The call to the Darkside is strong!!! U.S. Knights and Knightessess MUST have that coin to feed their addiction! Of course, some of us NEED the silver as well!
I will have to start working on some of the older dollars as I have most of the recent issues in every mint mark in uncirculated condition. I still find it amazing how many mint marks Australia issues each year but it does make for a more challenging and attractive set.
WILL THERE BE A 2008 PROOF MOB OF ROOS??? THATS MY #1 DESIRE FROM DOWN UNDER!!!

Yes, there is a MoR for 2008, but you may have to get it in one of the mint sets. Dunno if it will circulate or not.

Already available. I called into my dealer today and was told that the release would not be until end January for the UNCs and proof.

I really like it. Just checked today and my Dansco Album for $1 coins is still on back order. Once I get it, and get it filled, I'll be caught on on all the decimal denominations. Whoops, wait a minute. It is 2008 now isn't it?!  |

Well the Australian "Coat of Arms" both in silver and bronze are resting comfortably in two Indiana homes this morning. It was a long trip but they made it safely to the Hoosier state!

My pair arrived today too! One Silver COA and the Scouting 50 cents.  Certificate # 3501! They're beautiful, although for some reason I was expecting the silver coin to be bigger... I guess I always forget just how small diameter-wise the dollar coins are. |

I have the huge proof silver MOB of ROOS that came out of a special set a few years back. Boy is it a sight to behold. I couldn't believe my luck when I found an Australian dealer who had busted the set open and I bought that coin very very cheap! No danger of any of my silver Mob of Roos making the trip back to Australia! Don't know the actual mintage figures but I have never seen another one offered on Ebay since!

If so, I presume it was from the 2004 Masterpiece in Silver set which was produced to celebrate 20 years of the Australian Dollar. The mintage limit was 18,000 sets, but the ACTUAL mintage was 8,250 (according to McDonalds guidebook). |

I have all three including the Silver Coloured Proof.
I have viewed and taken pictures of this coin, but not of them is even close to the brilliance this coin has and the shaprness of colours.

Tobyle, I assume it was out of the 2004 set but would have to dig it out as I am not certain at this time. Does Macca give a price for these coins as singles? If the mintage is just a little over 8,250 sets then I have got a great coin!

The set itself is listed as CV $210, but unfortunately, no price listings for the individual coins. So far, I only have the scalloped shaped MOR from that set.
