Scottishmoney Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Nice to have more people from Oz here. I have over 600 GV on up pennies, I really like the Aussie pennies because there are just so many blasted mints, mintmarks, varieties etc. One of my faves is my 1933 overdate. I would like to do the silver, but I like quantities and with the US$ so south now, my Aussie buying days are more in the future. I remember buying those pennies, they came in about a 5 kilo box from Melbourne several years ago. They were packed well, but coming 12000 miles is hard on a package and I remember they were starting to spill out, but they were all there. I like the predecimal coinages from Britain and all her far flung colonies, dominions etc. Australia is the best I have done at acquiring hoards of coins to go through, I have even gotten semi-key dates like some of the 1914's in these lots. I like finding the ones minted in Bombay, Calcutta etc. And yes, I have the Russian bug too, I collect everything up into the 1920's when Stalin trashed and cheaped up the coinage. I am currently working on a Nikolai II type set, have all in BU except the copper 5 Kopeks of 1911 and then I need to redo the gold that I sold off, I had a complete type set from 5 Rubles to 15 Rubles but sold it when I went to Ukraine.
