Ford Coins 12 x $0.50c Pieces

I sent a 5kg box of used stamps to the U.S. a few years ago,
and did the exact same thing.

A nice added bonus GS, well done :good:

Yes, more than happy with the parcel, stamps and of course, the two sets of Ford Coins.

My sets from the mint haven't arrived yet, but the set I bought through a reseller came through on Monday.

My sets I ordered from Downies on 3rd October (10 days ago) have not even been packed, let alone dispatched. Here is what they advised yesterday;
"We are pleased to advise that we have now charged your credit card and  your order has been sent to our warehouse for dispatch.
This is the final step before your order leaves our warehouse, you will  receive another email once your order has been shipped."

Yet their website boasts "Mail Order – fast & efficient!". I don't understand their meaning of "fast".

Those tins sure do take up a lot of room in the safe.

Just got my Ford set delivered ... Wow .. What a beautiful set it is. Just the tin by itself is awesome. The coin cards inside have massive mounts of information about each car. Obviously very well researched by whoever put it together. The extra insert with the Ford in Australia timeline is also very impressive.

I think they have bettered the Holden set they did last year, but then Fords have always bettered Holden's

Probably straight out of the Ford Marketing department :winkextra:

And I thought I was the cynical one.

[Pedro]

I thought it was very logical Jeff :laugh2: but I must admit there is cynical streak somewhere within .

[JeffH]

Both logical and cynical and a grain of truth as well I think. I mark that as 2½ out of 3.

I bought four of these Ford sets; two for family members and two on spec for people I thought would want them -didn't have time to check if they would want them as RAM was sold out and few dealers had any left (often at a marked up price).
Well the other people thought $160 too high for a set of only 12 x 50¢ coins. So I have one on eBay now. Ford Australian Classic Collection -Genuine, limited Mint set
After seeing what happened with the Holden set (I was too late for that) I knew it would be most likely a feeding frenzy and I would get my money back (plus a slight profit) if I was stuck with some.

With selling fees and postage cost I am just above break even now.

Hopefully will end up matching (or bettering) the prices of other recent sales of this set Jeff (with a nice little profit to boot) - good luck!
