[matttheriley]

UPDATE: Better Pics below!

So, I'm new to Australian coins, but this one's good right? :yahoo:

Can you give me a grade and value?

Thanks!

Yes for that year and denomination a very nice example.
The reverse does appear to have residual verdi present.

Grade, Aussie VF a little too much wear to go higher.
Sheldon maybe XF40

Value don't know, not very many are offered in this mid grade
but probably achieve A$150+ on ebay with no problem.

I will second that grading. Value wise I would put it at $100-120

I'd like to know where you can get a coin like that for $150 as the
ones Iv'e seen in that condition are at least double that if you can
find them. I have about $300 tied up in this one

Stevo! Don't get my hopes up! I wonder if it'd be worth having graded?

[robbiegal]

I agree with Steveo
that catalogue value is $700 and rising - easily a VF
but happy to offer you $150 for the coin!!

[stevo1962]

Definately get it graded as they are very scarce in VF+ ,as Robbie said look up the value of XF40/45 on Bluesheet

[robbiegal]

I think that I can see hints or better of the 7 and 8th pearls. That is one mighty fine coin and I'd almost crawl over broken glass for a 1915 like that one. It's a keeper mate ... but the offer of $150 still stands!

Here we go: Better Pics!

I can see 8 pearls and not too much wear .
EF AU50-55 easy I would think and a fantastic start to your Aussie collection.
Well done Mate :good:

[stevo1962]

Yes they are much better pictures and I'd say AU50 as a minimum grade
which puts it over the $1k mark

I won't tell you how much I paid for this!  I got it in a trade where all of the other coins I received easily covered my cost on everything I sent.  The buddy I traded with knew it was a key date, so thanks to him!  Passing good mojo his way!
Ok, now I've got to send it in.  I guess I better sign up for PCGS.  Or, do you think that NGC or ANACS would be just as good?  Where is the market for this coin.  Mainly OZ, right?  What 3rd party grading company do you folks prefer?

PCGS is the only choice for grading IMO so if you are doing only 1 coin it might be easier to go through an agent/dealer.The big market for this coin would be in Australia but there would be some interest in the US.Ebay would be a good option if you are selling or even this site

It looks better than Very fine to me, somewhere in the extra fine area as it has 8 pearls.

Now that coin would look  nice in my collection.   My address is on the way.

No just kidding, the second set of pictures look like a totally different coin from the first pickies.

Very, very nice indeed.
