Title: OH NO, really?
Post by: interest on November 10, 2015, 10:40:01 PM
So I've moved house, I'm now up on the mid north coast.
Comes time to start unpacking coins,,,,I've got some crapolla here!
Now I must have had more money than sense, as I'm unpacking I found this Silver Proof Sydney to Athens don't know why the hell I own that,, $77.00 it's sort of pretty? It's got colour on it! ARGHH

Sometimes small amount of colour can be tastefully used in the design. Thought this one is quite nice...

The War in the Pacific one is bit of a missed opportunity.
