chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 10:25 am Here is your birthday present. Well, you would have to buy it, I suppose. And this http://www.coinnews.net/2010/01/05/...ian-coinage/ is the article that the image came with, so to say. The design does not look bad, but I wish they had picked coins from different periods of time, instead of monarchs, to symbolize that time span ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff

RareSov Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 01/11/2010 06:02 am LOL ! almost ! :P Point of note with this coin. Be on the lookout for struck through oil coins. They could be coming. I have some gallery press coins coming from people who went and visited the RAM.. and someone has already posted a picture with strange oil affected looking border on a coin from lets call it "press A" while the coin from the other press was fine. I hope I get one of these in mine. I will now buy many more rolls (20) from the mint than I originally intended (3) if mint wrapped rolls come. I will then open at least one, and hopefully there are some completely blank or almost completely blank coins in there from a major struck through error :D Report this Post to the Staff
RareSov Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 01/11/2010 06:08 am I think the design is superb and I like it the more I look at it Now think.. don't most of us neglect the obverse image a bit in our coins ? since the reverse on many many coins have such spectacular images.. from the Pennies and Canberra florin through all the circulation designs.. we probably ignore the obverse a little when admiring them. I know I have. Those are great portraits and look nice together Report this Post to the Staff
latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 01/11/2010 10:38 pm I don't think these will come in rolls. None of the other mint mark series coins have. Edited by latman100 01/11/2010 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
