The 2006 50 years of television silver proof "S" mint marked coin is listed in Maccas but not in Rennics.
Also the mintage figures are pretty strange.
Maccas list each of the "A" and "S" mintmark coins at 3,859 and yet at the bottom of that particular coin description it reads;
"A" Mintmark proof silver coins launched at the Canberra ANDA show February11-12-2006. A total of 1500 coins were released at the 2006 ANDA shows in Canberra and Sydney.

So a few questions arise from this;
1/ was the mintage figure for these coins 3859 for each of them or for both of them?

2/  was the mintage only 1500 ?

3/  Does the "S" mintmark coin actually exist?

also don't pay attention to mcdonald stuff, that book is less than impressive, I looked at the numbers for the 2012 guide and the $1 ram dollars counter stamp coin are supposedly issued at $15 each "bugger off"

I am thinking about doing a subscription newsletter email for people, that way I get paid a little for my effort and you get to be kept in the know with all the up and coming stuff also get to know stuff that others wont know, cos I don't always post stuff on here.

The 1500 coin issue was supposed to 6000 coin issue so that at the Brisbane Show 1500 coins would be issued, then at the Sydney Show another 1500 to be issued, then Melbourne Show 1500 to be issued and I am not sure where the other 1500 was to be sold.

I remember the discussion that the then Forum had where and several others was to try and get a full set, that is one from each show for our collections.   Because of the numbers on the certificate, it would be easy to ascertain what show that particular coin was issued at.

However, this idea fell through when not all coins were sold at the first show.

This is the coa that came with my "A" mintmarked coin.
From what I can ascertain there was NO "S" mintmarked coin produced.
With this one being such a low number I imagine that it was purchased originally an the Canberra show.

The 2006 50 years of television silver proof "S" mint marked coin is listed in Maccas but not in Rennics.

1/ was the mintage figure for these coins 3859 for each of them or for both of them?

2/  was the mintage only 1500 ?

3/  Does the "S" mintmark coin actually exist?

Answers to questions asked are:

1.   The original mintage was to be 6,000 and 1500 coins were to be released at each of four shows.   IE: Brisbane, Sydney Melbourne and one other show, could be Hobart.   But because not all coins were sold at the first ANDA Show, that idea fell through.   So the mintage of the "A" for ANDA ism 3859.

2.   No, the mintage was in actual fact 3859 as against a proposed issue of 6,000.

3.   No, not is Silver proof.   It does exist as an Alum Br but not silver proof.

I my qualify the above answers by saying this:   What I have said above is, from my memory bank and from past discussions on a now defunct coin forum.   I was going to buy a coin from each of the four ANDA Shows but that fell through after the first show, which, I believe was Brisbane ?   The first show was to issue coins numbered 1-1500, the second show 1501-3000 etc for the third show 3001-4500 and the fourth show 4501-6000.   This failed to eventuate.

Further, the Privy Mark "A", or Mint Mark as it was called then, was discussed to represent A = Australia or A = ANDA, and ANDA was the winner of that discussion.

Where in Maccas is the highlighted stated.   Page number please and in what issue?

Thank you Goldie , Between you and AC you have saved me a mass of fruitless searching for a coin that simply doesn't exist :yahoo:

Still these are one of the lowest mintage Silver proof $1 coins tho, off the top of my head I think the ANDA release P,C,S,M and B mint marked coins were a lesser mintage of only 2000 coins each.

this what makes collecting SOOO interesting, finding out the history regarding certain coins and how they were distributed :good:

The "P", "S", "M", "B", "C" were all Master Mint Marks for the 2010 Coinage Silver Proofs and a normal "C" Privy Mark 2010 Coinage Silver proof.
