PNC 2019 RUM REBELLION WITH A MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY $1 IN ERROR

Due to a mistake in the coins supplied by the Royal Australian Mint, compounded by Australia Post's error in failing to notice that the incorrect coins had been supplied, all Rum Rebellion PSE/PNC's were initially fabricated with a Mutiny on the Bounty $1 coin sealed on the inner card. The mistake was first identified by a collector on the morning of the first day of the Sydney Stamp and Coin Expo. Sale of the PNC's at the show was suspended at around midday, by which time only 80 of the 200 day 1 France Day postmark  show overprint issues had been sold.

Some collectors made a rapid exit from the show to local Post Offices in an attempt to secure the standard PNC error packs. However, Australia Post was quick to react and it is understood that few (possibly up to a further 150) were sold by Post Office outlets before sales were suspended.

Of the six types intended to be issued - standard, show overprint and show postmark days 1 to 4 - three were issued with the wrong coin. Show postmark issues for days 2, 3 and 4 were withrawn and destroyed along with the remaining day 1 packs. All remaining standard issue PNC's were returned to Australia Post where, after a delay, they were re-packaged once the correct coins were supplied by the Mint.
