Australian one dollar UNC collection

[Rusty]

Well it took all day and several failed upload attempts, but it is finally ready. 
Following is my $1 Aussie UNC collection. These are circulation coins and NCLT coins, and have all come from mint sets and envelopes as applicable. Please enjoy.









It is interesting to note that since the introduction of the Australian one dollar coin in 1984, there has been 23 years go past, but there has been 108 different coins issued in the same timeframe, not including die varieties, 16 coming from this year, 2007, alone. It is a wonderful hobby that we indulge in eh. Cheers.

Rusty,

As I've said before, that is one fine collection and now nicer with the newer coins

[Madspec]

Great set of coins, I especially like the painted coins(which I do not usually like) they really set them off.

Can you imagine the confusion in the US if there were that many dollar coins each year, I guess that starting in 2009 there will be 8 for us though, 4 presidents and 4 Sacs.

Wisht I hadna seen that, now I have to get one of the dolphin coins for my dolphin collector.

[CoinCrusader42]

I had two of the Dolphin coins -- one for my wife and one for our daughter.  They really like them.

As soon as I complete my 50 and 20 Cent Piece collection, I think I'll start on the dollars.  Eventually I hope to have a collection similar to that posted above.

My Australian collection wouldn't amount to much if it wasn't for Triggersmob, muckeye, and especially Gregk!!

That's very impressive Rusty. I don't think I've seen them all together before.

You may not realise the difficulty of putting together a set like this at this time CC42.

I think I've missed the boat putting together a dollar set like this. If one was a dollar collector from the start and kept at it then a set like this would be feasible. To do it at this stage so long after release with the price increases some coins have gone through would be extremely expensive. The 2000 VC goes for around $200 alone. That's the sort of price a bullion sovereign goes for. Then again better to start now than in 10 years time. That would hurt!

Excellent set Rusty.

I also collect the dollar series you will have more to add next year.....a few more.

[Rusty]

Bm,
As there are only 3 spaces left, I will get a new blank album and pages to continue the set, as it is getting too thick now. I look forward to seeing any new ones for 2008. Cheers.

these pages are from a dansco album

[CoinCrusader42]

Great collection.

However it does look as though I'll have to be a bit more selective when it comes to putting togerther a dollar collection.

I'm still looking for a way to get a Dansco Dollar Album.

According to a notice just received, the long-awaited Dansco Album is on its way to me.

Looking at, and admiring, Rusty's collection once again, I do believe I'll have to specialize my album once it arrives, and collect far fewer coins than the collection posted at the beginning of this thread.

I just got my Dansce $1 and $2 albums. I have a few of the $1 coins already. I didn't realize there were so many coins released each year. I'm going to have to buy at least two more pages to start off with. Do the colorized coins circulate or are they only for sets?

[Nevol]

Colorized coins do not circulate & most aren't even in Sets, or to qualify that, they're not in Mint/Proof sets.  They may be part of sets, as in a six coin set that was a "fishy'' type theme.  6 coins issued in 3 pairs over a period of time, all NCLT or as you folks know it NIFC.  A lot of them are "one of a kind" issues.

By Collector Coins Only, I mean that any $1 coins minted in these years did not go into circulation.  They may well have been available for purchase as individual coins and in Mint/Proof Sets, but did not go into general circulation.

[CoinCrusader42]

As I explained in another thread, I took the easy way out, and used my new Dansco One Dollar Album to put together a year set.  Then, on the last page of the album I placed coins with different reverses than I used in the year set.

My set is nothing like Rusty's, but I am pleased with it.

I'm an avid Aussie dollar collector and have to have every type there is of the standard circulating size of 25mm - be it circulating, non-circulating, FRUNC, specimen, proof, silver, gold, coloured, variety, etc. Packaging is not such an issue for me though.

Below is a list of dollar coins by year, designer, theme, issue, finish, metal, variety and mintage. I'll start with the coins of the 1980s first, all struck at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.

Note: For 93, 94 & 95, it is unknown at this time if the above C Mintmark mintage figures include the Mint Your Own coins on the RAM Visitors Gallery press or if the other Mintmark mintages include or are for the coins struck at the Shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne respectively. The odd number for the Silver Proofs are the extra few coins struck for the RAM Museum Collection.
