OK
I "Dropped the Ball" on this coin when I sent it away But it is a good example of things that can be missed if you don't study a coin properly when submitting it.. :dash1:
It is still a nice coin and worthy of keeping in a collection :ok:
All that is required is to post the reason why you want this coin.
The most interesting or amusing answer will get the Slab.
I will announce the winner on Sunday arvo :)

On second thoughts I think a vote from the forum should decide who the coin goes to would be more appropriate Than just me making the decision :)
I like unicorns sense of humour, I think he will have a good chance of winning.
I promise if I am selected to receive this coin.
I will not trade this coin,
I will not swap this coin,
I will not sell this coin.
I promise this coin will have a,
comfortable place to rest,
it will not be hidden away,
it will be shown to an a appreciative audience,
So please vote for me.
i promise if i get this coin it will be given to my son, it will be handled, the slab will get scratched, it will get dropped occasionally and it will sit on his shelf with a round 50 he has to handle and a 1800's cleaned penny with queen Victoria on it that he has.
it will not get sold whilst he lives in my house, after that i cant make any promises but i would hope that he doesn't sell it
Easy really, it's the most beautiful coin ever minted,
oh, and it's my lifes mission now to own more Canberra Florins
than trout. :yahoo:
Well trout...if you are silly enough to give such a beautiful coin away then it must be added to my collection.
You have no other choice!

I shall respond in haiku
Give it to me now
oh Parliament Florin bright
big blue wombats run.
Hmmm I seem to have slipped off topic in that last line.
just send it back, a different person a different grade
Quote from: 'Australian coin' pid='52334' dateline='1402630341'just send it back, a different person a different grade
The lines are not glaringly obvious and it MAY grade if submitted again But I would still know that they graded it wrongly if they did grade it.
I have NO intention to try and sneak under the carpet with a coin.
It is what it is.
Having said all that this IS a nice coin and it "Cartwheels " Nicely , It is also a reasonably well struck coin and will make the collector that gets it quite happy.
I personally will get a lot more enjoyment handing this coin over to a deserving collector than I ever would picking a few bucks up from eBay for it.
So "Indulge" me and put your hands of for this you Mob :dance2::)
I will treasure it for my late days so I can cash it in when I get to the pearly gates for entry.
I promise that I don't want it, as it would ruin my Slab-Free Zone certification status, and I only just spent a small fortune on incorporating the logo on all my stationery. I would have to hide it away in some deep, dark recess on the bottom level of the money bin, never to see the light of day and only to be enjoyed in the dead of night, during lunar eclipses which occur at winter solstices. I would also have to spend a small fortune to acquire a suitably booby-trapped safe to hold it in, to ensure its total destruction in the event of my death, lest my memory be tarnished forevermore as having ever been in possession of such objectionable material.
Perhaps you should give it to some worthy recipient, who can then set it free and throw it on ebay, where I might pay obscene amounts for it, secure in the knowledge that my reputation would go untarnished.
I don't want it. Everyone else here is much more worthy than I.

If you "won" it you would have to rethink your entire coin housing/display/storage system and we can't have that.

I just now got off the phone to AJ, NOT because he needs cheering up but simply because he is a good bloke and I enjoy having a yarn with him.
I have a slabbed Canberra with his name on it already because the first one I gave him was pretty ordinary :ok:
This one is for you mob :)
