The people at the PCGS set registry have just fixed the "One dollar with commemoratives set" by removing the non-standard size Perth Mint coins. This is one of the largest Australian sets.

Well done Peter, got some nice coins in some of your sets :good:
I have all of those.......but none in slabs :(
Disappointing they don't mention mint marts, privy marks and counter stamps. My set is a lot more complete.
Nicely done Peter :good:
This would have taken an awful lot of work , expense and time.
Some really nice grades and hard to get that high.
Bloody awesome effort Mate.
:wavemulticolor:
After the recent additions to the penny set (the double dots, 1920 dot above top scroll and 1942 Bombay no mintmark), there is now one set that is complete. The dot above top scroll is very tough as a gradable coin and PCGS have graded just two examples:

Latest addition to the halfpenny set is the 1942 Bombay long reverse denticles several weeks ago. These are a little easier to find and a number have been graded in mint state:

great sets all round Emu
excellent collection
I am purple with envy xx
I rate well down the list on the penny set.
Timbertop's sets are spectacular, as are Fenton's.
All the others are really good too. You have to admire the effort that goes into putting these collections together.
top job Peter :good: Yeah that bloody timbertops must have some money and has some nice coins alright :winkextra: I'll be up there with you big boys one day, ok in me dreams but it's ok to dream :)
Great education here thanks guys
On the PCGS Set Registry main page:
"The deadline for adding and updating your sets is Monday, June 30, 2014, 5pm EST/2pm PST. Any new sets or edits to existing sets must be published before the deadline. For details please refer to the PCGS Set Registry News page."
This is the time of year when we see some nice sets appear out of the woodwork and "the_M" update his sets.
Here's a link to the Australian sets;

If you have even just a few PCGS graded coins I'd encourage you to join the set registry and put your sets online. It's enjoyable to watch your set grow and its also a useful way to maintain your coin inventory, with the added advantage that you can include pictures of your coins.
The PCGS registry is excellent.
I'm a staunch collector of raw coins but I've caught the registry bug recently.
I will never make it to number 1 but its a lot of fun to try to compete with the big guys...
I agree, It is a fun way to collect coins... very infectious ! once in you are hooked for life !
As Echidna said I will never be able to compete with the big guys up there.. Timbertop and M have the best and they are very hard to beat...
wow, awesome, some time n effort there.

I didn't know that, thanks Mate.
looks like emu only has less than 40% complete but is nearly there on par with timbertop as far as quality goes with nearly 100% complete.

I am a Canberra florin lover from way back and I am of the opinion that it isn't the grade that counts with these coins it is the STRIKE that separates them.
I missed out on a truly exceptional and to my eyes beautiful coin on numisbid recently simply because I didn't have the "Balls" to bid higher on an at the most AU58 coin that went for over $500.
I truly regret my total lack of commitment because although a lower grade coin it was and still is a truly remarkable coin in it's own right regardless of what it would grade at.
Sometimes your passion and appreciation of a coin is FAR more important than a grade from an unknown entity especially when you are hunting for the best of the best as far as you are concerned as a collector of a specific coin type :angel:
I have a few 3 steppers in mid range MS but NOTHING as well struck as that good EF coin I missed out on through being gutless and I still have bad dreams about that :dash1:

Thank you gentlemen, please explain why this coin is so important it went for 9 times the estimate... for the same price you would have bought a MS65 OR a Gem Unc 1927 Florin. Sorry for the dumb questions...:idea:

This coin may not be super interesting to most collectors but to a Canberra fancier it really stands out.
In my personal experience it is harder to find a FULLY struck Canberra florin than to find a coin in MS64 that isn't struck as well.
Next time you look at some Canberra florins check out the "Steps" I think you will find it quite hard to find a full 3 stepper, let alone one in MS64 or better.
The coin that proof27 has would only grade at AU55-58 in my opinion but the superb strike on this coin is what makes it so desirable to certain collectors.
Also the beautiful toning is the "Icing" on the cake :drooling:

I've seen plenty of coins go for way over and way under estimate on numisbid, like Trout said, hard to find one so well struck with full 3 steps. I would of kept going with price if needed. I have a MS64+ Canberra and think this aUnc one is nicer. Each to there own I guess.

You are not wrong, Timbertop has the 1934/35 Florin MS67 + numerous other TOP. Unless these guys have had enough collecting coins, there is no hope for us :yahoo: even then there will be so much competition it will cost an arm and a leg to buy one let alone a collection of that caliber ..
I admire these very nice collections.. but i doubt I will ever be able to afford them .... Unless I win Lotto :blush:
Have a look at some of the sets, there are a lot of other collectors (outside of the M and timertop) out there that have amazing sets, emu springs to mind, without most of them spending $10k on a single 1950's silver coin which graded 67.
For mine the most interesting sets are the 1966 proof, 2001 centenary of federation, halfpenny and penny full sets as well as the 1955-63 proof set. Of course to complete those sets requires very different funds, the 1966 proof set isn't an expensive exercise though (as an example). There are lots of collectors who to different levels are trying to create sets, of course all wont have the funds to get the top pop set, however, there are some nice sets none the less and some very nice coins.

there's no harm in dreaming :angel: , i am happy just to pickup 1 or 2 florins a year , i would even settle for any MS in the George V series .I try and look at raw coins tho , my main focus at the moment is my 1955 to 63 proof set , pr66 and up for the silvers and happy with second and third tier for the coppers .
1955 and 56 Perth's are the killers but achievable
My main sets are the 25mm $1 coins and the 50 cent coins.
There is NO way in the world that I can afford to get them all graded at once.
I am just getting the new issue stuff done with a few of the older coins at about 20 a time.
ill worry about the registry stuff when I have a hundred or so slabbed up :ok:
Many coins in those top sets have come from The Purple Penny, Stuart Andersen Coins (Emu's good eye), Drake Sterling Numismatics and Numisbid. Buying them is not "pie in the sky" like this thread is suggesting.
Befriend your dealer, let them know what you're looking for and the coins might even come to you.
Some sets will always be pie in the sky, i.e. a complete penny set all high MS is quite the expensive exercise (for most people), whereas a 1c complete set may be quite achievable, ditto with a 1966 proof set.
You can get all your coins from dealers, get them yourself or a mixture. At the end of the day as long as you are happy with your set that is all that matters.

I agree, most my comes from the above dealers except Emu, I might get some from him bit later ...:wavemulticolor:
However to get to the top of the registry people need funds. Just being friends with dealers won't cut it... No dealer can or will sell a TOP coin at a loss... They can definitely help you to find the coin, but buyer need the funds... Sorry PPH... I have to disagree with you !:angel:
I bought my very first proof set from you !! You sold that at a fair price too :yahoo:
With the decimal coins it is certainly NOT "Pie in the Sky" to get hold of really high grade coins as they are affordable and readily available.
I'm not talking MS69 or 70 coins here but MS66 for most decimals with the exception of a few are not too hard to find.
When we get into the pre decimal stuff is when you need deep pockets and a lot of contacts, This is where building a relationship with a few dealers is essential.
The expense of just getting the coins graded for an entire series of coins can be daunting in itself let alone the purchase price of the coins in the first place, so buying ready graded coins may be a better option for collectors that don't want to run the gauntlet and have their hopes dashed because they got their grading estimates wrong.
There are a select few dealers in Australia that send coins into get graded and they are bloody good at what they do, otherwise they would be out of business in no time flat.
So if you are not confident about selecting your own coins to add to your registry set have a yarn to your dealer and I am pretty sure that they will be able to help you out.
If there are multiple coins at the top of the pop why can't just one of them be yours?
In talking about the registry sets I don't always think having the top coin -well, it's not always what makes me happy. I'll choose a pretty brown coin with colour over a lustrous red with carbon or fingerprints. I always buy the coin not the holder.
I have the single finest graded 2014 Proof selectively Gold plated MOR coin at PGGS at PR69DC at the moment , So that makes me "Top of the Pops " with that one.:yahoo:
I have to add tho that mine is the ONLY coin graded at the moment :angel::)

I would agree that obtaining individual top notch coins is a possibility for many posters on this forum just by a bit of hard saving, Marks recent '52 shilling being just such an example of a coin that went for a months salary and beats all competition. But getting to be top dog (1st place) on the registry sets, especially against the big guns, is still pie in the sky.That being said I'm still on the lookout to obtain a few (more) top of the pop coins in coming years, get them slabbed and move up from lowly 15th place to maybe catch up with 5th place or so.
What do you get for winning the top set for 2014? Is there anything other than the title?
I agree with Neal, we all can get some TOP coins but hard to get TOP early pre decimal coins..
I want to have a nice set, doesn't matter if they are TOP or not... I have some sets that are in top 10, but the difference between top 5 and bottom 5 is huge specially larger sets such as complete circulating Florins, Shillings or Pennies....
Come on you Mob.
Who really gives a "Rats' about who has the biggest dick or best coins.
Collecting is all about personal fun and achievement , NOT poncing about telling the world how good we are and expecting everyone to "Lick my Feet" if you can't keep up or don't have the finances to do so :ok:
If people are motivated to have the best of the best "Graded coins" and be part of a select "Club" then good on them, But don't let that make you feel inferior or feel bad.
Collecting for me personally is fun and I enjoy it, If I felt like I "Had" to compete to enjoy myself I would give the hobby away in a heartbeat.
End of rant :angel:
I have sent some of my Silver Proof 25mm $1 coins to PCGS to be graded and I will endeavour to send the other 60 odd by this time next year.
I don't think anyone has done this yet with only the Silver proofs so I May have a slim chance of being "Top Dog" for a short time :)
If they make a set registry for those (if there isn't one and you ask) then you might win a prize!
go for it Trout!

So in a couple of weeks the blue and gold icons will apear.
There are now more than 1,000 Australian sets on the registry.
In the last year a lot more "newby" sets have appeared and also a lot more decimal sets.
I find this encouraging.
I am hoping to get a week off next week and have decided to send all my 25mm Silver proof $1 coins away to PCGS for grading at the same time.
There are over 60 of them so it will be a Marathon effort for me to write all the stickers out and fill in all the paperwork But I think it will be easier than sending them in dribs and drabs.
This is the easy part, Adding them to the registry is a real pain in the Bum and will take a while :(
If I am lucky I may be the "Timbertop" of the Silver Proofs for a short while :)
Enjoyable following the progress of our members with their P.C.G.S. coins, good luck with your next package Trout.!! :ok:

I bought bigger labels so it should be easier :)
Just noticed PCGS has now added the proof sets from 1969 until 1974 to the set registry. All the best to anyone on the forum who has a complete set of any of these years graded by PCGS.
