Title: 1995 $1 Tilted Partial Collar
Post by: Unicorn on May 04, 2013, 02:16:32 PM
I found this one last week (my first) and since the topic is current (Under Decimals) I thought I'd best pull my finger out ......

Nice find!  Amazing that it's seen so long in circulation without someone pulling it out.

Yes, she's showing plenty of circulation wear and ex-pokermachine coin. The boss and I went to the members draw at our local club, she had a flutter while I noodled a few. It was the off centre obverse that made me put it in my pocket. I didn't even see the tilted collar until I got home and looked at it through my magnifying glass. (Describes my eyesight pretty well :blink: even with my glasses!)

I would like to second markn's and accumulator's comments.   Why hasn't it picked out earlier?

I'm constantly amazed at the things I find that should have been pulled out of circulation years ago. of course, then I wouldn't find them, but at least they'd be in better nick, right? ;)

I bid on that coin.  I'd value Unicorn's coin at $50.  Seems to be a fairly standard value for circulated TPC dollars.

Thanks heaps fellas,

I didn't want to start it too high and look like a turkey, but not too low either and end up cooking my goose. Might list it starting around $35. Going to be listing quite a number of coins some time this week and will put up an ebay link when I get there.

Hopfully I'll get a nibble on my Wesleyan Medal that I've been trying to sell for ages. Noble sold one the same for $600 and I didn't get a bite at half that last time.

Thanks again.
