Sydney Easter Show - 2013 Bicentenial Holy Dollar and Dump

WavyTwenty · March 20, 2013, 03:13:51 PM

Hi all,

Is anyone going to the Sydney Easter Show?

The RAM is going to be there counterstamping the 'S' 2013 Bicentennial of the Holly Dollar $1 coin. I'm not actually going this year so I can't pick any up for anyone. Is anyone else going?

OK, if no one else is going - I can go. There is a late entry ticket that costs $20 and if enough want them and no one is going, I can go and share this cost around.

Sadly I'll be 1,400km away. I wonder if they'll be any differences to those struck at ANDA later this year.

That is a good question. I have brought the S counterstamped regularly and was hoping to not do so this year. However, they are actually a nice looking coin and I again find myself sucked into wanting some.

I will definitely be going to the ANDA show.

WavyTwenty: If your going, any chance of you getting me five "S" Counters please.

If OK, PM me with bank details and monies will be deposited.

Where did you get your info re the attendance of the RAM at the Royal Easter?

I had been watching for anything from the RAM about them attending and I finally saw something from them in Facebook. Of all places Facebook!?!?!?

I'll keep watching the numbers who want them here and if there is enough interest ill go one night to pick some up.

You laugh, but the RAM is using Facebook to promote all of its 'events' lately.-John

It's also here.

Great PP - putting it up the day before it opens. I would have pre-paid for tickets to get them cheaper if I had known that it was going to be on.

Does anyone get the idea I'm a little grumbly at them?

Wavy20,

PM sent

Thanks

WavyTwenty · March 21, 2013, 11:00:18 PM

Yeah - well - by the overwhelming demand for them looks like ill be going in at some stage.

Send me a PM if you would like me to pick some up for you.

The cost will be $15 per coin and this includes registered post. I haven't actually read how much the base coin will cost and I'm assuming that it is $10 each - like its been for the last couple of years.

It also includes my entry into the show at night which is twenty dollars. I think I'll try to Ho on this Monday night, get in early and get it done. So let know quick smart.

I already have a "S" mintmarked coin from a set of 4 , How does this one differ from that coin ?

triplewitch · March 22, 2013, 10:16:43 AM

The 'S' from the set of 4 is a privy mark (in a square). The 'S' from the Royal Easter Show would be a counterstamp (in a circle).-John

No worries, looks like this will be another series like the 100 years Australian Coinage and the Rams head lot :dash1:
