I am going to have to quit reading this section, because I see these pictures of coins and get the burning to own them and my wife is going to end up either killing me or the computer if I don't stop buying coins. (http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/basic/cloud9.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Post by: ElleKitty on October 13, 2007, 12:13:55 PM: I opted for the Uncirculated set, rather than the Mint set. I didn't get the dollar coin, but I did get this one. :D Terry, you will be most pleased to know that my set has the ROOS on the dollar. ;)

No, this coin is not issued for circulation. It's only available in the Lifesaver proof set.

I am closing in on finishing my 20 and 50 Cent Piece sets. Then, I'll start in on the other decimal denominations.

Hi Miss Kitty,

In Oz us use 'uncirculated' and 'mint' to describe the same basic (cheapest) set.
We use 'Proof' to describe the deluxe finished (expensive) sets.

Thank you for your kind offer. I am awaiting the arrival of a package from Gregk, and when it arrives I will know better what I still need.

By the way, two packages are on their way to you -- one with your wooden dollars, and the other with your prize coin for winning my contest.

Hope they arrive soon.

:) :) :) :)

Post by: Tobyle on October 29, 2007, 08:35:57 PM: Muckeye made mention of our 'mint' and 'proof' sets. We also have the inbetween version in the 'gem uncirculated' coins in our Wedding sets. RAM started producing these in 2003.
