If it is OK with Mark and PP, How about the dealers on this site listing their web page so that we can support them instead of going elsewhere :good:
If you think this is a dumb idea tell me , I have thick skin :scared:
Sounds good to me.
I propose Peter Strich for starters. Found him very good.

The Purple Penny in Adelaide is my first recommendation.
Top grade products, reasonable pricing and above all friendly and helpful service
I am not Kissing butts here, I have bought a few things from this mob and have been super impressed with the quality and help. :good:
I've had had good luck with At the Toss of a Coin in Adelaide, IS Wright in Melbourne, Stuart Andersen in Melbourne, and Andrew Crellin in WA. The Purple Penny has some nice stuff too but I don't trust the owners.

You are an idiot Mate cos I do :yahoo::whistle2::ok:
Mark you can't say that because we are the owners. People who don't know that will get the idea that we are shonky.
All Purple Penny coins are personally picked out by us and are lovingly tucked into bed each night. Those that aren't in PCGS slabs get a comfy pvc free home.
I recently cried when I saw someone is onselling one of my ex-babies.

I did however replace it with another new child from I S wright another Good dealer.
PP you are great I can even get you to send stuff to other people for me, I realy apreciated that :give_rose:
As no one else has yet.
Walter - //www.numisbid.com.au / //www.bluesheet.com.au etc etc
Eric - //www.drakesterling.com.au
Eric has been great to me. Offers layby purchases, plus submits coins to PCGS on my behalf.
And Walter's numisbid auctions are well run and offer a great range.
Both Eric and Walter and more than happy to offer obligation free advice.
Also will give a Chris B a mention from Pacific Rim Auctions, It's well run, and he always has a nice offering of tough coins. As a beginner just over a year back I found I got the best advice from him, even though it wasn't what i wanted to hear. I'm glad he told me how it is...
I have bought coins from Walter and Drake Stirling, Both professional and helpfull people.
I also recomend them to anyone :good:
I've also been lookin here https://www.kjc-gold-silver-bullion.com.au/CT/australian-bulk-silver-coins--pre--post---rounds-/68 and here but it's all about $$$ ATM http://www.globalcoins.com.au/categories.php?category=Silver-Bullion-%252d-coins-%7B47%7D-bars and here's a place I want to look at only 'cause it's one of the closest to me http://www.coins-stamps.com.au/ and I've been lookin here as well http://www.thepurplepenny.com/?ref=3dblog :blush2:
Yeah looks like I'm the new bad boy in town so lookout :diablo: trouts to busy :give_rose: ya'd better look out Mark, he's a sly old fox :biggrin:
ausjack the first link are people from silverstackers (they are bullion dealers) THE BIG BOYS only play with them, I have tried but they are big and scary and sell in bulk only.
Not from trying, but they can be hard to deal with if you don’t have the money they don’t play.
If you are into bullion, I suggest having a play on silverstackers, note they can and will be mean to people that don’t play the way they like. The forum over there can really turn on people.
If you want to buy bullion in bulk or just a coin or two I can point you in the right direction.
Thanks AC, it all helps mate :thank_you:

Sexy bullion :) (and stackable)
I've purchased from www.coinclub.com.au before (I think they are the same mob as bullion club). They are pretty good, it was a pre-order on the opal koalas, and when i got them, there was some Silver granules with it, which is their frequent buyer program, you get a little bit of silver per $100 you spend.
At the toss of a coin in Adelaide is my first stop for coins. The few occasions i have purchased from PP it has always been great as well!
I have also found Gerry at 'The Toss of a coin' extremely helpful and a visit to his new premises always proves to be a 'kid in a lolly shop' experience.!
This is Gerry's new At the Toss of a Coin (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/09/at-the-toss-of-a-coin-brighton.html) shop.
It's on the far far other side of the city for us though.
Question without notice- does any of the Adelaide based collectors attend the monthly meeting on the fourth Thursday in the city.?

PPH and I attend occasionally. We'll be going to the meeting this month.
Thanks Mark, will make the effort, I will be the quiet one in the corner.!

You should come. It's all very non-threatening and if you're quiet you can be quiet with me.
I was wondering about that and considering coming. Who runs it?
Quote from: 'enworb' pid='6039' dateline='1357687872'I was wondering about that and considering coming. Who runs it?
The meetings are run by the Numismatic Society of South Australia. Usually the meetings are run by Mick Vort-Ronald who is ably assisted by Barry Newman. Attendance is usually anywhere from 10-20 people. Meetings run for about 1.5 hours. They include regular meeting stuff like approval of minutes and so on, but also include a run around the table for a brief show-and-tell for some item each person can bring in. The meeting is followed by tea/coffee and biscuits. Everything is usually wrapped up by 10.
I might come along to the next one if rob is going then i wont be the only newbie
Excellent, bring a show and tell. Richard Welling (of ye olde coin co) is usually there too, he's very welcoming.
I'll have to think of something interesting. Do they like errors, aussie, world, what ever?
They like anything. Show and tell items range from photo copies of banknotes right through to foreign pocket change. Don't limit yourself to coins, anything collectable will be welcome.
Our bags of "junk" silver include a mix of average circulated coins. The pre can be heavily worn, however there aren't any bent or damaged coins among them. Nothing great, just honest batches of coins.

Excellent, thanks very much for that acrellin :good:
Thanks for the plug. (Eric, from www.drakesterling.com).
I might mention Alan Stead at AFS Coins & Investments. Very good service with a recent transaction.
He has stock of out of production Dansco albums that nobody else has. And a good selection of British Colonial, Fiji and New Guinea coins. I bought some Fiji Pre-decimals to finish my set and his prices were mostly well cheaper than what people are asking on eBay for them.
