BABY MINT SET. 2008. Year of the Planet.

A truly scarce "Baby" mint set including the scarce commemorative coin featuring the portrait of Norman Lindsay.

Australia has been producing mint year sets packaged with a "baby" theme since 1993. The coins in mint sets are just the same as those we see in circulation, but are in perfect condition! Baby mint sets are produced in far lower numbers than standard mint sets, so they are far harder to get. Couple this with the fact that those parents & grandparents that didn't get them when they first came out are willing to pay over the odds to get them, and these sets are great to put away.

The 2008 Baby Mint set includes a coin that can't be found elsewhere - the Norman Lindsay $1 commemorative. Just 46,504 of these coins were struck to UNC condition, the set has to be buying just for that fact alone!
