I didn't know that, thanks Mate.
looks like emu only has less than 40% complete but is nearly there on par with timbertop as far as quality goes with nearly 100% complete.

I was thinking the same... If you look at what Timbertop and M have, it would take a life time or $$$$$$ to get there :idea:

Good luck anyway mate, you have some good stuff there too..:good:

I am a Canberra florin lover from way back and I am of the opinion that it isn't the grade that counts with these coins it is the STRIKE that separates them.
I missed out on a truly exceptional and to my eyes beautiful  coin on numisbid recently simply because I didn't have the "Balls" to bid higher on an at the most AU58 coin that went for over $500.
I truly regret my total lack of commitment because although a lower grade coin it was and still is a truly remarkable coin in it's own right regardless of what it would grade at.
Sometimes your passion and appreciation of a coin is FAR more important than a grade from an unknown entity especially when you are hunting for the best of the best as far as you are concerned as a collector of a specific coin type :angel:
I have a few 3 steppers in mid range MS but NOTHING as well struck as that good EF coin I missed out on through being gutless and I still have bad dreams about that :dash1:

Nothing to do with guts, finance does come into it. I think I was bidding against you.

bastard.
I should say well done but I am not prone to bullshitting, So Bastard stands, or should I say Lucky Bastard.
Anyway on the day you bested me on a coin the we "Both" appreciate for  it's quality and the best man won :cray:
If for whatever reason you need/want to sell this particular coin could you do me the honour of giving me first option on it please :)

QuoteI think I was bidding against you.
Yes you were, I put an opening bid of $300 on that coin as soon as it was listed.
I upped that to $500 when I saw interest then had to front up for work.
The rest is history :cray:

Look after MY/OUR coin because at the end of the day beautifully struck coins like that will outshine an MS66 coin without any dramas :ok:
