g,day I am finding it hard to get it verified as genuine here in Australia, to far removed from the euro bustle I think.

Happy Christmas to all who helped me out in 2015

regards Al

anyone know, pardon me if I have put this up before.

regards Al

Thank you for your comments

regards Al

there you go,

a Aussie country landscape .

g,day Art1.2

thanks for the info on that a lot of the tech talk is beyond me, I might wait and vet what people I get to come onto my new site cos I want to set it up for interchange between genuine collectors in the main. my biggest block at present is sorting the collector from the hidden dealer hey!

I have attached one of my Oils for you to peruse as a change in mailing hey!!

kind Regards Al

I do have my own site but I don't think I am allowed to mention it yet,

is there a limit to the amount of pics I can upload.?

regards Al

here we go, I have a wonderful collection of farthings

these are some old ones I have as double ups.the thing I like

about UK farthings are the differences in sizes and types over the years. regards Al

here you go folks another coin to have a look at

I hope they give us a bit of joy.

regards Al

g,day thanks for your comment and reply,

my main interest in my declining years is going to be collecting US 1 5 &25 cents to jump start

my enthusiasm and I am going to use my UK Ca and aussie stuff to trade for them, while I have indexing them all I keep finding

these odd ones,

Kind Regards Al

yesterday I found a SA 1941 1d very strange with "imperator" on it

I found this in my loose stuff

what do you all think of it???

kind Regards Al

I could probably agree but to what end, what would be the purpose, the coin itself wouldn't raise

a brass farthing in worth even without a rim, still its worth looking at hey!!!!

Kind Regards Al

what are the thoughts on this one marked as small head no rim

regards Al

g,day Constanius

WOW.

we can see the 6 in the other one is almost closed over hey! good work mate, I have to scrub out the 8 and move to a six.

these coins are absolutely worthless here but I have loved collecting them, I worked out the other day I can get 150.00 for my uk pennies in bulk copper etc, heaven knows what for my 1/2d and farthings of which I have bucket loads more, still having fun with them though.

I appreciate your comments

kind Regards Al

it could be that the wear has turned a 6 into an eight who knows.

g,day

I have loaded the reverse and I zoomed up the obverse to have another look the date is clearly

1828 the coin with card is 19g and approx. 34ml across

maybe it was from another commonwealth country

maybe it was a home made one .

Regards Al

what a dill brain I am fancy putting 2 pics of the same

I am sorry everyone.

I will put the reverse up

after giving myself an uppercut.

kind Regards Al

I was under the impression that the OZ silver coins went all the way up to 1952 and only changed with QE11 coronation.

3d 6d 1/- and 2/- or florin..

Kind Regards Al

Constanius

the pic above is the same as the actual, the date is clear enough to read

it has to be a halfpenny hey!

Regards Al

yes I just discovered it wasn't minted and that it is a halfpenny which is cool I can add it to my 1/2d list

it weighs 18g with a card and you are right the normal pennies are around 9g

regards Al

this coin appears to be different to the rest thicker heavier even sticks out of the card more than the others. I have no scales the size appears the same as other UK pennies?????

g,day

just had a look at the book and I believe the 3d 6d 1/- were silver up to the coronation year, and I think the UK silver was stopped a lot earlier, though cant prove it. you have some lovely coins there didn't see the scarce 1932 florin I finally got mine to finish the set

though it is only EF at best.

for years I have stared at my florin set with the 32 33 and 39 scarce one blank, so I am stoked to have finally completed it

Kind Regards Al

ps I think OZ nicknames were the Zack the dena and the two bob.
