Canberra Florins

QuoteI guess they don't care about the 130 PCGS slabs I bought lately.

There are certain dealers that would be hard pushed to come up with 130 problem free coins that are worthy of getting graded , let alone actually have some in stock for your purchasing pleasure .:angel:

Obviously I bought them mostly from the new guard - Eric, Walter, PP and Chris.

Chris has been in the coin game since 1987 (or earlier)

Yes, I have bought some coins from Chris.. highly recommended.. same as the othe 3 names there... I am hopeless at grading coins, so easy to go with slabbed coins..

Funny that I have bought off all 4 sellers
But only raw coins off Chris even though he was the one who bought pcgs to the aussie collector market (i think)
But we have good taste as I sometimes bid against him at auctions

Are we talking about Chris Buesnell here?

Now, let me see, 2 million times 11.31 grams each = 22,620 kilos :idea:

Yes but he's definitely part of the new guard trout was talking about. Despite the fact that he pre-dates the internet he's not one of the old guard roosters.

Edit: I should add Stuart Andersen to the list of new guard coin dealers.

Smalls Auctions are handled by the "INVALUABLE" crowd so if you registered for
other auctions that use Invaluable such as Nobles then that's probably where they
got your details

OK,Thanks...

OK
Lets get back to Canberra florins Guys :angel:

I sent my Proof like Canberra Florin to PCGS a while ago for "reconsideration", it arrived there 4/3/16 and I sent it as an "Express" submission .
No result as of yet but I am hoping that it comes back with a PL designation instead of the MS with a "Proof like" pedigree as it is at the moment.
I should get a result shortly and will post the results as soon as I get them :ok:
