What's this Ric?...sour grapes?

[Ric]

Not from me Ingrid and congratulations to you as well.

I was albeit rather cheekily suggesting that the winners now had a new hobby of coin collecting for those cloudy nights.

I prefer my grapes pressed and fermented into a bottle.

Cheers

oh you lucky buggers
Congrats to the lucky 12 winners

Mike I have just received my prize in the mail, I am very impressed by the prize and would like to take the opportunity to thank you and Perth Mint for the opportunity to enter and win.

My only problem with such a wonderful prize is do I open it and look at the goodies inside the case or do I leave it the way it is and wonder what's inside.
Oh damn it I ripped it open :rolleyes.

Its a great prize. I did open it I just couldn't help myself. The coins are stored in individual plastic cases, the posters activity and booklets are sealed in a plastic sleeve. The only thing I will chance using is the DVD on Asteroids but only to make a backup and then file it all away.
Did I mention it's a great prize?

I have a "you have a parcel" note in my PO Box. Couldn't they just shove it into the box - drat! Now when can I get they during opening hours before Friday?

[rogerg (Roger)]

Postie just delivered mine to my door! Wow what a prize! Very happy I won this, I didn't realise how big it was or how many different coins it had in it

Great addition to my existing space/astronomy coin collection

I think it's a great prize now, but if I had've got this as a 10 year old for xmas it would've been the only xmas pressent I cared about that year! Brilliant for kids who are in to space/astronomy

Thanks Mike & Perth Mint!

Unless you have a very large PO box it won't fit, the envelope it comes in is a B6 size and the collection is bigger than an A4 sheet. It's well worth the trip at lunchtime to pick it up( unless you are far away from PO)

Good to hear you've recieved it now Sean

I do have the proof set, yeap. IYA has resulted in a nice set of astronomy related coins this year
