What is the Difference is between Perth Mint & Royal Australia Mint RAM Canberra

[@peterepete-uv1oh]

Hi Dan, Glad to see you on Bullion Now Stream today

[@DantheCollectingMan]

It was a great episode, loved hearing all the background information. Dan

[@SolemnStacker]

RAM has some great designs, like the Coat of Arms series. My RAM collection is much smaller than my Perth Mint collection.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

My two, but I do love the RAM silver. It’s wonder what state will come out this year with the coat of arms? Hoping Vic. Thanks so much for watching. Dan

[@david.9633]

Great comparison. I've always been partial to the Perth Mint.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

You and me both! Thanks so much for your feedback. Dan

[@ChuckyMcNubbin72]

The primary difference is the perth mint cannot legally produce circulation issue coinage. The official designation is Non Circulating Legal Tender or N.C.L.T for short. Both Perth Mint and the RAM use N.C.L.T when listing coins that aren't meant for circulation. Rennicks also has them listed as N.C.L.T.

Thanks for your information. Dan

Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@DantheCollectingMan]

No problem 😊 glad you enjoyed my video. Dan

[@williame8202]

A great explanation of the differences. I like the designs of the Perth Mint.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

So glad you enjoyed my video, thanks so much for watching. Dan

[@dougstacks]

Great video!

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Dan

I collect from both mints, same as u by the look of it, and consider both world class but feel the RAM has let itself down with its packaging on its higher quality coins. Perth mint has it all over them in this regard, l really don't want a flimsy cardboard box for my good coins (and expensive) that I wish to display. Cheers Dave

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I totally agree with you! The RAM definitely needs to improve on its packaging! Thanks so much for sharing. Glad you enjoyed my video. Dan

[@ozyrob1]

I kind of take the opposite view. I'm happy with the more utilitarian budget packaging especially if it keeps the cost down.

[@ozyrob1]

I think many of the RAM designs are nicer but because they don't have international collector appeal I guess they may never generally be as valuable. I couldn't help myself, I had to buy thee Vegemite set.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

The RAM is definitely fantastic as it’s design 👌 Thanks Dan

[@nathieboy1987]

Great collection. Personally I'm not a fan of the lunar series.. that's not to say that I don't appreciate the art behind them, but it just seems every second release is lunar related, and I'm bored with that - it's one reason why I tend to collect more from the Royal Mint than any other mint. I love visiting the RAM whenever I'm able, though it's about a three-hour drive, so it's only about once per year for me. Love Titan though haha. Hope to get over to visit PM one day.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, I can’t wait to see what the RAM will look like when it reopens. Thanks so much for watching. Dan

Coins and some collectible’s, RAM, silver and gold bars Perth

[@DantheCollectingMan]

👌

[@user-kq3ud3hp7k]

Thanks for the information Dan

[@mickeymouse6599]

Could you use both currencies made by the two companies?

[@DantheCollectingMan]

The coins made at the Perth mint are not made to go into circulation. More just for show 👍

[@ChuckyMcNubbin72]

Both mints produce coins that are legal tender under the Australian currency act and as such can be used for payment of debt.

[@ChuckyMcNubbin72]

The 1966 round 50c coin is 80% silver. There are no 1966 50c coins made of 90% silver. That 2012 1 ton gold coin is actually 1012 kilograms. It has a face value of 1 million dollars. Another difference between both mints is the Perth mint is owned by the Western Australian government but administered by Gold Corp. The RAM is federal government under the jurisdiction of the RBA.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks so much for point this out. it's very helpful. Dan

[@lorrainedalton8753]

You didn't pick up the anniversary silver coin with Charles 111 on it... I've just received it in the mail, beautiful...

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yes it is a very beautiful coin. Just sent my proof 125 year anniversary to PCGS to get graded. Glad you enjoyed my video. Dan

[@louallen8138]

how much dose it cost to have a coin graded

[@DantheCollectingMan]

The last lot of coin it cost me $330 including postage for 7 coins. Thanks Dan. I just released a video on Friday about unboxing it. Thanks Dan

[@louallen8138]

@@DantheCollectingMan thankyou

[@jasonaus-dj2id]

hi quick question just new to this, do the silver coins from Perth Mint come in the plastic cover. Is that the stacker option instead of the pouch or did you put them in your own.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks for the question, when you buy coins individually directly from the mint they mostly come in capsules, some other bullion suppliers may take them from a tube, and only put them in a pouch. You will also see on each coins webpage (Perth Mint) what it comes in, Hope this answer your question. Dan

[@jasonaus-dj2id]

@@DantheCollectingMan thanks for the reply yes it has helped and will be starting to dable in this world of bullion a little. looking forward in some more of your insight here in the future. cheers.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

From a bullion standpoint 👌

[@wapphigh5250]

yeh 15 billion RAM cupronickel pieces of devaluing worthless fiat junk...

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yes, definitely not as good as the pre decimal coins. Thanks so much for watching. Dan

[@ozyrob1]

I'd happily let them deposit 2 million of " worthless junk" into my bank account. You are free to send me all your worthless junk too. I'll make room.
