O.K got the email from RAM today about the upcoming ballot. Wednesday 17/1/24.  Surely not every new coin will be by ballot now? |

If this ballot system actually works then it might be a good thing that all future releases are conducted using it. If the bots and unscrupulous dealers are thwarted by it then that has to be a good thing. It would also be really good to see those ebay sellers who seem to get early access to each new release get stopped too. It's going to be interesting to watch and see what happens. Popcorn at the ready  |

The EQL ballot system worked in my favour when frustrated with all other coin dealer websites on release day, only option for me was to register with EQL through the Wynyards ballot using this company on the day.  Lucky for me I was a ballot winner and will try my luck again through the RAM ballot as well. Quote:

Aussies will still be able to buy coins in person at the mint, over the phone and through registered agents.' https://www.news.com.au/finance/mon...9edb673cb7b7 |

Luck was on my side today as I am a ballot winner of this set.  Was getting coins to noodle at the bank and my balance was down a couple of hundred dollars ,then I knew I must have been a ballot winner. Confirmed by email when I got home.  |

Congratulations crab eater, kicked two goals! Sounds like the ballot system works smoothly and without all the stress of waiting in line or phoning repeatedly. Good on the Mint for finally adopting a ballot system too. Hope future releases will be as easy and stress-free too.

Better luck to you next time Basil. EQL also ran a ballot for Wynyards with the release of the 2024 Perth Mint silver kangaroo dollar ,the first with King Charles. |

Finally received the set from RAM . Really disappointed regarding the quality of the coins. Most have 'Bag Marks' or should I say 'DENTS' on the face of the coins. Poor quality all around.  I would like a refund actually.  A total waste of money due to the lack of quality control exhibited from RAM.  |
