  OPALPLUS HAS BEEN PURCHASER OF PERTH MINT COINS SINCE EARLY 1980s

IN AUGUST 2007 WE WERE APPROVED AS AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR PERTH MINT AUSTRALIA .

COINSPLUS NOW SPECILAIZES IN COINS

 

The Perth Mint’s Young Collectors coin program has taken off in more ways than one.  Following last year’s groundbreaking release featuring 12 Australian Animal $1 coins, this year’s spectacular offering comprises nine $1 Space coins that bright youngsters will find utterly absorbing.  Housed in a lavishly illustrated presentation album packed with many exciting ‘extras’, the 2009 release represents a magnificent acquisition that will encourage many more young people to develop an interest in coin collecting.

 

2009 Space $1 Coins

 

This year’s Young Collectors program comprises nine Australian $1 coins entitled:

 

1. Astronomers – with a design depicting Galileo Galilei, who built a telescope 400 years ago and made many remarkable discoveries about the Solar System.

 

2. Craters - with a design depicting Daedalus, a 93 kilometres wide crater on the Moon.

 

3. Rockets - with a design depicting a Saturn V rocket, the biggest, most powerful rocket put to regular use.

 

4. Moons - with a design depicting an astronaut on the surface of the Moon, Earth’s only natural satellite.

 

5. Observatories - with a design depicting Australia’s famous radio telescope at Parkes in New South Wales.

 

6. Shuttles - with a design depicting a Space Shuttle, the world’s first re-useable spacecraft.

 

7. Space Telescopes - with a design depicting the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits Earth at a height of nearly 600 kilometres.

 

8. Rovers - with a design depicting remote-controlled exploration vehicles used to explore Mars.

 

9. Space Probes - with a design depicting the Pioneer probe that is carrying information about the human race into deep space.

 

Uncirculated Aluminium Bronze

 

Each coin, which also incorporates the Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark in its reverse design, is struck from aluminium bronze in uncirculated quality.

 

Australian Legal Tender

 

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 , each coin portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.

 

Lavish Presentation Album

 

Each coin, which comes in a capsule to keep it in mint condition, fits snugly inside a lavish presentation album featuring dazzling coloured imagery of the Solar System, Galaxies and the Universe. Fully open, the album’s magnificently illustrated internal spread is nearly 1 metre wide!

 

Also In The Album

 

The Young Collectors Space Coins presentation album includes significant ‘extras’ that will contribute to the enjoyment offered by this stunning coin program: 

 

Information Book

 

The wonderfully illustrated information book features informative texts written with help from experts at The Perth Observatory. Providing answers to many of the questions young people have about space, the book provides a great introduction to each of the planets in our Solar System, with fascinating ‘Did You Know’ sections highlighting extraordinary and unusual facts. The book includes further information about the individual coin designs and the hobby of coin collecting, one of the longest established and most popular pastimes in the world.

 

Activity Book

 

The activity book features two young space characters who present a variety of brain-teasing word and picture puzzles.  The information required to successfully complete the activity book can generally be found in the information book, although answers are also printed on the back page.  The activity book incorporates a large choice of coloured stickers featuring space-related imagery.

 

Asteroids DVD

 

Presented by National Geographic, the captivating 60-minute DVD features geologist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife Carolyn who have remapped the heavens with their discoveries of more than 30 comets and hundreds of asteroids. (The DVD is encoded Region 4 PAL)

 

Posters

 

Measuring 40cm by 69cm (approx) two glossy coloured posters feature stunning images of:

 

  • the Space Shuttle in orbit above Earth.
  • a magnificent interstellar dust cloud called the Horsehead Nebula.

 

Perfect Gift From Parents And Grandparents

 

Positive feedback from Perth Mint collectors following the release of last year’s coins has confirmed that the Young Collectors concept has been extremely well received by young people.  In the view of many, the program offers a perfect gift from parents and grandparents keen to share their passion for one of the world’s most popular hobbies.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Coin Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Numismatic Specialist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
