New 2015 $2 coin being released this monday, red colored coin ????

Thanks bloomst

makes sense need something to prove where they came from.

 

I ordered my first 5 pack bag late last week. It hasn't arrived yet so I'll wait to see if I get plain or special packaging.

Also if anyone didn't see it - the limit is one bag per order. I tested it out and ordered a second 5 pack a couple of days later which also went through.

Not the most efficient process of buying multiple bags of coins though.

 

so do the new bags have RAM on them somewhere?

thanks !!

 

Yes, its a printed with RAM and its logo.

 

very kool thanks bloomst

 

Hi all, this is what the new 5 coin RAM bag looks like.

 

Just got mine in the mail today and it was the printed bag

 

These bags are now starting to hit ebay

these are the only "official" bags or rolls of these coins so worth hanging on to I would think and should be in better condition also.

I see no issue numbers on how many bags will be sold anyone know?

 

If we look at the 2013 $2 Coronation, it various form/SKU gives a different return. The highest return is on the RAM carded $1 that was $12.50 on release and followed by the RAM printed bag with 5 coins on it. I think this RAM bag offers a wider potential buyers as they are more affordable than buying the roll or bag and it actually carries some authentication that it is an "official" product from RAM.

I have read people buying multiples bags of the 2015 $2, which is $20/bag ($4/coin), which is the same price per coin with the security bag that is now easily bought for $100 ($4 per coin).

 

So does that mean it's worth buying or not?

Basically the fact that I could get a bag of 25 at the same $/coin made me pause.

 

its a punt like every coin purchase but having them in RAM bags has to count for something

 

If you can buy something in smaller quantity with the same price as bigger quantity, obviously its better of to buy the smaller ones.

 

OK, I might grab a bag or two (on separate bloody orders).

Is there anything else from RAM that is worth getting at the same time to save postage?

I don't really do numis so I might struggle to find anything worthwhile.

 

Well in my opinion it's well worth it,2 bags I was watching on ebay sold for $79.00 each not a bad little return once you take out the fees.

These could even fetch over $100 by the end of the year and might even fetch more then the purple coronation as these are a lot harder to find in your change and are being hoarded.

 

Looks like the Mint are finally going to do more coin swaps as they do a "Changeover Tour" around Australia starting this month in NSW.

They should hopefully have lots of those $2 coins to swap.

 

Looks like the Mint have officially unveiled the coin.

You can also order a bag of five coins for $10.

There is also a C mint mark version available. I wonder if the Mint will also distribute rolls to coin dealers for this release?

 

One pack of 5 coins per transaction so they can profit on the $10 postage fee on each shipment?

 

offering the 5 coin bag its pretty safe to say dealers will not be getting rolls, guess they have to make a couple bucks somewhere on the bags.

orange never had that colour before and time will tell how long it takes to burn out this $2 coloured coin idea like most mints they will over do it its just human nature.

 

buy something else, I picked up a loop, carded $2 and some 2015 red anzacs, total $80 plus postage of $10
