Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

@Mustang67  Hello lovely That’s wonderful you’ve been able to get this coin at a bargain price! 

Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

@Mustang67  yes night time shopping is the best 😄  xxx

Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

@Bunniekins I think that is when most of my shopping is done. Lol

 

It is peaceful and I can really concentrate on what I am looking for. I am always looking for the best price when I purchase my coins, so a lot of comparison goes on.

Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

At least you 'miss' the ballots. I just never get drawn @Mustang67 !

Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

@tyme I am sorry to hear that you haven't won a ballot. This is how the system is supposed to work.

 

In a fair ballot system, such as those used by the Royal Australian Mint for coin releases, there is no set limit on how many times a person can lose. Because each draw is independent, a participant could theoretically fail to win multiple times across different product releases. 

 

Royal Australian Mint
  • Fairness Mechanism: The system is designed to give everyone a "fair shot" at purchasing, but it does not guarantee a win.
  • Entry Limit: Participants are generally restricted to one entry per person per product to maintain fairness.
  • Notification: If unsuccessful, you may not receive a specific notification, as only winners are typically notified via email from EQL. 
To increase chances, ensure you only enter once per product to avoid being disqualified by the system.
