Dollar coins

[lacey]

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.

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).

This is my rather long list.

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.

Geezuz, now I remember why I decided to go only with the common $1 and the main out of the 4's, as in Television, keeping the MM 'TV' only.  And that's why I am starting to list the rest for sale.  It's getting way too expensive, and I have to pay for my granny flat or we'll be out in the cold.

To be honest I didn't know about these. If you can enumerate them I will add them and most likely go about collecting them!

I see the PP list as a reference which I will refer to probably quite often. My list is in a simple spreadsheet and easily configured. I'll do some more work on this tomorrow and post an update. It's an important topic for me since the 215 coins I have cost a few bob and the ones I don't have are probably the most expensive.

I added the missing sea series and did some tidying up. Also added a Silver Proof Harbour Bridge.

Here is the revised list: Dollars Coins

I'll start going through the big list to see if I can find more errors in my list.

Here are some you are missing for 2013:

Black Caviar Coloured Coin from Card
Black Caviar From PNC - Non coloured coin
Dot The kangaroo - From baby Mint Set
Kangaroo $1 Coin from Annual Mint Set.

Please be advised that the VG Press coins, although the same, the reeding position is total different alignment between the two press.

I am still going through your list but will PM you with others that you seem to have missed.

OK thanks, I will add those. I'm going through the PP big list up to year 2000, atm and finding several coins to add. Now up to 263 coins on my list.

Does anyone know if there are 2 types of Victoria Cross from 2000? They came in the VC Folder and a PNC issue but are the coins actually different.

No, they are the same.

I know precisely how difficult it is to make a list of all ones coins.   It takes time and patience.   I scan every coin and put the scans into an excel work book.   it has taken months to do and I am still improving the work done to date.

You bet Goldseeker I have a pretty good spreadsheet for my coins as well. I do try to spend as much time with the coins rather than hunched over a keyboard like I am today. As someone said this dollar coin list I'm working on is a checklist - I'm hoping it will be finnished today. I'm up to 2004 atm and 273 coins.

I notice we have 2 flavours of S,B,M&E m/marks for the Eureka Stockade coins. I take it the portable press does not pack as much punch as the one's at the RAM?

Also, the portable press is not the same as the machine that stamped my coins at the Easter Show?

I have another 17 dollar coins in the mail so that takes my total up to 204, 27 of which are silver proofs so far :ok:

[r9453]

Nice one trout. 297 on the check list, including a couple of gold proofs. Moving on to year 2007 now. I wanna get this near sorted by this afternoon.

[r9453]

Please take a look : One Dollar Check List

There are 349 entries, including 53 silver and 6 gold. I have a couple of questions:

Is there a 2011 PNC Bush Babies Bilby? Thats one I got from :ebay: it may not even belong on the list.

In 2010 was there a Brisbane 4 coin set with different counterstamp that should be added to the 9 non-silver Australian Coinage I already have listed?

:dontknow:

It was Perth Mint and is non-standard size. Part of a series too I think.

are these all 25mm coins or are the larger PNC coins included?

[r9453]

I'm pretty sure they are all 25mm, I spent most of today cross checking here:
Australian Coin Collecting Blog - I did have 1 or 2 coins like the one mentioned above but hopefully they've been weeded out.

I was just looking at the 1940 Shilling reproduced in the 1999 Masterpieces, which has $1 denomination but its slightly smaller (23.6 like a shilling) so doesn't qualify.

Edit: There are some iffy inclusions like the so-called Shallow mintmarks from 2004 to 2007. There must be a story behind them but I don't know what it is. Also, note I have included Proof and Unc plus the Wedding Set coins described as specimen.

I have been told that the alignment is not distinguishable between the presses based on reeding
