I'm so glad I don't collect their fodder anymore.

Heh! I'm hooked on the counterstamp dollars, but they do become more expensive when two trips are required, would be better to source them from dealers after they get their allocation! It would be just my luck for this to be the first occasion when dealers didn't get a leg up!

Quote from: 'seedyrom' pid='113889' dateline='1516781104'There's no such thing as too much Borobi!

Don't knock the Borobi. I was at Wynyard Coins the other day and there was one very excited little girl who is getting one from her dad. She absolutely loved it and gushing over the details. One very happy collector.

I'm certainly not knocking him.

I'm a big fan.

As they say ... you can't spell highway robbery without Borobi.

I've got a bunch more, but I've forgotten where abouts in the backyard I buried them.

I wanted them, because was able to buy a 2018 dated coin, with Queen Elizabeth II's head on it back in April 2017 ... and I didn't think she'd make it through to January.

Her mum lived til 101.

Prince Charles is 69. There is every chance that he will die before her.

Made the trip again today to counter stamp heaven, and even though I'm not a fan of the mints coloured offerings I couldn't help it, counterstamp is the priority :yahoo:

I would be putting that coin in a 2x2 as I don't think against the plastic in that packaging would do the coin any good.

Lovely Auto! Great photos as per usual!

seedyrom · January 26, 2018, 02:32:23 PM

Damn you Borobi!!!
I'm a sucker for a blue koala in green shorts.

Anyone willing to get me 3 and post to Sydney for $25?

rollycoins · January 26, 2018, 05:46:06 PM

I've got to say I'm hooked too! 2 coins to Adelaide anyone? Hahaha

autocoupler · January 27, 2018, 10:39:24 AM

I have two spares of the borobi counterstamp. If anyone wants them they are welcome to them at my cost which is $7.50 each plus registered post whatever that will be, probably around $5 or $6 maybe more, I would advise before sending. Keep in mind dealers will probably receive an allocation of these coins, and at a guess may ask $12.50 for them, which could finish up cheaper than paying for postage.

Anyhow, first in best dressed.

I swung by yesterday - seemed very quiet - only a family was in front of me and that was it.
The lady from the mint was quite nice and got out the medals as well.

rollycoins · January 29, 2018, 04:02:27 PM

If anyone in QLD or whoever is heading to the pop up shop and doesn't mind getting me 2, please drop me a message! Am still trying to get them. I mean eBay has them, but they're $25 to $30 each. Thanks in advance!

The pop up shop was only on Friday January 26th
