Hope they fit the bill A.J.! I think copper coins and wood are a great match.! Even a small wooden wall plaque with a coin set into it would probably sell at a local market.!
Look forward to pics of the finished products.! Have you considered using plastic coated hooks.!!:idea:

No good spitting the dummy Mate :to_pick_ones_nose_eat:
It's all your fault I am going for these, If you had of kept stumpf until you had em all all would have been good :angel:
I was having my normal (when I am at home) 3 can bath and I realised that I needed the wedding sets for the Specimen coins.
I have the Business strikes in all my decimal sets and most of the proof issues also a few silver proofs, But the only specimen decimal coin I have is the Captain Cook 50 cents.
So armed with this resolve I headed straight for fleabay and made some tentative bids to acquire these beauties :ok:
I am sorry if I stepped on your toes mate but when I want/need a coin I put the blinkers on and head down arse up I go for it :angel:

This is a direct result of waiting for Isolations and permits on night shift, eBay at 2am can be amazing sometimes :)

Actually the 2008 set was a gift from you-know-who :yahoo:

Yes a run of coins 53,54,55,56,57 and 58 in nice condition :good:

Now all I have to do is get this lot into 2x2's and packed away in their respective albums :angel:
