Alphabet $1 Coins

[redlock]

From what I read, they will have at least one per roll.

Selected from the entire alphabet or just the letter ''A?''

Well, I guess, we'll know by Monday.

Well I went and forked out many dollars for todays Alphabet coins and ended up with six tubes.

Got home, opened each tube and got this out of the last tube checked:   The hard to find Letter Mint Marked coin:

Well done Bruce

Top stuff Goldie!  :ok:

Opened 4 rolls with no privy coins

Where do they get the idea that people are actually going to open these rolls? I'm going to keep mine for 50 years and then sell them off to the highest bidder. Thus, I'll never know whether I got the privy marked coin or not.

[Goldseeker]

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

The remains is that I now have SIX damaged tubes each with 26 coins and at present I am stuck with them.   (I re=placed the Mint mark "A" coin with one of my spares).

It would seem that there are very few privy marked coins and chance of getting one is slim.
I haven't looked but I suspect that would prompt an eBay feeding frenzy.

Yeah, very likely.

Yeah, very likely.

On the listings I've seen, there's a lot of active bidding around the $350 mark :swoon:

[brismike]

I bought 2 tubes last week with no privy coin..... Today I bought 3 tubes and got one in the last one I opened. I believe there are 7,500 privy marked coins so there must be 37,500 tubes, seeing as I have heard there is a one in 5 chance of getting one.

The Aluminium-bronze Proof sets sold out in less than an hour, 1250 sets at $370 each.

The Silver Proof Sets were all gone by 2pm, 250 sets at $1395 each.

ps - if you need to buy an individual coin to make up a set of 26 from the ones given in change at the Post Office, buy them online from Aussie Post at $3 each. The are offering free shipping unlike the RAM who charge $10.

Cheers Mike

Wow .. What a mark up.

[runway]

It's certainly secret squirrel with this release as to quantity of the tubes and the odds of getting the envelope privy

[Hercules]

Wait a few more years, and the unopened rolls will be worth a fortune. I reckon there will be very few left intact.

[eirrab]

I reckon the rolls have bought out another Great Aussie tradition - a gamble! To open or not open, that is the gamble.
