Quote from: 'robbiegal' pid='93461' dateline='1469854754'thanks!! great advice
i know a printer as well

There was a mob in SA offering PDF form of the book
possibly IS Wright ? The price wasn't Right though.

From memory it would be cheaper to source a used copy as Neal suggested.

It was AFS Coins at the very bottom of the PDf and it's photocopys not PDF.

Irfinview is good, I use it in conjunction with Photoscape.
(Current Photoscape is V3.7, states compatible with Win 10, not sure about Irfanview)

Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='91329' dateline='1466729278'There are TPG's and then there are TPG's like our friend in port (no not interest :mocking: )

DON'T BLAME ME!!!  haven't been here long enough to get my own coins organized,
does this guy run a shop front?

Sort of shop, its an "Estate Jewlery" type shop on the ground floor
of Port Central Shopping Centre, Colonial Arcade I think.

I don't perticipate in Decimal noodling very often, but,
last night whilst celebrating G/daughters 21st this ugly
"Specimen" took my eye :angel:

Not pretty, just a little surprised they are still "Out There".

Quote from: 'trout' pid='90614' dateline='1465821018'Silver proof set and the wedding set  and placed them side by side the Wedding set coin would stand out as the most technically superior coin out of the lot of them.

Think perhaps the Proof finish is the "Glamour Presentation" :idea:

Quote from: 'Robster' pid='90495' dateline='1465750434'Would like to try my hand at a few pics of these and would then be happy to send them on to someone else if required.:angel:

Very difficult coin to image Robster :dodgy:

The 10c is probably the easiest.

I left them in their capsule.

Yes it is a Perth Mint but that "High Dot" is a Die Chip and a very scarce variety of
the Perth Mint K.G type.

Hello Robbie.

The Obverse of this coin also has a Die Marker, a small fine die crack
running through the top of IND, very similar to the 1920 English Obv Type 1 Dot below bottom scroll.

In High Grade examples there is a light fine die crack running from the O of OMN to Rex.

A coin less than gFine you may not be able to see it.

Benchmark Coin.


My Coin about Fine.

Coin Chit Chat / RE: Newcastle Coin Show?

Still operates, it's a combination Stamp/Coin do. Usually held at the Wallsend Pioneer Hall in Cowper St.
There are a few of the Facebook Nth Qld Coin people involved with it.
Worth a look if your local (I am) but it's no ANDA show.
At times a couple of Sydney based dealers make the trek when the dates don't conflict with other Sydney area suburban shows.
