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.

Great find! :yahoo: :wavemulticolor:

I'm also a little surprised it's been in circulation so long too,it was meant to be yours Unicorn,nice find.:good:

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?

Ozcoins · May 04, 2013, 11:55:42 PM

Just did not fall into the right hands?

I agree with everyone else- looks quite spectacular in the photos, finally found a good home.!:yahoo:

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?

Unicorn · July 21, 2013, 04:39:45 PM

I might also be listing this one ...... any thoughts on a value?

Any help appreciated ........ yes, Robster, even you.

Hi Unicorn, here's a listing that ended today http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200941190497?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 a fair bit better condition then yours but i thought it went cheap.

That did go lowball, nice looking coin.
I recon uni will do OK as he has timed it for when most people get their tax returns :good:

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.
