Thanks Walter for that it is amazing and I would seriously consider going hard for it.

Though a quick question how many coins have that designation or proof like as I have never seen it on Australian coins before.

I second that serial. Walter does have a sense of humour :P

By the way trout you can go for the 65+ and I will go for the proof like :P

well I know what I would bid for this coin and I don't have the deepest pockets. alas I don't think I will end up with it but I wouldn't be surprised if this coin touch's $1k
I have never seen that designation on a coin and honestly I would pay for it just to see what it looks like in hand as I have seen proof like florins before but none worthy of a pcgs pl designation

I've never seen a prooflike designation from PCGS on any other Aus coin either.

If I get my way we may see this on the wedding set coins :good:
This coin is unusual because it was obviously struck on a proof planchet but the strike is a bit ordinary .
Looks like a spare proof planchet was tossed into the bin of normal planchets and struck with a non proof die.
I would love to know the story behind the minting of this particular coin.

the guy said he'd do it for $100, it had $120 on it, so I got his phone number if you want it, its in a sticky 2x2 and I don't know if its been cleaned, it looks shiny, and has a blob of something in the parliament window, I took pics on angles, no massive marks or wear, might have had a dip? its nice and I don't know enough to say its had a clean, there is no cloth marks on it, but I know to look at the orbs for wear, they look good, and 3 steps!
there is 7 huge pics ill add them as is
