Description: Australian $2 dollar coins collection 2012-2023 in folder 59 coin (no RED POPPY). There is NO RED POPPY in this collection. (I have placed a removable green coloured cardboard disc here to make this clear). This collection also has many of the more expensive coins in UNCIRCULATED condition. For instance the 2015 red Anzac Cove, 2015 orange Flanders Field, 2017 Napier-Waller Mosaic, 2017 Rosemary, 2018 Eternal Flame, 2018 Invictus, 2018 Armistice, 2019 Repatriation, 2019 Police, 2020 WWII, 2020 Firefighter's, 2021 Indigenous Military Service and the 2022 Honey Bee coin etc. are all uncirculated. There are 35 brand new uncirculated coins and 24 in a circulated condition in this collection. This collection is housed in the latest version (2012-2023) of the YellowMonkee Two Dollar Collector's Folder. To remove all ambiguity, and to make things easier for buyers, I will only classify coins as either strictly uncirculated or circulated. (I will not con buyers by using a subjective aUNC definition, which 'kinda means it's a nice circulated one'. Coins from bags and, preferably, rolls are uncirculated. Coins that come from change are circulated. End of.) The circulated coins in this collection have not been damaged, do not contain any green patches of corrosion, and are in good condition. The uncirculated coins have been sourced from RAM collector's rolls, or in the case of those released through Woolworths from RAM bags. The best way of assessing the quality of the coins is to examine the photographs carefully. These are really the best item description. This is EXACTLY the set of coins you will receive. The following coins are contained in this collection of 59 coins:- 2012 Gold Poppy - circulated 2013 Coronation - circulated 2014 Green Dove - circulated 2015 Anzac Cove - UNC 2015 Flanders Field - UNC 2016 Changeover - circulated 2016 Rio Olympics x5 - circulated 2016 Rio Paralympics - circulated 2017 Napier-Waller Mosaic - UNC 2017 Possum Magic x3 - 1 x UNC, 2 x circulated 2017 Rosemary - UNC 2018 Eternal Flame - UNC 2018 Brisbane Commonwealth Games x3 - circulated 2018 Invictus - UNC 2018 Armistice - UNC 2019 Mr Squiggle - circulated 2019 Repatriation - UNC 2019 Police - UNC 2019 Rugby - circulated 2019 T20 Cricket - circulated 2020 WWII - UNC 2020 Firefighters - UNC 2021 Indigenous Military Service - UNC 2020 Tokyo Olympics x5 - UNC 2020 Tokyo Paralympics - UNC 2021 Wiggles x 4 - UNC 2021 Ambulance Serices - UNC 2021 Aboriginal flag - UNC 2022 Frontline Workers - UNC 2022 Honey Bee - UNC 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games x3 - UNC 2022 Peacekeeping - UNC 2022 Socceroos - UNC 2023 Vegemite x3 - circulated 2023 Matildas x3 - UNC. Please note - In order to protect the coins I wore cotton gloves at all times when handling these coins. All coins retrieved from circulation will exhibit fingerprint damage sooner or later. Usually this is masked by the natural toning of the coins as they age. I would be very happy to answer any questions regarding these coins. This set would make a great entry level collection, or as a means of introducing children to the principles of coin collecting. (Please note:- 49 coins @ $5 each = $245 2013 Coronation circ = $45 2014 Green Dove circ = $25 8 coins @ $10 each = $80 Cost of folder = $25 eBay fee of 16% = $65 TOTAL VALUE = $540 Please compare with other eBay prices.) Your collection will be packed carefully into a gift box, and sent via Australia Post in a large satchel with tracking, and a signature required for delivery. (Big hint for all buyers - to assess the quality of ANY $2 collection offered for sale first find a single photo showing all the coins together. Zoom in and look at the bottom two rows of coins on the right-hand side. These are the newest coins and should have the most lustre or shine. Now look at the top two rows on the left, and move down the left-hand side. If these are uncirculated or aUNC they should have the same shine as the bottom two rows on the right. The 2016 Changeover coin is particularly telling - because of the large flat areas in its field even lightly circulated examples of this look relatively worn. You should now be able to tell roughly the condition of the coin set you are purchasing. If the coins are not in a folder find a photograph showing all the coins together. Remember too that if you are sent something that doesn't match the pictures, or the item description, then you get a full refund. NO cost to you, and NO arguments. EBay's rules. Be wary of anyone that won't show you an actual photo, or who says that the photos are just generic. You want to SEE what you are buying.) A quick note on prices :- I try to keep costs to a minimum. However, with a large collection like this, the price per coin need only rise by 50c (or $12 per roll or bag) for the collection to be worth $30 more. How many coins should be in a collection? Happily for buyers, there are now a wide range of $2 collections offered for sale, in a variety of formats. The question is, which one to buy and how many coins should there be in a collection? Whilst the final choice is a matter of personal preference, it is useful to know just how many $2 coins the RAM has released. 1. There are67 coinswhich have been released into general circulation, either directly through the Royal Australian Mint, Woolworths or the Anaconda stores. 2. There are75 coinsif we now include the NCLT (Non-Circulating Legal Tender) coins. These are coins minted for the collector market, and include such things as the Indigenous Infant coins (from the RAM baby sets) and the five Tooth Fairy coins. 3. There are77 coinsif you now add in the C mintmark 2022 Red Poppy and the C mintmark 2023 Anniversary of the Vietnam War coin. In both instances there was no corresponding non-C-mint marked coin, and so this was the only way to obtain these designs. 4. There are a grand total of122 coinsIf you include all of the C-mint marks, plus the 2018 30th Anniversary folder and the 2023 35th Anniversary folder. Please note that these are just numbers. A perfectly respectable coloured $2 coin collection might be just those with sport themes. Part of the fun of coin collecting is picking a theme and then gradually adding to it. All of our collections are, after all, works in progress. Copyright- pitau26 23/8/24. Last updated 8/11/2024.
