I want all your old junk pre-decimal for projects so doesn't matter what sort of nick just as long as it's cheap, cheers.
Will find something.!:angel:
Your an :angel: Robster :friends: actually any old coins would be good so doesn't matter if australian or not, thanks for any help :hi:
well this was very disappoint with all these so called collectors on here and only a few have any junk coins, a HUGE thanks to the couple of member that didn't want anything for them when I was prepared to pay, so much appreciation to the goodies that could be bothered to take the time :hi: Gee anyone would think I was asking for free gold instead of wanting to pay for crap coins that they would have tossed out so please close this thread as well as it shows that there's only a few good members here that will help :(
As I'm going through my error coins, I'm putting aside any that fit the 'junk' description with the intention of sending them all to you when I'm finished.
Currently up to 1995 and trying to do at least 1 year per week, but will hit a problem when I get to 1999, as the error numbers from then on are staggering.
Late 80's and early 90's don't have many though so I guess that's some consolation. :angel:
hey A J , all mine are junk , do you want the lot , but I think the
postage would make the AUST POST the winner ,. ha ha ha
Nancy you are a true sweetheart, thank you but i'm more after predecimal as I want it for woodworking so I was going to buff & lacquer the coins to make them all prerty again so I didn't want good one's and I was after the earlier dates for those born before 66 as I can get them from the pond easy so the decimal isn't a problem. But thank you so very much I really do appreciate the thought :friends: you pair are :angel:
Haha Kel your always good for a laugh and make me smile mate, thank you :friends:
I dare say I've got some pre-dec that are junk anyway. Will have a look see in the next week or so.
Gee much appreciated thank you very much but no rush mate :ok:
I have a reasonable amount of junk pre decimal pennies and halfpennies but they are not all mine. Once I contact the owner I shall come back.
A small charge plus postage costs would be appreciated.
I thought that you had 4 kilos of pre-dec pennies AJ
that is a heck of a lot of pennies
Thanks very much for the offer GS but RG has a point so thank you people but I think I'll be all right as I plan on getting a few more Kg when I have the funding as they cost me about 25 cents each, so all good :thank_you:
And yes it is a lot RG but most are in my collection as this is what scrap I got and there's a few different dates and with a bit of elbow grease they should come up pretty good and I was happy that this is all I got from 4kg :good:

the one's with major dings go to the full on scrap bit to go to the recyclers but anything that can be cleaned up will be and used in my woodwork :)
hummmmm
acid dip might be needed for that lot mate
ps I am going through my coins this week-end so I might end up with a small bag of stuff that may have a tad more lustre than that lot!!
I have a couple of kg of copper/bronze coins that look a bit like those.
Straight ones get an acid dip and polish (sacrilege, I hear you say). They end up as birth year mementos in keyrings and such. I have made a little jig to epoxy a stack of twelve ½d or pennies together -heads n tails ends with birth date showing- and they make very good paperweights.
Here is an AJ project with a couple of dipped halfpenny (birth year) that I inserted.

Gee thanks Jeff it looks good but I should have sent a more red/orangish one and shouldn't have put the hooks so far in the corners but it looks great and the coins come up a real treat, top job I'm very impressed :hi: So I don't see it as sacrilege if the coins aren't any good for much else except little project like these and I use my little buffer and it does a really good job and cleans the gunk off and leaves a more natural colour to the coin. I have used brasso , clr and the like and clr is probably the worst and sends coins a really strange rosy colour but I'm going to have to get some acid..shut ya face belly :)
AJ
I was only joking about using acid ......
I'm not :angel:
not worth doing it in my books
well, not worth what ever the risks are in using it
AJ there is so much PVC on those pennies you should start manufacturing piping [:P] jokes.
A rock tumbler filled with peanut shells or a proper gunsmith shell tumbler would flash up those horrors enough to be good enough for your needs are AJ :good:
