I just had a brows through my NCLT 1,5 and 10 dollar coins and noticed that I am lacking a few of the 1 0z silver Roo coins :dash1:
I lost the impetus on these a couple of years ago when I started to get Dinkum about my decimal sets and have ignored these until now.
I have picked up a couple I need today and will endeavour to complete the set by the end of the year at the latest :good:
I love discovering projects that I have forgotten about and re kindle the hunting urge to get the coins I need. :dance2:
Have any of the rest of you got projects on the back burners that you have forgotten about?
These are the 2 I picked up today :yahoo: :dance2:

Yep, I need to complete my Australian sovereign and half sovereign collection. No money is what stopped me for now. I have 21 sovereigns and two half sovereigns so I have a long way to go.

I have a grand total of 0 gold coins :cray:
The NCLT,pre decimals , decimals, Canadian and US coins keep me too broke to buy Gold :dash1:
One day I will get around to getting a couple :good:
I also forgot to mention the rest of the $200, $150 and $100 Gold coins that Australia have produced.
Good pickup on that 2nd coin trout.
I think all those gold plated in this series is worth collecting. Unfortunitely I too have got distracted and gone on to other coins.

Don't start trout, it's a slippery slope!

Like you, I had a grand total of 0 gold coins, until this one minted.
probably the only one I will be able to afford.

I am seriously thinking of selling some of my more valuable coins and asking the buyers to pay for in gold. I wonder if it will work?
Coins I would be looking at selling are 1930 Penny, 1923 halfpenny, 1921/22 Threepence, 1966 20c Wavey Line and stuff like that. Maybe one of my overprinted VIP HMAS Sydney 11 Folders as well.
you might get that sort of trade from a dealer?
I reckon youd struggle to get a deal like that on ebay and the like. A dealer would be your best bet for that kind of trade i reckon.
If I had some good coins to get rid of I think I'd hold off a little until thinks picked up as the market seems a bit slow in some areas ATM, but then how long do you try and hold off because this so called GFC doesn't look like it's gonna end any time soon so it's all a bit iffy.
I did manage to get an 87 mint set at the markets last sunday so now my 1 & 2 cent are complete so I have got one done but so many to go..just so many :(
All I'd ask the buyers to buy the 1 oz gold button, I would pay the difference and do a swap. if the 1930 penney sells for say $25K then I could get 16 x 1oz buttons.
Seems simple enough to me.
Interesting concept- If you don't try you will never know I guess.!!:idea:
just think about all the Canberra florins I could get with just that one penny :drooling::drooling::drooling:
wouldn't a good canberra (parl house) proof cost nearly as much as the 1930 penny?

Yes it would but I know which I would rather have :yahoo:
400 proof Canberra florins were minted compaired to 3000 of the 1930 pennys.
yeah, i'd like one too
one day i might find one in an auction 'lot'

I have bought heaps of these with that thought in mind every time I get a bulk lot.
It's one of the things that keeps me getting out of bed in the mornings :good:

It has happened.:yahoo:
There is an ebay ID perthpunter who is currently
trying to move his Impared Proof '27.
From memory I think perhaps our "Walter"
may have been asked to originally ID the
the poor thing before it was sent to a TPG
for conservation and slabbing.

found it
very interesting
not quite so sure about all the 'guide' argie bargie bizzo in the description
coin hasn't sold, so there isn't a hammer price to go by for the changing of the guide prices for valuations?

jeepers- i just looked at his other listings - $4,000 for a $1 'mule' AU55 and just on $4,000 for one of those 2006 error proof sets
maybe the impaired proof IS overpriced!!

The last impaired I've seen was a SEGS slab PR58
Noble Auction hammer price $950.00
If this coin is a genuine Proof Strike(Impaired)
http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot/?id=291745
Then the $7k+ is little bit rich for the ebay listing.
thanks for that
the description isn't exactly convincing 'possibly proof like'
the values for impaired proofs is a bit murky really
With Status Auctions having a Unsold Lot 6472
at $5k + 16.5% Commision:dodgy:
http://www.statusint.com/result_coins.php?id=64
Maybe some where between $3k-$5
Either number is too rich for me:angel:
thanks for the market research tips
might be why the seller was offered the ebay guy $3,500 - if that is about the going rate
jeepers, those proofs are just lovely
hummm ... back to my daggy circulation lots ha ha
being a true blue collector can have it's downside .....
but every now and again, i find a nice one that the dealer hasn't spotted
