I somehow managed a sub-VG8 GPA and still the finest sets in the category.

Oh someone beat me already :(
This will put some value on AU58+ graded coins - those are what you need for the top sets.
What? No images? I'd love to see what it takes to get a top lowball set.
I just got the grades so it'll take a few days for images, the shillings have images already.

Would it be impertinent to ask why you went to the expense of slabbing what are virtually bullion grade coins? :huh: Only thing I can think of is that you as a dealer (and boss of Bluesheet) want to build up a reference collection of pre decimals from Poor grade up to the top to show clients what they can expect from submitting less than Unc coins.
Most of my coins are crap so if I had the money I'd get my collection graded and give you a run for ya money Walter :)

I didn't get any in Poor. :(
Low grade pre-decimals are one of the most widely collected Australian coins out there and it seems such a shame that collectors can't get their coins graded because it costs too much for collectors to get them individually graded. The decimal coin market is alive and kicking because modern coins can be certified cheaper which shows that at about $20 - $30 per coin there's a market which I think can be reproduced for certified lower grade pre-decimal coins.
I'd going to introduce discounted rates for PCGS grading in the future for low grade pre-decimal coins (under $100 value will likely be the cutoff), I think I'll be able to get them graded at around the same price as modern coins, I still have to look at how much this batch has costed me all up but I think I'll be able to do AUD 20 - 30 per coin in the future.
