I think the Canberra centenary 20c piece is quite nice: [IMG]
Is the hair just better struck/more defined on the "VIP" proofs?
I haven't seen one, though in the last few years I have a few more obscure modern world gold pieces for sale so one may turn up. Is there any...
How did that happen? And is the penny an off metal strike?
Does the annual report say who actually pays for these coins? Surely it's Australia Post that pays (at least the bulk of the cost). Looks like...
Yes I've found the whole VIP proof thing a bit confusing too - VIP proof sets definitely seem to have been struck in 1953, but I'm not sure about...
Hm, makes sense - I guess they probably don't have a resident expert in Franklin Mint struck Panamanian coins, but Krause would be the last place...
I have no British Honduras coins myself but that one is a beauty. Shame about the spots for sure though. I think the mundane reverse designs are...
Was there a reason given?

Okay thanks - 1798 has no picture on the website but...
Is the second one in a slab? I've had a close look at https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...in-km-834-1927-1936-cuid-1202244-duid-1326187 and...
Which lot was it in the Bole collection? I went to https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/special-collections/results.php?specialcollection_id=373...
Thanks - shame it's not photographed on their site. And how does the 1927 differ from the final design? I had a look at a circulation 1927 and...
Who was the obverse by? And it is in any of the books? I don't see anything in British Silver Coins by Davies.
What is the palladium Graham pattern? Is it an official piece?
Nice - do you have links to the PCGS/NGC pages?
Interesting - elsewhere I've seen that they were sold as part of "long" proof sets but it looks like loose coins were sold too.
