<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 2337096, member: 15488&quot;]Those that follow this thread know I love my mint and proof sets. Every now and then I find something special or unique. This is one of those. Australia pumps out a lot of mint and proof sets and the market is getting a little crazy on some issues. One needs to research to find the ones which are more desirable than others. And why.</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1991 Mint commemorates the 25th anniversary of the decimal system in Australian coinage. Here are a few reasons why this one stands out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage of 25,000 is 2nd lowest of Australian mint sets. 1999 at 500 is lowest of published mintage figures. There may be some lower but I can&#039;t find published figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>This 50c commemorative was only minted in 1991</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1,2,and 20 cent piece all have a mintage of 148,000 each</p><p>That makes the 1 cent the key with the lowest mintage</p><p>The mintage for the 2 cent is 2nd lowest</p><p>The mintage for the 20 cent is 4th</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1 and 2 cent are only available in the set. If the Mintage on the set is 25,000 and the mintage on the coins are 148,000. What happened to the other 123,000?</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause list the value of this set at $245! Take that for what it&#039;s worth. Someone take a guess at what I paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>This set will have a place in my &quot;special set&quot; collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]474474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474476[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
