A standard Aussie dollar (9 gram, 25mm, aluminium bronze), a must have for my collection.
Great coin
You don't get much more Aussie than Slim Dusty:ok:
Coin looks good "in hand" as we'll :good:
I think it's often hard to get a portrait to look good, like the Steve Irwin coin is a shocker. This however isn't too bad.
It's a nice lookin' coin but the packaging's crap
I just finished reading the royal mint's rap
Through the long coin hours is that my wi-ife a callin' me
These rough old hands need a white cotton glove
My eye's packed it in but the hobby I love
And the lights on the cuds on the rims are a-blindin' me
It's the nice little coin from the other thread
The one by the bloke with a mint in his shed
And a home way out west not too far from the indian sea
So it's down through the list of the minted dollar coins
The ones that are left are where the rare list joins
And the lights on the cuds on the rims are a-blindin' me
