Quote from: 'Basil' pid='59421' dateline='1411020228'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

Here's a nice set of steps, at VP Coins. No vested interest, it's just after seeing this post I remembered looking at the coin while at Vic's other day.

Nice piece of history there Unicorn.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!

A C  , that was my favourite shop when I lived in Brisbane , not far

away from vic,s store , just off wrecker road we lived near the

 tavern ,  I have a brother who still lives in ham road

 you must live close by , shame we are not still there or we could

 meet up for a coldie .    ,, kel ,,
take care because we care ..

Next time up up that way I'll also have to catch up with you auto, but you can have a coldie and I'll have a sars :drinks:

Not far at all, I lived at Holland Park West down near the bus station, but moved bayside a couple of years ago. Still only 30 minutes from VP Coins though, his shop has moved around the corner to Logan Road, but still in Mt Gravatt Central.

Coldies are good anytime Kel, hopefully I'm retiring soon so plenty of time for a jar with you and AJ, we should do it. Interesting to hear RG once lived in the area as well.

Oops, sorry Basil, back to the steps. When I first got into collecting I purchased one of these coins in CHU grade without realising it had no steps at all. Your coin has two more steps than mine that's for sure.

my great great or something uncle owned the land that is now upper Mt Gravatt , made him wealthy man when he divvied it up & sold it after the war (according to Beryl - my mother ha ha)

lived in Somerfield st and went to (upper) mt Gravatt primary school

I still have family living there
 
I am from Brisbane - born in Herston

and keeping on topic, a no stepper is still a beautiful coin in it's own right and as nice as a two stepper

No worries,i enjoy the banter,usually hang around Forums while i wait for Coins to end on Ebay.
I assumed it was two steps but thanks to that previous link i can see where some do have the third step.I never worried much about these Coins before,i had a bag full of them,but now they're starting to head towards $20 in value i'll start picking out the best of them to 2x2.

I have a nice 1927 posted it a little while ago on the other forum. Think it is one and a half steps on it. From the other forum the general opinion was between a 64 and a 65.

This beauty tho may not be in my possession for long now I'll probably sell it at Petersham in November. Need the capital for the new business.

I would seriously consider getting that coin graded by PCGS before even thinking of selling it RAW Mate.

Yeah I was thinking of that Trout. Still a bit unsure on it but I'll have a think over it.
