Just after some help trying to pick out a few coins please and also a bit of promotion for Eric :angel:

I was very serious Eric I'm thinking about getting right into the proof and stuff everything else as they are nice but I'll have to pay them off but good to have some :)
I would buy them raw and send them to Eric to get graded.You can save yourself a packet especially with early decimals.I've sent a few 1966 proof sets over and they have all graded PR66 - PR69.But in saying that you have to pick your mark when buying and be a little bit lucky if buying online
The best advice I can give is to buy the best you can afford. Good quality coins always retain and build value faster than poorer coins. I'm biased as all I collect is pre decimal proofs but get unimpaired and full red copper as they are the most attractive in my opinion. In particular any Melbourne copper with full red or almost full red is extremely rare.
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated and all welcome :hi: Don't know about coppers just yet but getting more confident with the silvers so just need the money now :)
