AussieSilverStandard Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I am new to this forum but have noticed a distinct lack of information on Australian Pre-decimal Silver Coins so thought I'd start one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Nice subject. So what have you got to share with us to "kick it off"? Welcome to CoinPeople and I'm glad you're here. Australian coins are very interesting. I have a small collection - mostly 3d and 6d pieces. I'll see if I can dig up a few images to post.

Art1.2 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ok guys, how do I upload pics coz I've got a *huge* collection of Aussie Pre-decimal Silver coins! The best thing is to host them on one of the photo sites. I use flickr but there are many that are nice. I select the little box to share a photo in flickr. Pick the size I want and then copy the resultant url info that appears. Then I go to my post and paste it. germany series 1944 1 mark front by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg5658 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Here is my example of the 1934-35 Victoria/Melbourne Centenary Florin. NGC doesn't attribute the "full wreath head, nipple (specimen)" type for this coin, but this is the fully struck version of the design -- referred to by some as the "Specimen" strike. I'm providing close-up images of the horseman to show what I mean. The striations on the obverse are all raised in hand, and thus are die polish lines. I think NGC was overly harsh on the grade of MS62 on this one as they didn't understand what it truly was. But, in the end their lower grade allowed me to pick this coin up for a song (at least as far as this issue goes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 That's a beautiful coin. I don't recall ever seeing one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Likewise -- went hunting on eBay, looks like a picture of one is all I'll ever see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
