<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xrayspecs, post: 424392, member: 15631&quot;]I know I&#039;m a bit late coming in to this conversation but I&#039;ve only just found this forum when looking for places to learn more about world coins. I just wanted to say I&#039;ve been buying coins from Downies in Australia for some time and their recent acquisition of Euro Collections has me interested. I buy mostly Australian coins but the Euro Collections site has quite a variety of attractive modern world coins that maybe I should start expanding my collecting geography <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can say, though, that Downies is not actually a private mint at all like Frankilin and Pobjoy. Downies is first and foremost a numismatic retail outlet but they do very occasionally have coins struck on commission, such as the Sydney Harbor Bridge lenticular coins and the Dangerous Species Series (Red Back Spider, Great White Shark and Blue-Ringed Octopus). Most coins Downies offer are actually Australian coins struck by the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint. I know this simply because these items make up a vast percentage of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Euro Collections doesn&#039;t seem to be the sort of place that would offer a 1951 Proof Set, however, as from what I can see the majority of their stock in 21st century. They do have quite a wide and interesting variety of modern world coinage, however, and I for one will also be signing up to their mailing list to see what is on offer <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
