues.

Can anyone let me know if the Perth Mint produced any coins for the recent Rio Olympics?

I also haven't come across the usual Christmas PNC issue?

Can anyone help, please

Cheers

Greg

Hi Greg,

As far as the Perth Mint Christmas PNCs go, examples from Ebay are attached below. In both cases a Tuvalu $1 is included in the PNC.

Limited Edition version of 300:

I don't recall Perth doing any rio olypic coins. Ram did $2 on behalf of Woolworths and the did Australian Olympic team coins for the aoc. Perth did nothing

I don't envy your job, Greg. Keeping up with the mint product is a full-time job. I gave up trying to keep up with just the dollar coins!

I reckon Greg should release two books - one for circulating coins and one for uncirculating coins. That would make it so much easier for me to find things.

[ausjack]

Yes there's only so much you can jam into a pocket guide but trying to do two books might be a bit of a mission and not really worth the time or trouble.

[brismike]

Actually he is trying to keep up with two mints. RAM and Perth. I reckon they should be separated in the book. Would be good to split it into four sections. 1 - Pre-Decimal Coins, 2 - RAM Decimal including RAM related PNC's, 3 - Perth Stuff including Perth Mint PNC's & 4 - Banknotes.

I look forward to the next edition regardless.

Section 2 should be split into two subsections: 2a - Circulating Coins and 2b - NCLT. That will make it easy for noodlers like me.

Good idea Herc. Spink have just done that with their catalogue, and the Brits have far fewer mint products than we do.

The annual Mint Sets are "Mint Product" and so are the various Rolls of coins that RAM only makes available to their "Pet" dealers as well :angel:

[brismike]

Yes you are right Trout ..... I wasn't thinking of that though, i was thinking about all the other stuff that comes out.

Mike.
