Sorry, kel, but it is, technically, illegal in Australia to mutilate current (i.e. decimal) Australian coins in any way, unless you have a permit to do so. And I can't imagine a jeweller obtaining a permit. Section 16 of the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1981181/s16.html
Sections 17 and 18 of the Act prohibit their sale and their possession for sale. It is not, however, illegal to import them or to simply own pre-mutilated coins with no intention to on-sell them.
It is, of course, perfectly legal to mutilate Australian coins overseas. Did you import these coins from overseas? If so, then you're in the clear.
sorry sapyx , for the missunderstanding , but i have never said i was selling them , i buy them only because i like them ..
please type ANDY JENKINS in google , he is in silverton nsw , 26 kms outside of broken hill nsw and he has hundreds of them for sale ,he has a shop called the tin shed and he has bus loads of people
{,, tourist,,} that call in and buy from him ,. he will even do a sovereign for you if you supply the coin .. i bought a silver dollar ,coated in gold off him for my wife and she still wears it around her neck , only the gold coating did not last very long and now the coin and chain have turned to silver colour ..
the rest of the coins were bought from overseas in usa and posted over to me , i am still waiting for another 5 to arrive here from usa ..
go to bongo beads by etsy on google and you will see hundreds of them to , from all over the world for sale . most of mine are from USA QUARTER DOLLARS ,.. BUT THEY WILL DO ANY COIN YOU SEND THEM .. this is what comes with every coin you buy from them .and if you ask andy jenkins , he will show his letter from the aust gov allowing him to carve them,. the only coin he will not do is the aust 1988 dollar coin and i can understand that .. i hope this has explained to you how i think about carved coins ,,. cheers ,, kel ,,
[attachment=705][attachment=704][attachment=703]
andy will also do florins for about $ 155.00 silver and $ 165.00 gold
shillings , sixpences , or any coin you want carved
any ones that he cant get , he will carve for you if you supply him with the coin ..
i dont think i can add any more info for anybody but his site is worth going to and having a look around ,. he shows the coins and also the prices on his site .. good luck .. ,, kel ,,

Had you poster your reply earlier, I wouldn't have minded. To decision to start the selling my excess Mules and Upsets was taken weeks ago well before we decided to book the cruise.
I currently have a Mule and Upset on ebay at present. The Mule is going through the roof.
hi SAPYX , thanks for that info and link that you passed on to me ,
i have saved it for future references , and as far as i can understand it , i believe , i have nothing to fear from the law unless i sell any carved aust coins in current use , what i am not sure of , if i bought an australian current in use coin that has been carved overseas by sid and lee ,
say $ 1.00 mor ,i can import it into aust no trouble , but what if i was pulled up with it hanging around my neck ,and i can prove it was carved in the USA then am i still liable on not , or if i was to sell it ..
a little hard for me to understand .. ,, kel ,,
I never ever received the last 10 I ordered from usa lost my money for them .
now the sad news , we were over on bribie island at the markets a month ago and I had my bag of carved coins with me ,. I was showing a stall holder my lot of carved coins and I put them on the table in the canvas bag and showed him them one at a time . then he said I will show you mine so I left the bag on the table , looked at his then walked away , forgetting mine ,. did not even miss them till earlier this week . so now gone forever , but they are carved coins , so who ever got them cant buy things with them , and would have a very hard time selling them .. so maybe just maybe ??
over $ 500.00 worth .. ,, kel ,,
(a) in the case of a person, not being a body corporate--$5,000 or imprisonment for 2 years, or both; or
(b) in the case of a person, being a body corporate--$10,000.
I was talking to a mate the other day about this and told him if anyone wants to know I'm a body corporate from now on :mocking: double the money is better that 2 years :good: White collar crime should go for more of a row not less..ending rant before I start :)
I know it's a long shot and probably impossible Kel but did you try and contact the person..we have had some bad luck on the forum in the last few days..not good, not good at all :(

Kel - that stall holder will probably keep the bag of coins awaiting you to return for them
