Nice work ... sounds like you had a good day.. My day started with cleaning the garage and the bird cages... Ended with nice lunch and few drinks at my niece birthday party... so not too bad...

Considered going along to IAG myself but didn't in the end. Just sat around lapping up the rain as it's been way too long since we've had a decent drop :yahoo:

Rainy Sunday WOW!!!
We have had 279mm in the last few days here in port Macquarie
that's 11 inches on the old scale, all I've been able to do is hope the water goes down, never seen rain like that my shower doesn't spit out that much water.
So watched the Cricket & the Footy all weekend

Went to a 90+ table coin show 65 miles (40Km) away. Purchased 5 more generic silver rounds at $18 each. Also purchased some VG to F foreign coins, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, and Straits Settlements.....all silver. Their prices for other coins were very high....about 1/3rd over listed retail prices. About 40% of sales I saw were people buying bullion. I saw one elderly guy (77-?) plop down $2000 U S cash for (11) 10 oz bars. It was a good show which is held twice a year.

:scratch_one-s_head: don't you mean 105km away as there's more km's to the mile then there is miles to km's :winkextra:

ausjack · March 22, 2017, 09:02:16 PM

All good mate and your always welcome, just remember the new address

Goose · March 23, 2017, 02:16:12 PM

Thanks AJ for the offer of Aussie & Kiwi coins. I goofed on the mile/km calculation. It won't happen again.

ausjack · March 23, 2017, 09:14:58 PM

All good mate as I just thought you were just a wee bit short

I don't have many kiwi coins but any circulated aussie coins I'm sure Steve and I could help you out :good:

Goose · March 24, 2017, 07:49:44 AM

As for trades A J, I have many U S coins......15,000? They are all common with a few semi-common. I have all of the U S denominations from !864 to 1970 and prefer not to trade anything before 1916. Need anything?

ausjack · March 24, 2017, 10:53:59 AM

Here's my want list and any help would be greatly appreciated thanks :friends:

Yes, not a problem Cy.
If you need any Kiwi coins let me know.
I have a few put aside.

I had 2 packages of world coins arrive today,
so I'm set for this weekend. Not sure if it will
be a rainy Sunday though.

it a rainy Saturday up here at Caboolture , but not a Sunday , but that's no problem as it was this time and this day 56 years ago when I said [ I do ] to my lovely wife , and I still say I do to her when she asked me to do something for her . 25 th 03 1961 /25th 03 2017 .
last week we bought a caravan and on Monday , we will go away for a small trip for 10 days or so , just to see how everything goes .
wish me luck will ya please ..
