Sydney Easter Show - 2013 Bicentenial Holy Dollar and Dump

[Australian coin]

o trout'y you haven't read my site page have you!
haha quick and simple coins that come in a 4 coin set are PRIVY marks and the letter on the coin is on a square -
a counter stamp is a stamp applied after the coin had been made and is surrounded by a circle.
I will find a pic for you

ok here is a pic with all the stuff you may see, note the bluebell counter stamp was for a event, and picture variety's are rarely seen I think the only other one was the tiny kangaroo one for 2009 master mintmark

ok so you can see the Canberra mintmark was part of the die and is stamped as one piece when the coin was made. the letter is rised

then you have privy marks, they are also part of the die and are stamped as one piece when the coin was made. the square is raised with an incused letter

then you have counter stamps, these are added to the coin after it has been made, so the mint make coins with just the normal design but with no lettering marks, then at a event/ANDA you get to coin presses a letter into the coin - thus making a counter stamp, the letter is a incused circle with a raised letter

I hope I have covered it

Yes :dance2:
My collections went from absolute Chaos to complete order, Due mainly to the fact that I have them all (well nearly all)  in 2x2 albums clearly marked .
I also have started to use excell as a data base so that I know what I have.
A simple matter of looking at the data base and pulling out the one dollar coins album and looking at 2009 coins and hey presto:yahoo:
It has taken me about 5 months to get to this stage and is an ongoing project :ok:

[Australian coin]

I ENVY YOU
I wish I was that organised, I have albums with coins in date order, but I don't know what album is what

[interest]

I see that this has a mintage of 20,000,
I wonder if that figure will include the Sydney ANDA?
There is nothing on the folder to indicate that this is specifically for the Royal Easter Show.

isn't it odd that the mintage numbers correspond with the average die life:dodgy:
I would imagine that ALL these counter stamp coins are ALREADY minted and a few extras are created by the technician at the show.

Ok - I have orders for 10 of these and are getting them today. If you want me to get some for you, you better let me know quick smart.

wow 20,000 WTF it will be worth nothing, the p one I checked and it has mintage 5,000
I guess that the are using the s packaging for Sydney ANDA, so that's 5,000 of the bat but do they really think they are going to sell 15,000 at the Easter show?

[WavyTwenty]

The coins were only $5 each.  I'm not sure where I got the idea that they were $10 each - I seem to premember a previous one being this much.  Anyway, I'll PM you with the final cost for those who let me know that you wanted some.
