ERRORS FOUND Maccas 23rd Edition

[Goldseeker]

This thread has been opened by me to advise Greg of errors that are being found in his latest Catalogue.


Page 265, 2013 Centenary Of Kangaroo Stamp:   Error is that there were none of the PNC referred to as Mc13/09, 2013, 50c RAM/AP 56,065 May 10, 2013.   (I believe this comment should refer to 2013 Commonwealth Stamps Centenary, Mc. 13/07 2013 $1 RAM/AP tba May 10, 2013 15.95 25.)

The only ones issued were the 1250 numbered PNC's, post marked for each day with different ink, a grand total of 7,500 PNC's.

Goldie,  Wasn't there 3 types of 2013 Kangaroo Stamp PNCs produced?

(1)   The APO overprint version - 7500     $30 each on the day
(2)   The APTA overprint version    $36 each on the day
(3)   The standard non overprint version.   $20 each

That would account for the larger production figure quoted.

Cheers

Goldie,  I should add that I haven't seen the new version of Mackas yet, so the designation code and layout may be different to the previous edition.   I must purchase one today!

notcb:   I am sure Greg will understand my first comment in this thread even though I have since amended it.

According to my collection of PNC's, the following is incorrect in the catalogue:

Page 272, 2015 Centenary Of Lighthouses (PM),Mc 15/09 picture shown is incorrect as that is the L:imited Edition PNC restricted to 200.   The picture shown on Page 274, Mc 15/19 and the picture shown on page 272 Mc 15/09 should be swapped around.




According to my PNC collection, five PNC's are missing from the catalogue.   The PNC's are joint issue with New Zealand, with NZ and Australian stamps on the PNC containing a NZ 50c piece and   The PNC's are limited edition  that were issued 250 on each of the four days of the show with each days cancellation stamp was of a different colour. whilst the fifth PNC is again a joint issue with NZ but had a circulation of 10,000 something.

Scans of these PNC's can be forwarded if required.

I appreciate the errors page and agree with most of what has been posted. The only one I don't agree with at this stage is the aust/NZ PNC.  I though long and hard about this and a few other Royal issues. While these issues have an Australian Stamp, they do not have a coin and as this is a coin book, that should be part of the criteria - as I see it anyway.  To be consistent, I have removed an issue I had in the last book.  This is the Great War issue that appeared on page 275 of the 22nd edition. Again, an Australian stamp but no coin.

The same goes for PNC's that have medallions rather than coins. No disrespect to collectors of these issues, but again no coin. I have also decided to overlook private issues where a hole has been drilled out of a non-PNC issue such as a FDC or similar.  However I have included 'club or society' quasi private issues with their own overprint to sell at a show or a fair.  Again, I have only included overprints that appear on otherwise official issues. A good example of this is the 2010 Centenary of Commonwealth Coins on page 254.

I've also found a few of my own mistakes.  On page 283 I have the wrong mintage figure for reference Mc17/01.

Finally I have changed the Reference numbers as the amount of previously unpublished numbers made the old system unworkable.

Thanks to everyone for helping to make the next issue just that bit more accurate.

Page 44 (half sovereign varieties):

The pic of the 1861/0 overdate appears to be the normal version & not an overdate.

The 1858 double R:
The term "Double R' has stuck, but it should be mentioned that its actually R over E.

Page 237, Australian Mint Sets, 2008, International Year Of Planet Earth.   Notation "j" ...with commemorative $1 and 20c coins.   That is a misleading comment. I believe it should read "Issued separately a commemorative $1 and 20c two coin mint set, sold separately from the six coin mint set".   The same comment should be affixed to the four sets mentioned below.

I have not received my new copy yet But in the last edition the coins from these 2 coin sets are mentioned in the 20c section AND the $1 section of the book, It is also mentioned  that the coins were available in the 2 coin sets

My copy that I bought from Bigfallani arrived today along with a nice surprise from Greg  :yahoo:
The 2 coin sets that Goldie was worried about are mentioned on the relevant pages as they were in the last edition, So all is Good there :good:

Glad it finally arrived trout. I sent a copy to the USA the same day as I sent yours and it arrived Tuesday. Given Aussie post is getting slower I can not see how they can justify an October price increase greater than inflation. What a joke!
