The 38 is very nice and looks PCGS 65 to me.
I dont think the 41 would get any higher.

Many thanks for your input !

So what was so bad serial as they don't look to bad really as the only thing I can see are the 66 2c and 72 but still pretty good..gee I'll take them

Nice results Mate
:wavemulticolor:

[serial]

the 72 should have gone higher
as should have the 50 proof
and the 66 2 cent proof wtf it came from the same un molested proof set. altered surfaces my arse
the incuse however makes me happy and the 69dc 5 cent

I would say the incuse coin would be the pick of the bunch and by far the toughest coin to get.
Well Done, Can't wait for some images when you finally get them back from the states :good:

[serial]

yes the incuse was the one I was sweating the most about. it will be put in my collection for long term storage next to my mule. out of interest and because I need to assign a value for my insurance data base could you give me an idea how much you think it is worth? you are the go to man on these coins

[Australian coin]

you should note what you spent for the coin and that's about it.

insurance should be replacement value

a quick eBay search >> ungraded cheapest sold for  $14 average $24 from circulation and $56 being highest
graded coins are a bit harder >> APCGS $46 - $89
PCGS approx. >>$300 but no sale confirmed Best offer accepted - no price shown

[serial]

I know what I paid for it but it dosnt take into account the time I spent looking for one.
I am sure trout sold 2 of them recently in the au -ms range

I sold a MS62 coin on eBay for about $1200 a while back , I regret doing it now but what is done is done.
I think you would really struggle to get one of these in MS62 for under $1500 so that's what I would use as a figure for the insurance company :ok:

[serial]

thanks trout, that's what I need for insurance and to convince the missus to let me send a new batch off

[Australian coin]

wooow

[serial]

I think trout once did a write up on them and what he said made sense to me. that finding one of these in ms is hard as the variant was discovered quite late in their circulation history so the only ones that have survived in ms are accidental hoarded coins. A bit like the one I sent off that came from a collection someone had put aside every year from 1966 in the year they were released. they just happened to accidentally put an incuse aside and sold it to me 14 years later
look at the great pics they took :dodgy:

that brings my total top of pops to 22
granted I own the entire population for some but who is looking at that

NOT a very flattering image at all Mate
