  • 1966 silver 50 Cents, as much as I like silver coins I do prefer the 12-sided 50 cent coins more from an aesthetics view point.

  • I have Whitman Vol. 2 of both the Australian Halfpennies and Pennies set. I am wanting to locate the other Whitman Albums:

    Australian Halfpennies 1911 – 1936 Vol 1 #9661
    Australian Pennies 1911 – 1936 Vol 1 #9663
    Australian Pennies 1953 – 1964 Vol 3 #9665

    Does anyone have these or know where to find them (Other than eBay)?

  • 1995 "Weary" Dunlop 50 Cents, my favorite Australian commemorative 50 cent coin. The area of England where I live had a lot of Australian aircrew serving with the RAF & RAAF from the local bomber stations.

  • Looking at coins being sold in Australia, so annoying they are raw. Not sure how to bid without the confidence of a grading service. The grade is less of an issue, just cleaning or other faults I want to rule out.

  • Australia, Australian Joint Stock Bank 1.7.1893 PCGS UNC 60 5 Pounds (Proof)

    Cut cancelled. An extremely rare early proof produced by the British firm of Perkins & Bacon. We have traced just two examples of this proof in public auction in the past three decades: this note from the Perkins Bacon Archive, sold May 1995 at Christies and another sold in Australia in 2017. With issued notes selling for into the 5-figures when they appear at auction (which is very infrequently) this extremely rare proof would fill a seldom-filled hole for one lucky collector. Cut cancelled but with most of the design visible, except for the bottom border.

    Ex: Spink/Christies Perkins Bacon Archive Sale of 23 May 1995 (Lot 87, hammered for GBP 460)
