The winning bidder hit the $1000 button when she had intended to bid $750.

The coin will beat me home.
I am stuck up here in the north west for at least another 2 weeks :dash1:
I will get some images posted as soon as i get home.
This has to be one of the best coin purchases i have made this year.

I am now glad I couldn't attend the auction,  I would have bid $1500 for this one " in a heartbeat" .
As it is this only cost me $756 with postage the way it all turned out.
I was actually quite devistated when i first learned that I missed this one.
For me this was a "Must Have" :)

I just had a look at it Trout, well done! It certainly is an interesting coin and I'm glad it's going to live in the 1927 time capsule. :laugh2:

I just picked up 15 Canberra florins for $160, lousy images so I won't know what they are like until I get them in hand.
I will enjoy looking at these .

From my observations these are getting tougher to get in Unc  and the prices have gone up accordingly.
It wasn't too long ago that $50 would secure you a nice MS62_63 coin , pretty hard to get a deal like that these days :ok:

I have just got home and took a couple of rushed images of the Proof Like Canberra Florin I won on Numisbid.
I haven't managed to capture the colour on this coin but the fields are Outstanding.
