Starting my Penny set.

Fr45h3R · January 06, 2014, 05:30:17 PM

After receiving some great coins in the mail today off a collector, I've decided to start my Penny set. I'll start off easy, and see how I go!

1964 Perth

1964 Melbourne

starting from the top and going to work your way down?
a good way to roll out 2014

1964m pennies are the most attractive of all pennies in my opinion, great way to start your collection.

At this point in time yep.
Will start off with QEII. Most coins are affordable so it shouldn't be too much of an issue with those ones.

Great project Mate :yahoo:
If you aren't looking at making the set all MS/Uncirculated I am certain that many of our members have heaps of pennys and half pennys hoarded away in buckets, bags and jars that could help you out in your quest

if the 1964 penny pair are setting the pace then i'd reckon an unc set will be in the making

from my experience the QEII isn't totally easy

the 1959 m, 1953 M & P and the 1957 + 1960 P will require a bit of chasing for nice uncs

Ok, so I'm a bit stuck on 1964 still :angel:
1964Y - The marks on reverse are highlighted by the light, barely noticeable on the coin itself.

1964

these aren't the same coins as above or are they?

Fr45h3R · January 14, 2014, 09:32:09 PM

Nope, different coins, from the same collector though.

Go for it Fr45h3R.

I started on ages ago but run out of puff and ended up buying slabs, lol

Thanks Lacey. I'm still buying both slabs and raw coins. Here is one I picked up today from Eric. Great looking coin!

1958Y

1959Y

The 59Y is a nice one for the year. They are a mongrel to find in anything better than scrubby UNC.

A great start Fr45h3R
