PNC Debate

G'day, as I see it, it's just a clever marketing ploy to induce people to pay a larger price than would otherwise be the case.
I'm not into NCLT myself, and most PNC seem to me to be one step further from reality than NCLT.
That said, I don't criticize others for pursuing their hobbies while I follow my own path.

Exactly muckeye and whats available at the moment is people putting modern coins into sometimes retro fdcs which themes do not match,some do but they are home made profiteering money making ventures and its sad that buyers pay too much for basically junk

i have purged myself of all pnc's , both geniune and fake as I see the market crashing this year

i have slowly been unloading them on ebay over the last 15 months , as I have seen the writing on the wall , because aust post refuses to deal with these fake pnc makers and aust post just keeps trying to kill the goose that lays the golden egg by producing a new pnc every month instead of just one or two a year , I have been selling pnc's for years especially many multipes of the scare / expensive ones and the prices realised have been a bit lower the last year or so , I think the pnc boom was from 2005 to 2007 and it has been down hill since then in the prices fetched on ebay

I don't think that one actually belongs to Lynn, I think she is trying to sell it on consignment and that is the price the owner wants. Very unrealistic in my opinion.

Check out this beauty on ebay its one of the rarer early issues,I copied this from ACBO forum thank you Random who supplied this information
These are the original first Australian pnc's, 28yrs before AP got into the game.
They were made by 99 company, started and owned by the person who invented PNC's

They did pnc's for nearly all the decimal change over coins around the world
In a lot of cases they were able to do the covers with the first decimal coins and stamps from each country.

The 50c one is issue #11 with the rest of the set (for each coin)goes to 16(1c)
in otherwords they are the 11-16 issue of covers produced in the world as no one else was making PNC's at that time. A very early issue
Other Australian ones were made by 99 over a few years with different date coins.
