Monash's portrait makes his head a bit too round?

Somehow, I don't think I'll be forgetting these any time soon. :drooling:

I think I might wait and see if a $1 ANZAC is released for 2018 and
then buy both at the same time. Save $10 postage.

The $2 Lest we Forget coin looks very nice.

That's what I am thinking too.

Do we know for sure that they will do baggies for that?

I bought 3 bags of the $2 yesterday, but if they start selling the 2018 ANZAC $1, I'll just buy 3 bags of it plus another 3 bags of the $2. That will help to subsidise the extra postage charge.

Might be cheaper for some to order a roll here, $99 with free postage:

I still can't secure even one of these coins from anywhere.

I had to get mine from Downies but I still require some for a neighbour.

That Sydney coins offer sounds good.
I paid postage like a shmuck

Which ones are you after - loose (from circulation), bagged (from the mint), carded (from the mint), carded (from Downies), or rolled (with mint packaging)?

Goldseeker · May 11, 2018, 06:38:55 PM

Loose ones from circulation.

Nup. Haven't got any of those yet. For me it's just mint bags, mint rolls and the mint carded version.

What is the quality like with the mint/satchet bags this year? The 2017 Anzac $2 coins were the last lot of baggies I bought from the mint and they were heavily scratched and beat up. Even more so than other years
