Coin Collectors' Corner

Who knows @Mustang67 ? Anyway, I have a work colleague who got the first bluey coin set a while back...

So maybe it IS fair?

Meh, I'm not concerned.

Hi @Mustang67 @tyme @Chasingsunsets @Harmonium @rav3n @Snowie @Shaz51 and all coin collection fans here.

Thanks for all of the different coin posts @Mustang67 @Chasingsunsets and others. I’ve really enjoyed reading them and loved the different coins you have posted.

As for the Bluey coins, I’m sorry for those that missed out on getting one of them. I however, was lucky in the EQL ballot and managed to get the gold Christmas bluey coin, despite only registering for the ballot on Monday night when I was on holiday in Bendigo, Victoria. I found out on Wednesday morning when I was checking my emails on a cruise on the Murray River in Echuca and was very happy with the result. My housemate missed out and was very annoyed along with many others who also missed out. I’ve since looked at Facebook and eBay and can’t believe how many coins people managed to get in the ballot, with one person registering 19 different email addresses and getting all coins in the ballot which I didn’t like. There really needs to be a crack down on people registering for these items and only being able to list one email address and phone number in order to make the coin collection system fairer for everyone. I do know there is a huge demand for all things Bluey, especially in the USA, and the coins were limited to Australian addresses only but I can just imagine the price people will put on the 2 coins, with the silver coin being limited and the most valued out of the 2 coins offered. Already on eBay, I’ve seen the gold coin being offered for at least $60- $80 minimum but I’ve heard that the price will likely go down once the hype of Christmas is over. I’ve also got the Bluey coins from last year as well. I don’t plan on selling them at this point in time but may do so if I need the cash later on in my life. What do you think of the way the Bluey ballot was run? Can it be run a better or fairer way?

Enjoy your coin collecting!

@Judi9877 I am not sure if they go by the delivery address or not, but it should be one per household. But I suppose if they are desperate enough, they will just register under families or friends addresses. I saw the Bluey coins for sale on Ebay the day before they were released. So not sure how that could happen. I ended up buying 2, but one was for a friend and the other one is for a Christmas present. I am not interested in adding one to my collection.

Congratulations on winning the ballot 😊

I hope you enjoyed your holiday. I can't think of anything better than cruising along the Murray River. The river is my happy place. All I need is a deck chair and a cold bottle of wine.

I purchased two more Silver Bullion Coins yesterday, just for the simple fact that I liked the seahorses. Plus to helps to grow my daughter's inheritance. I can't even display any of my coins to enjoy them, which is a bit of a downer. But it is, what it is.

I love the sea horses @Mustang67 !!! Nice one! 👏

I found the coins, they were at mums house in the one box she has of mine 😂. Ah well my room got a very good clean out looking for something that wasn’t there lol🤭😂.

Just waiting on pics and will share when I am off nightshifts when I am on the forum a bit more 😊

@Chasingsunsets I am so glad that you found them.

I look forward to seeing your pictures.

And well done with your room clean out.

I am so fricken excited. I entered a coin dip on a social media platform. I purchased 3 numbers at $10 each and I won this coin. I have just had a look on at the selling prices and it ranges between $189.00 to $225.00. With $225.00 being the price from the majority of the stores are selling it for.

This has made my night. It feels good to finally have something go my way.
