After receiving some great coins in the mail today off a collector, I've decided to start my Penny set. I'll start off easy, and see how I go!
1964 Perth

starting from the top and going to work your way down?
a good way to roll out 2014
1964m pennies are the most attractive of all pennies in my opinion, great way to start your collection.

At this point in time yep.
Will start off with QEII. Most coins are affordable so it shouldn't be too much of an issue with those ones.

Great project for 2014.!! Will follow with interest.!! :wavemulticolor:
Great project Mate :yahoo:
If you aren't looking at making the set all MS/Uncirculated I am certain that many of our members have heaps of pennys and half pennys hoarded away in buckets, bags and jars that could help you out in your quest :)
if the 1964 penny pair are setting the pace then i'd reckon an unc set will be in the making
from my experience the QEII isn't totally easy
the 1959 m, 1953 M & P and the 1957 + 1960 P will require a bit of chasing for nice uncs
Ok, so I'm a bit stuck on 1964 still :angel:
1964Y - The marks on reverse are highlighted by the light, barely noticeable on the coin itself.

these aren't the same coins as above or are they?
Nope, different coins, from the same collector though.
Go for it Fr45h3R.
I started on ages ago but run out of puff and ended up buying slabs, lol

Thanks Lacey. I'm still buying both slabs and raw coins. Here is one I picked up today from Eric. Great looking coin!

The 59Y is a nice one for the year. They are a mongrel to find in anything better than scrubby UNC.
A great start Fr45h3R
Progressing nicely.!! :good:
welcome to join the penny club

I agree with Purple Pussy.
The 1963Y is a lovely coin; very hard to find so red.
chalk mark going up on the wall as I type......
the big bird agreed with the purple pussy !!!
wonders will never cease!!! ha ha

Picked this one up today. Difficult to capture the beauty of the rainbow tones via photos.

With a little bit of TLC, this should go nicely in my set.

This one is pretty too, just a horrible photo.
That is a very nice 24 Indian there FR45, a better strike than most. That's the same coin you posted a while back huh?
Yeah auto but it's now in a plastic home after a little trip, got MS63BN wasn't it Rob so pretty bloody good. But I still like the other one, can you put a pic up side by side please if it's not too much trouble as that other one is a ripper :drooling:
Wish my photos came out like that. Nice pics.
yeah there's a few of us that wish we could take nice pic's all the time p27 but I might get 1 in a 100 if I'm lucky.
Here's a better photo I took of it before I sent it over. I missed the focus on the obverse though :(
[attachment=2813]
Autocoupler - yep, this was the one I posted a while back. I must give credit to the guys who had some posts on the 1924 Indian obverse, otherwise I wouldn't even be looking at these.
great photo - much better than the other one

Phew!! for a moment there AJ I was thinking there were two, and a BEX may have been required, for me that is.
Loved the second pic Fr45. The change in colour is amazing, is it due to the light? I'm guessing the second pic is the actual colour of the coin?
:) all good auto I was actually stirring Rob about a 59 1/2 penny that is pretty smick, Rob might be nice enough to post it somewhere so maybe if I ask really nice, pretty please Rob with sugar on top as it's very pretty, no where near as pretty as you of course :blush2:

AJ, Those pics sure do bring back some memories, particularly the radio adds where the product would be spelt out letter by letter to the audience.
I think they went like this, Bex B E X Bex is better,
and Vincent's V I N, C E N, T S. Can't quite remember all of the second one. Oops, getting off topic. I'm gone
Yes a cup of tea a bex and a good lie down :)
