crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 567 Posts	Posted 11/29/2024 12:29 am Had to start a thread of its own for these coins. Any one rate this set highly? The mintage was in the 2022-23 annual report, nothing extra in the 2023-24 report. Not to say that they won't amend figures in future reports as has happened before., but unlikely? $25 at release.

SallyG Valued Member Australia 286 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 02:19 am Wow! I bought a couple when they first came out. They were gifts for kids. Out of curiosity I just checked ebay and those same $25 kits are selling for $200+ ! That is nuts! The kits themselves are just junk and the coins are of interest due to the commemorative obverse. But $200+? Why? The AFL sets are going for less than the original price. It will be interesting to see if Annaconda bother with another year of NRL sets too. What is it that sees some 'junk' sets more popular than others? If the Creatures of the deep are so popular, would RAM try to cash in and release another version next year (instead of AFL/NRL/Big Things/alphabet junk)? Hmm, popcorn at the ready.

Why? Yes, no way my lunch would fit in that. The mintage figures released are the reason for the huge jump in price. One seller is stating the fact that the $2 coin has way less mintage than the 2020 tooth fairy coin.Which is still selling @ over $200. Report this Post to the Staff

crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 567 Posts	Posted 12/14/2024 03:32 am I would think that the $2 collectors would be all over this set, only 7142 (Memorial type ), maybe the craze is dwindling fast, too many too soon? I am struggling to keep up myself. Edited by crab eater 12/14/2024 03:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

I have again questioned the RAM about the mintage figures they release in their annual report. Sent them an email on 29/11/24. There was no mention of the 'In Memorial ' 50cent PNC 2023 in either the 2022-23 or 2023-24 report. They replied on 7/1/25 Said it was in the 2023-24 report which read; year product Qty Mintage code 50 cent Uncirculated - PNC " 2024 11575 10300 Unlimited This was to me obviously wrong as the coin was dated 2023 and had a mintage of 'no more than 9500' on the PNC. So I again requested them to take a further look into it. Got a reply today . Quote: FW: [SEC=OFFICIAL] Inbox info 1:19#8239;PM (2 hours ago) to me, info Dear ....... We have investigated your query further and have identified that this information was incorrectly published in the 2023/24 Annual Report. We will make a remuneration and document it in the Mint's 2024/25 Annual Report. Thank you, Royal Australian Mint 2023 International winners: Most Artistic Coin, Best Circulating Coin & Innovative Coin 2023 National Gold winner for best cultural destination and ACT people's choice for favourite attraction Denison Street, Deakin ACT 2600 ramint.gov.au So what it boils down to is that the mintage of the 'Memorial ' 50 cent is more than the 7102 that all other 'Memorial 'coins are. Possibly 16602? Have to wait for the corrected mintage. Report this Post to the Staff
SallyG Valued Member Australia 286 Posts	Posted 03/25/2025 05:07 am Hey Crab Eater, the RAM are going to make a "remuneration" for their stuff up? Hope they make it something substantial. Good work on your behalf. I think it is really sad that we can't rely on the RAM to provide ACCURATE and FACTUAL information about mintage figures. It makes me wonder are they incompetent or dishonest? Why can't they, or why don't they, get it right? What is the benefit to them? Maybe deliberately trying to inflate values of certain coins?
