gxseries Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Just minted *VERY* recently, as I am speaking of, the coins that I have were just minted in a matter of hrs after I typed this out. I have seen these coins minted MANUALLY right in front of my eyes! The link is as follows: Link Price of the coin and packaging is around 2.5USD, and postage from here to anywhere is just 2USD. (paypal users will have to add an extra 50 cents ) But nevertheless, I will be taking pictures and video footage of the coin striking if possible (I got their permission) and I will be going back tomorrow to get some. You will be receiving them too if I managed to get them. I have some of them already striked beforehand, as in, what you see on the Australian mint homepage (coin and packaging) and I have about 10 of those. However, if you really want "ULTRA" fresh striked coins, because you would know when they are striked (as in the exact time and date); please kindly reply here that you are interested. Note, I might have to charge slightly higher because there is a limit to how many I can order at once. But yes, I will record down the specific time and date of when exactly the coins will be striked. Note that there will not be any fancy packaging, just the coin itself. Hurry!!! I only have today and tomorrow to get a list of people!!! I will try to reserve at least 5 of these coins but note that they are pretty difficult to do. If I happen to run out of these coins... I can offer you what the mint is offering at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 OOPS, how silly of me, I forgot to add that the observe side has already been prepared (as in the Queen Elizabeth side), and the reverse will be the one that is going to be struck manually. But still, a very time consuming job... (Edit: I failed miserably - it is the mint mark that is going to be added in...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Were the G mintmark, for Gallipolli actually struck at Gallipolli as one would be led to believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Actually, it's a S mark, to show that it is minted in Sydney. The reason why Australia is minting such commemorative coins is to commemorate some of the soldiers who died there in WWI. Pretty interesting. There is going to me 2 other mintmarks if I am not wrong, but yes, I will be witnessing the minting of such coins right in front of my eyes.

gxseries Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Silly me , I was definately tired yesterday. Here is the full article about it: Appearently, what was done is that the mintmark "S" is struck at the coin fair. So... if you are still interested, I will be sending the coin(s). I apologize for my awful silly mistake, it just happened that I took a brief look at it and had to run out as I had other things to do. Nevertheless, I will be purchasing some for interested people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMcDoo Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm really confused. What is on the reverse of these coins? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 It is a countermark "S" which was struck here in Sydney. What's great is that I witnessed it first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
