PNC king I really don't believe that we can relate this latest Mule to the Medical Corp Issue. We always knew what the Medical Corp mintage was, and we knew that the 50c Coin was nothing special, merely a re-strike. The reason that the Med Corp is now selling at a reduced value is because the Dealers and Profiteers got in early and created an artificial shortage, which in turn created an unrealistic selling price on
ebay.
It may be many years before we have a reasonably accurate mintage figure for the 2005 Mule, but judging by the way they are only now starting to trickle on to
ebay I would say that the Downies figure may well be close to the mark.
