Thanks for all the responses.

It will give my old mum a lovely surprise to know about the 1925 and 1931 pennies.

I might even try to pick up examples of the pennies I am missing.

Thanks again for the responses and advice.

Thanks very much for the responses Gentlemen.

Is it possible to get an approximate valuation for the 1925 penny?

Are any of the others posted worth more than a few dollars which I should keep seperately?

Thanks for the responses.

Here is a higher res scan of the 1931 penny.

Can it be identified as Indian issue?

Thanks for the responses.

Is the 1931 the "Indian" obverse? from what I can tell from the net the "N"'s indicate that it might be.

Apart from the 1925 and 1931 pennies is there anything else I should separate out for further investigation?

After a web trawl it looks like the 1914 and 1920 issues are worth a little bit more than the average issues as well.

Thanks for everyones assistance.

and finally a 1951 half penny

I havent posted a number of other coins from the 1938-64 period as I dont think they are particularly scarce.

There are also a few British coins and Aussie silver coins, threpence, sixpence, shilling but all from 50's-60's and not scarce.

Here are some of the George VI coins which might be of interest:

Thanks for the reply Gentlemen, I didnt know that the signatures were significant, I learnt something new.

That's all for now.

I skipped some of the coins, examples which based on some correspondence I have had with a coin collector are unlikely to be as interesting but I will post the dates here for interest:

1929
1934
1934
1934
1935
1935
1936

I might start posting some of the 1938-64 examples a bit later.

Thanks for any suggestions on what to do with them.

Can anyone identify if any of the coins are any of the following which I have been advised are the more interesting types?:

1919 Double Dot
1920 D/D & Top Dot
1920 London obverse
1921 London obverse
1924 Indian obverse
1927 Indian obverse
1931 Indian obverse


I also have the following halfpennies which I can post pics of if anyone is interested:

1911
1917
1921
1921
1938

Hi members,

Doing some cleaning up and came across my mothers coin collection from just before decimal came in, mostly pennies and half pennies.

All the coins have been circulated but there is a 1925 penny in there.

I have been a war medal collector for a number of years but am way out of my depth with coins.

I wonder if members could have a look at the pics and tell me if there is anything I should keep seperately? Otherwise I will just keep them together for the grandkids if they are interested.

Australian Pre-Decimal Coins / Consecutive AUD$2

Hi Members,

I am doing a bit of a clean up and came across my mothers coin collection from just before decimal came in.

I will be posting some of the Australian coins 1911-64 in another thread but I also came across these consecutive $2 notes.

I have been a war medal collector for a number of years but have never dipped my toes into coin/paper collecting.

Can anyone inform me if these notes are particularly unusual or desirable to collectors?

Can a year of printing be determined from the numbers?

Is there a value in the collectors market for such an item?

Thanks for any responses.
