2008 Coat of Arms 'C' Mintmark Dollar Coin

[Hermit]

Thought I would break mine out of the folder for a photography session. Comes with complementary bag marks, brown spots and funny shape rim. Apart from that it's fine.

The next coin in the Coat of Arms series is the Sydney S counterstamp from the portable press. Nice coin this one. Mirror like GEM uncirculated. The target mintage was only 16,000.

Nice.....waiting on 5 to arrive in mail.  Hope they will arrive today

My "S" privy marks arrived in the mail today. That's the one with the square around the S.

The font appears to be more bold on the reverse an IMO looks nicer.

B privy mark for Brisbane.

Picked up a couple of "B" counterstamp coins at the ANDA Show in Brisbane.

Will try and scan them to post here.

What a great weekend......cost me a a few dollars but I am happy.

They tell me it was a long wait in line to get the counterstamp coins. I had a mate fly down to visit the show and waited 90 minutes in line! Then they only allowed 3 at a time.

The Brisbane counterstamp would be one of the lowest mintage $1 coins with less than 4000. Be interesting to know just how many. I managed to buy one from Oztion over the weekend. You see them slowly popping up on Ebay too but not at the same rate the Sydney counterstamp did.

That is correct Hermit,  1 1/2 hour turnaround and only 3 issued to each person.  If you wanted more you had to line up for another hour and a half.

I saw a woman go around a number of times all day (she did not see anything else of the show) and she only manged to get a total of 18 coins in 6 hours.

Sunday they only had 400 left and that ran out around lunch time.  Total of 4000 issued including dealer purchases.   
Already going for $30 on ebay.

Out of range for this little black duck.
Lood luck to those who managed to get some.
