1927 PH Florin..2 Steps?

Basil · September 18, 2014, 03:33:48 PM

I've never really worried about these Coins in the past but would this be classified as a "2 stepper" ,2 and a bit or is it just plain old Vanilla one.?Thanks

This will be very interesting as I'd really like to know as well so thanks heaps for asking the question Basil, nice coin mate :good:

I suppose it depends on what you class as a step and bet everyone have a different view as to how many there should be, does the top become a step or not?

Well done AJ for keeping it constructive. I've been looking at heavyweight politicians to help explain the right side of the second step, but thought better of it.

(I stood on the landing above that when I was about 7 and took a photo of Lizzie (QEII) visiting from my Dad's shoulders ...... must get a copy of that photo when I visit my parents next).

2 steps for sure :good:

ausjack · September 18, 2014, 03:58:19 PM

now this second step is that going up or coming down the steps :blush2:

so they only have two step and the landing ISN'T classed as a step so have I get this right now :scratch_one-s_head:

:laugh2: .... We might have to get RG to duck over and take some snaps for us.

I know I was on the right side of the steps (about 2 people back from Lizzie) and she was coming up the steps in the photo I took. I can't wait to see the photo again. Crikey that was a while back.

btw: Nice one Basil!

I don't know for sure just how many steps are at the real building because I have never been there, Its a lot more that 3 though.
The original coin design has 3 steps in it and normally the more steps the better the strike :ok:

There is quite a lot of discussion regarding the steps here.

You're an absolute legend RG!

Thanks so much!!!

I can see where I was now just to the right of the top three steps.

Wow! I remember there wasn't a lot of room and I had to get on Dad's shoulders. (He was the school bus driver on that excursion ...... shout out to Kel for the Bus Drivers!!! ..... Dad was a driver and the bus fleet mechanic from around 1967-2005 ....... got ya now Butler .... prior to that he was one of the local NRMA men 1950-1967).

He was one of the last persons in NSW to have an authorised inspection station that used paper based inspections forms.

Yes, computers were a bit too much for him .......

Thanks RG, so just one question for when I finally get down mate and that's who's gonna get up and get that unicorn and I'll drop it off to out unicorn on the way home..bags not..looks like it's Mr RG then 'cause there's too many steps, I'll hold the ladder for him

Yes, computers were a bit too much for him

Don't worry Uni I can relate mate :winkextra:

robbiegal · September 18, 2014, 06:54:59 PM

jeezuz mate
the fed. cops are everywhere in those places
even I wouldn't try to pinch the unicorn - not even if you filled me up with a WHOLE bottle of this brandy https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_381954/martell-l-or-de-jean-martell-700ml .... well, maybe i'd bring the ladder and the old man could do the getting arrested bit

looks like the Australian white house to me , but I don't see

Neville Bonner there any were ,

he was the most honest polli ever .. ,, kel ,,

Unicorn · September 18, 2014, 07:12:59 PM

:laugh2: ..... RG, you might have to track down Dawn Fraser and get some climbing tips! ROFL

ausjack · September 18, 2014, 07:16:38 PM

Might be cheaper to get a couple of the young local roughians to take it for a flagon

Come on Kel we know there's no such thing so I know your pullin me leg now, like the other day with the rabbit ears you old trickster..hope you went well today, not long now mate :friends:

no Kel
Mr Bonner has gone to rest with the Elders who went before him
I liked him and knew him when I was young teenager
I used to talk to him about his aspiration to become a politician, my mother said he was just a mad ... you know what - fancy him thinking he'll become a senator
I really admired him
and I did a jig about hip hip hooray - when he DID become a senator!!

UNi - all I can do is LOOK at ladders - I'd fall off and your unicorn would not only be confiscated by the Feds but it would be a broken one too from my falling flat on my face - and that would be before I'd polished off the $5 grands worth of brandy!! ha ha
