Dollar coins

trout · April 25, 2013, 11:12:10 AM

I just had another look in my Maccas book and you are right, the large head coin in silver proof IS only available with the 20 note pack.:ok:
Which is a pain in the arse because I don't really collect banknotes :dash1:

I can't believe I forgot about this coin, I only spotted it while eBay noodling.

The dollars in those sets are always really crappy. Whatever they did to apply that hologram wasn't thought out very well.

QuoteI have a feeling your area is now the third largest silver mine in the Country.

I have a feeling there is a large reserve of copper in the well in trout's backyard. Would need substantial refining to eliminate all the green and black.

Thanks PP, you just knocked the wind clean out of my sails:fie:

Anyway crappy or not I still need it to help complete my $1 collection ( a bit like them crappy 1oz ken done and Rolf harris coins :dash1:)

Yeah exactly and I don't think that's a bad price.

No worries PP I think I have about 30-40 coins to go and I will have a complete set.
I only got serious with these a couple of years ago and I am really enjoying the thrill of the hunt :dance2:
Amazing little buggers the $1 coins:yahoo:

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='12867' dateline='1366782432'If my records are correct Trout, you should end up with 35 Proof Silver $1 coins of 25 mm diameter and 233 Alum Br $1 coins.

Does anyone have a list? I have one (consists of 232 coins, only 9 silver) but its incomplete. It's compiled by trawling eBay and adding coins as I went. Also, I haven't included proof coins because they are usually the same as the Mint Sets. If I include the proofs then my list would be similar in size at least to Goldseeker's records.

Here is my List of Dollar Coins - errors and omissions welcome. Incidentally I have about 215.

rob , in the ocean series , I think you have 4 of them ,

Thanks Kel, I'm time-strapped and on my ipad, ATM. I will update tomorrow and re-post the link. Also, if proofs are to be included I should add the coins frm the Wedding Sets.

purplepennyhunter · May 21, 2013, 05:44:45 PM

This is my rather long list.

1 dollars

Your list does not show the early Portable press $1 coins or don't you collect them? (They appear to be the same as the heavy press but after close examination, they can be identified).

1 dollars

May I suggest you edit your list by adding a first column for Coin Number. That way one can advise you that you are missing something easier or a particular coin should not be in your list. Further, your list has a Medallion Issue in it.

Your list does not only show the standard 25 mm Alum br coins but larger diameters as well and proofs. It is a bit hard to work out precisely what you have. Would be much easier if you provided a numbered list of 25mm coins, silver/alum br proofs etc.

PPH's list isn't intended to be a check list and doesn't include any medals, Perth Mint coins, and only includes silver proofs if they were also minted in AlBr and are 25mm.
