I just acquired a complete set of pre dec coins excluding the 1930 penny and a 23 half question is do I break it up to pick out key dates or should I keep it together?
guys can I hear some opinions on these coins?
the 1915 half sov has a "broken " nose that is weird and the 38 crown is covered in die polish marks. is that normal?

I would be interested in the price you paid for the pre decimal collection.
Where the coins in albums or what?
Does the collection include the 1921/22 overprint 3d?

yes but most are of an avg grade

lol I wish!

a lot more than the missus would have liked! but about right given it was a bulk lot and most coins are avg circulated condition.
I will pick some out for photos later, trying to figure out how to get coins out. they are in dansco book in clear plastic covered holes that seem sealed shut
The plastic leaves slide out from right to left.!! :angel:
ooohh thanks.
I thought they had been glued in
anyone want to buy a 2nd hand dansco album?
I guess it is a 'Australian Type Set' album.!??
it says 7334 Australia florin
I also have a 7330 half penny
7313 for shillings and
7332 3&6 pence
I have completed all mine, great albums and a good catch for a new member. Normally sell for about $60 new.!:angel:
problem is I don't like them. I prefer in slabs or 2x2s so I can handle them so to speak
anywhay I am interested in hearing what people have to say about the coins?
bit quiet here
All my coins are set in Dansco Supreme Albums, the same as the ones you now have empty. I love them.
can I ask why? what appeal do you see in using the albums?
you should see the way the penny set has toned. the later ones have gone all purple multi coloured like from the edges in. the cardboard cant be good for them

Dansco supreme albums contain sulphur in the cardboard which will affect the coins and tone them.
I've seen many such coins with heavy toning around the edges.
Silver goes black and blue.
These albums are OK for average condition material but I would never store top grade stuff in them.
PM me regarding the albums you have for sale.
Thanks
Nathan
what do you guys think of these? they have weird toning like a rainbow and hard to capture

That could be handling marks, IE oils from ones hands/fingers.
I have to agree to some point re the toning of coins in the DANSCO Supreme albums, but all coins will tone regardless of how one stores them
Why do I use these albums well the can be stored quite easily and the coins can be viewed from both sides without handling the coins.
The down side is that one cannot get replacement pages that perfectly hold the coins, especially the decimal coins. One must get a page(s) that have holes a wee bit bigger than the coin, thus the coin does not remain in its aligned position. Darn it.
some more

Nice 32 and 33 Florins, you have snagged some winners.!! :yahoo:
thanks rob
what do you think of the 1918 florin? it is ridiculously detailed and has proof like fields. it couldn't be an impaired proof could it?
and its a 1933 shilling
Missed the 33 shilling, plenty good.! I will leave it to others more skilled to discuss the florin. the 46 shilling has some nice doubling on the obverse lettering.! :good:
Florin has been dipped and/or polished, id say it is EF, note the wear on the feathers. Most 1918 florins are well struck, quite similar to 1917 pennies.
thanks dcoin. pity it is dipped, I like it
Very nice 1918 florin.
How did you get the opportunity to buy these?
I'd like to know what you paid for the lot too...?
:)
