Firefighters $2

gweidion · October 09, 2020, 12:33:44 AM

Later in October will see the releases of the following coins:
2020 $2 Firefighters Circulating Coin Roll
2020 $2 AlBr Coloured 'C' mintmark Coin - Firefighters
2020 $2 AlBr Coloured Coin in Card - Firefighters (no mintmark)

and

2021 Year Sets will start to be released on the 29th October

I think it is going to be a costly month.

Hm, and no coin swaps to get the new $2.

gweidion · October 09, 2020, 12:23:04 PM

yep, dealers make a mint, no pun intended.

Mister T · October 17, 2020, 08:13:44 AM

So it will be a standard circulating coin I suppose?

2020 $2 AlBr Coloured Coin in Card - Firefighters (no mintmark)

Received mine from the RAM earlier this week.

Looks like the non-mintmark coin is on the RAM site again but not shipping until mid December.

I got a pleasant surprise today. At the end of last week I had a catalogue turn up for latest offerings from a major coin distributor. It included the Firefighters RAM roll for $99 (plus postage) although their website had been saying out of stock for some time.
Duly filled in my details mailing it off and expecting to be told "Out of stock" but no, they emailed me accepting my order giving me an order number and saying they would process my credit card payment.
That makes me quite happy because there was no way I was paying $200+ for a roll on greedbay.
I'll have to deal with this company by mail more frequently.

Wow, that's the sort of deal I've been looking for.
Which coin company is it?

gweidion · November 23, 2020, 09:31:03 AM

D*wnies surprisingly. Had to get an issue with the credit card fixed but it is all good now.

Ok, I have checked their website a few times hopefully,
but they never show any.

Yes exactly. It seems like they have (had) a supply put aside for mail order customers. I get their catalogue posted to me once in a while and when it wasn't saying "sold out" I tried my luck.

So my $99 Firefighters coin roll turned up from D*wnies today and I was surprised to find that the RAM roll now comes with a holographic foil seal like you see on the C*tt*n and C* rolls.

How long has RAM been doing that? It certainly wasn't on the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII roll.
