anybody else send in a ballot for the Australian 2009 Kangaroo Sunset coin?

1000 mintage and you had to be a customer before July 2008 and send in a ballot for a drawing. I guess I got one because my CC has been charged. They were AU$360 for international and AU$30 postage. Exchange rate was $260 US charged to my card. One just closed in Australia and sold over AU$1500. US$950. Right side of a good deal for a change.

Yes I did. My card has been charged but still no coin. There's some controversy over this coin as apparently dealers entered the same ballot and were subject to the same terms as normal collectors. However, very few if any collectors have their coins but some dealers are listing their coins on ebay getting excessively inflated prices for them. Some people (not me) suggest this is preferential treatment of dealers on behalf of the RAM.
