toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 04/19/2006 05:20 am I'm satisfied that the coins are different because they have different letters on them. What gets my goat is when the Mints say they are producing a limited edition mintage of a coin set and all it is, is different packaging, same exact coin thay made thousands of. And they charge twice as much for the "limited edition". I collect coins, not packages. But, for those who do collect packages, they do make a profit because of the value of the special package set does go up. So I may be the only one who doesn't think the specials are worth collecting, LOL. The Mint mark dollar series are excellent value, and it's a good idea to collect both the Camberra mm and the Show mm of the same letter. The slight difference will make the show dollar climb in value over the years. The origional issue price is a bargain as after a few years they all seem to steadly rise in value.

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 04/19/2006 08:03 am As far as I am aware of, coins from shows/fairs have command better resale prices than the normal mass minted counterparts. Report this Post to the Staff
