Nice one Mattgold. Renniks lists the obverse die cracks shown as Scarce. Is there another through the 2 and 4 on the reverse?

Yeh mate there is, just squized under the magnifier. I can see the die crack between the 2 and 4 in the image I posted now. I didn't pick that up earlier, thanks.. What year renniks are you using?

I think I need to get myself a few books on varieties and errors.
I don't collect pennies or tokens so I might put them on ebay and see how they go, unless someone here is interested than you guys can have first pick. If anyone is interested just pm me and we can sort something out.

Bloody hell Mate, ya gotta get your act together :laugh2:
Seriously tho, since I put ALL my collections in PP albums and did a data base I was in the same boat :dash1:
I took me months to sort my coins into some sort of order But now I just go look at the albums and find what I am looking for , eg "pre decimal errors" and bingo :yahoo:
Name a coin and if I have it see how long it takes me to scan it and post it :angel:
do you have an excel spreadsheet?
my hubby has one
I have .... eeer Robbie's memory and boy that system has a lot of failings!!

I only have excel for my decimals because that is what I seem to be doubling up on :dash1:
I have quite a few PP albums and I label all of them so there is no drama with finding ANY Aussie coin I have ( the US and Canadian stuff is still a bit of a shambles ) a bit like having a living library of coins :yahoo:
thanks, I have been sorting my coins out
so it's good to find out ways that other collectors have their collection catalogued
Quotethanks, I have been sorting my coins out
The absolute beauty of a big sort out/clean up is that you "re visit" coins that you have forgotten about for years :yahoo:
I have just ordered a few hundred 2x2's to sort out my Yank and Canadian stuff :angel:
Looks like I will have to pester PP for a few more albums and pages :dash1:
I catalogue all my coins by scanning them onto the computer and then putting the scans into excel spreadsheet pages.
I am not interested in the purchase price, date of purchase etc as a lot of people are.
If I want something say a 1923 threepence, I fire up the computer, log on to the threepence page and bingo, go find it.
It also acts as a security record as well. The complete collection is on my computer and a second hard drive.
- coins in a spreadsheet - tick
now, - the coins in the albums?
I have my "no errors'' by years or decades (ie 1911-1936 ; 1938 - 1952 etc)
then the errors - are in error albums by type of error
ie. denticle patterns, die cracks - penny or halfpenny albums of these
then finally the die varieties (pennies) in variety albums
so I have to remember the error type when I go looking for an error coin and that is when I can get a bit muddled as I have them all more or less together by error type - not year
whereas my hubby just has - all of the years catalogued together - errors and all - so he can look for say, 1964 penny - die crack through star - he can more or less find it in that year
I have never really mastered my system yet
and yes, I do double up on my purchases as I don't have a great system like a spread sheet to check if I already have a particular coin
QuoteI have never really mastered my system yet
I most certainty haven't yet Mate but at least we are having a shot at it :good:
half of the fun
I have enjoyed my recent sorting out of stuff and checking on some coins that maybe haven't been looked at for more than a year/s or so

IT is really amazing what you can find covered in dust and cobwebs that have been forgotten for years that are gems :yahoo:
