Thank you Unicorn & Jeff. :)
Thanks folks! :angel:
Right, I was busy yesterday (getting a replacement motor ready to put into my vehicle) so didn't have time to get any scans done.
First, we should have a few rules for the auction;
•Closing time will be 6:00pm EST Tuesday 19 November
•Highest bid, at that time, is the winner
•Postage (anywhere in Australia) will be free with tracking and signature on delivery
•Coins will be posted as soon as Nancy advises money has been received by the Movember fund
•There is no minimum bid increment
That should do.
Here are the scans. Remember; you can choose only one each of the 20¢ and 50¢.

See, this is why I didn't even think about bidding. I knew these two would do this, so why bother? :angel:
Make it a threesome -never know where that might lead!

I know exactly where that would lead... and it would not be good. ;)
I would bid but I don't collect "Lose Proofs", sorry.
I am done bidding. If someone else wants to partner up with trout then feel free :)

It's not about the coins , it is all about sending some cash to a real good cause :ok:
I already have all these coins and don't really need them.
As the thread states it is a "Charity" auction and I applaud jeffH for putting these up to make a few quid for this well deserved charity :good:
All is GOOD :)
Good on you trout.

I realise that. I simply choose to donate in other ways rather than get into a bidding war I know I won't win. :)
SOLD to trout. The winning bid is $50. That is a $50 gain for the Movember appeal.
Thanks to Unicorn for donating the quiz prize for this auction.
I really think Jeff's to thank here. He was kind enough to offer such great prizes for the entertaining quiz, not to mention the running the auction with great pics and free postage etc. (All I had to do was try and beat Fulvio at the quiz :laugh2: ..... I just love a challenge! )
I really hope Trout enjoys them. Good on you both.

Not much of a challenge mate.. I once buggered up the state finals with the question "What item of jewellery does a princess wear on her head?" ... The word Tiara just refused to come into my head. Left permanent scars, that did... :(
:laugh2: ..... Tiara McDuck ..... hmmm has a ring to it! (Could well stick ....)
What were the state finals for Fulvio?
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='34958' dateline='1384948226'What were the state finals for Fulvio?
It was a nationwide schools quiz... back in around, umm, 1966 or thereabouts. Very embarrassing to stuff up like that in front of a couple hundred people at Collingwood Town Hall. And dad's reaction just made it so much worse too...
Ah well, water under the bridge, eh? ;)
