Yes, I was there for most of both days, volunteering at the coin club display. Quote:

Both RAM and Perth released unsold Brisbane ANDA coins on their websites respectively. Unlike last year, it took a few days before they put them on the sites and sold out really quickly. Besides, RAM ANDA $5 dollars is so lame from my point of view. and the Perth Mint just want to make more quick and easy money. |

At $55 bucks each, no wonder they only minted 2000 of them. They were $45 at the show, not $55. I bought one as part of my "Queensland coins" collection and the design looks nice enough, but personally, I'd have liked to have seen it in silver; the oxidized al-bronze treatment they've given it doesn't really work for me. I was talking to one of the Mint reps; they said they'd melt down any that were unsold after 10 days. I don't know how many were leftover at show's end, but I'm assuming dealers will snaffle them all up before the deadline.

I get the impression that there were quite a few of us at the show, maybe we need a CCF hat or something so we can identify ourselves.
It is nice to be able to put a face to a name.
(also CCF needs a grammar check as well as the spell checker. My posts are terrible.)

My reason for going was to get the $1 Wheat Sheaf "B" Counterstamp coin. I also bought the 2nd Edition of Renniks Aust Pre-Decimal Coin Varieties bu Ian McConnelly. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

The old Aussie coins forum had a pin that members could wear to recognise each other when they were at coin shows. Perhaps a similar thing could be done for members here?
