Title: 1/12 Anna coin
Post by: trout on December 03, 2013, 08:52:52 AM
I saw this listed on ebay and bought it.
I have a few Canadian large cents and this is a similar design and I quite like it 
Does anyone know the values of these coins? I paid about $10 for this one.
Just wondering if I overspent on it .

I think this is a KM#509, I have a 1921 version in XF, in my collection and according to my spreadsheet, I have the value at $0.75.
I don't have any recent books though, so that value in fairly old.

PPH has a number of these and 1933 seems to be a year you can find in great condition fairly often.  I am sure she'll be here soon posting up some pictures.

I picked these two up whilst I was sleeping last night

1932 1/12 Anna

The coins I got last night look to be well struck but there seems to be NO pearls in the crown like our coins of the same era.

Beautiful coins, Trout.
Great additions to your collection.

Post by: emu666 on December 05, 2013, 07:54:13 PM
They are pretty coins trout.

---------------------------


A little bigger than a 1/12 anna. I picked this coin up at Australian Coin Auctions (Downies) in 2003.
I was told at the time it was a trial piece from the 1930s.

In my safe deposit box.
It is safe there.
Safe from error collectors from interstate.
Safe from people who say "that would look nice in my collection".

Title: RE: 1/12 Anna coin

No I had never even considered it.
It would probably have to go in an "error submission" which is far from cheap.

I hope it's real but I came across this thread (http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,24837.0.html) by chance last night which suggests these cupronickel pieces may be fake.

I got my first one in the mail on Friday.
I was surprised at how small they are , I was expecting a coin the same size as a Canadian large cent.
There is an amazing amount of detail on such a small coin and it is great that these are still available in such good condition after so many years.
These are about the same size as our 1 cent coins , No wonder there are NO pearls in the Crown :ok:

I think these coins are beautifully designed and minted.
They are also very affordable in uncirculated grades as well :good:
The equivalently aged Aussie coin in high MS grade would cost an absolute fortune and yet these can be had for "Pocket Change" :yahoo:

well, there was a thread earlier of a coin on ebay that had the same obverse
so it looks like half a mule to me  
catnip is for fleas ...  not giggles !! for that - I have the V.S.O.P. safely tucked away in my cupboard

ps well, I always used catnip for fleas - rub it over the cat's fur
but I just googled and apparently it can make cats euphoric - how about that?
"Catnip is the one thing that can render a cat helpless with euphoria and excitement"  -might get myself a catnip plant and give it a try! might be cheaper than the $75 bottle of V.S.O.P.
