Coin Collectors' Corner

@Harmonium I am currently in the emergency waiting room afterwards being transported by ambulance for gallstone issues. I also have a collection of $1 silver coins in my collection. Here are a few examples.

I have 24 Silver Proof $1 coins.

@tyme Good morning lovely how are you? Would be cool to see a coin time capsule.

You got anything in today?

How are you feeling @Mustang67 ??? Sorry to hear about your ED trip!

@Harmonium ! Thanks for the pics! Are coin capsules hard plastic? I got some plastic ones from the Mint when I stamped my $1 coins. I didn't realise that's what they were called. I then had a few bendy plastic coin 'capsules' in my handbog but ended up chucking them out because I wasn't going to use them.

The ones I have are like the ones in @Mustang67 's photo above.

@tyme I am much better thank you. Once the gallstone gets itself unstuck from the bile duct, the pain goes away instantly. Unfortunately it was stuck from 1am until 6pm before it finally released, or the pain killers finally kicked in. I had the green whistle in the Ambulance and that didn't even get rid of all the pain. It just reduced the severity of it.

Two new coins are being released on 6th November and the Ballot is currently open to see if your lucky enough to have a chance of purchasing them. The Coins are:

2025 ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin in Card – 80 Years On: Remembering the Second World War $22.50

2025 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin – 80 Years On: Remembering the Second World War $90.00

Here is some information about the coins

80 Years On: Remembering the Second World War

More than twenty years after the guns fell silent on the Western Front in November 1918, war again broke out on a global scale. This war, the Second World War, proved to be the deadliest in human history. Close to 40,000 Australians lost their lives, and with the bombing of Darwin in February 1942, the Australian mainland came under attack for the first time.

On 1 September 1939, Germany’s invasion of Poland set the Second World War into motion. Two days later, Australian Prime Minister Robert Gordon Menzies followed Britain’s lead and declared that Australia was at war with Germany.

Almost one million Australians served in the Second World War, joining the war effort primarily in the Mediterranean and the Middle East in 1940 and 1941, and increasingly in the Pacific after Japan entered the war in December 1941. Women served as well, with women’s branches of the Army, Navy and Air Force established in 1941.

By the time the war came to an end in September 1945, close to 40,000 Australians had lost their lives in the course of their service.

In honour of the courageous Australians who served in the Second World War, the Royal Australian Mint presents these coins. The coins features a wreath of red poppies – an enduring symbol of remembrance in Australia and other Commonwealth nations. Surrounded by sculpted leaves, the eight poppies in the wreath represent the eight decades that have passed since the most devastating war in human history.

If you don't want to be included in coin information, please just let me know 😊

@Mustang67 ooohhh how cool are they. I love being included here, I may not always reply but please feel free to tag me here whenever 😊.

Also loved all the coins you won the other day, well done ❤️

Thanks @MissGremlin I couldn't believe I won so many coins. I am super excited to receive them. I am currently busy updating my coin spreadsheet and data base with the new coins. And adding other coins that I have won in coin dips lately.

I won this the other day in what they call a redemption dip. So if you miss out on winning in dips on their page, your name goes onto the wheel and you get second chance at winning either gold or silver bullion.
