Old Australia.

I asked and you delivered !!

I had asked if you collected Australian coins and I can see you do !
Maybe you can provide some clarification on the dot by the dat on some coins and not on others. Also some have 2 stars and some have only 1 , what is the significance ?

Thanks

Very nice photos. I have never encountered a predecimal Australian coin, so it is nice to real see the real thing.

 

Very nice!! I have a shilling 1917 and six pences 1918

 

Beautiful coins SM, I especially like your 1936 Half Penny.

Recently an eBay seller (who may be a member here) offered two 1870 Sydney mint Victoria Sovereigns. One was about XF and went for $460. The other however was an undergraded NGC AU58 that went for $536. It looked MS62 to me and was a real beauty. It would have been mine except I had to pay my son's tuition at Indiana University this week and I am for all intents and purposes broke for awhile.

Yes, I do appreciate Australian coins.

 

Lovely!!

Here is my contrib

 

"and I am for all intents and purposes broke for awhile."

Think of it as not broke , but the prime time to search pocket change and thrift stores for those old coin purses that someone left that 1 special coin in

 

hi - I have one of these as well - just wondering how much it is worth? (1951 commemorative florin?

 

Australia Three Pence 1910
The first year Australia issued coins, and this one looks like it has been in circulation for 100 years.


Australia Florin 1944-S
Struck in San Francisco, California, near where I live.

 

Nothing fancy...sure wish I had found the 1919 with the dots above and below the instead.

 

And believe it or not... I paid $3 USD for this proof set only 4 years ago or so.
A bit cloudy on the outside of the plastic, but the coins are all pristine... the one penny coin has a bad habit of wiggling around and manuevering itself nearly upside down.

 

Florin 1927

I really liked the toning on this Florin when I received it!

 

That is some pretty interesting toning. Great looking coin, I like that design alot. Especially since its the only Australian one with that particular style bust of George V(that I know of).

 

George VI the King.
Six pence 1941, silver .925, weight - 2,82 g.

 

Just sold this on eBay.





I miss it already...the things we do for our children.

 

Got it a few days ago.
Six pence 1950, silver. George VI as a King.

 

Half penny 1949, broze. George VI as the king.

 

I got it yesterday for 13$ only. Excellent grade - Brilliant Uncirculated!

 

I collect Australian. I really like your florins, and also the crown. Those are on my wish list for sure.
