Did anyone have the foresight to back up the catalogue and the images from the Master Collection sale in 2015? https://www.downies.com/aca/pages/catalogue_319A.asp (https://www.downies.com/aca/pages/catalogue_319A.asp), http://downies.com/aca/PDFs/319A/Auction_319_RAM_HR.pdf and http://downies.com/aca/Auction319/CatalogueA.html are all broken links now.
Found it by accident today (I was looking for the RBA gold auction catalogue): https://www.downies.com/media/auction-catalogue/319A/CatalogueA.html
This is a memory
Highlight for me was these 2 coins

These are unique, as far as I know, the first unique to 2009 and the second a unique design entirely. The purchaser got them graded, and they would be two of the rarest decimal coins available.

Yes I remember them - they got a write-up in CAB too.
I remember the week of the auction. I was flat out in my shop as well as life. I remember 2 days after the auction finally sitting down for a decent look at the catalogue and discovering these coins and totally kicked myself. Anyway such is life
