Lovely coins Trout- I have a feeling your area is now the third largest silver mine in the Country.!!:blush:

On my last count I have 146 differant standard size $1 coins, That is most likely only half of the buggers if I am lucky.
I am not tempted to look at PP's website on the dollar issues (that would be far too scarey)
I am slowly catching up with them as I didn't get fair dinkum with decimal coins untill 2 years ago.
Between the buisness strike,proofs,silver proofs and nclt coins, There is a whole new world of collecting out there for us die hard pre decimal buggers :angel::yahoo: :dance2:

I find the $1 and 50 cent collections the most challenging = the most fun :dance2:

Yes can be challenging. I don't collect proofs. Love my )1 and 50c albums

Yep 10 cents downwards is a little Booring:angel:
I love the look of the proofs and silver proofs next to the buisness strikes in the album, It tends to make the page come alive :yahoo:
I want to get every differant $1 and 50 cent coin ever made, It is a big challange but hay why not.
The saddest day of my life would be IF I ever finaly did complete my $1 and 50 cent albums in minimum grade choice Uncirc .
I am enjoying the thrill of the hunt and there is so much to hunt for at the moment :yahoo:
I completed my pre decimal sets ages ago and got stuck into the decimal stuff a couple of years agothinking "dead easy" bugger was I way off the mark in that assumption :dash1:
With the decimal cions it is NOT unreasonable to aspire for the top gaded coins. with the predecimal coins that is simply a pipe dream.
I do however (if I have the funds and can find a better coin) always try and upgrade my predecimal sets :good:
I have had so much fun over the last couple of years getting together my decimal sets I have sadly neglected my predecimal sets, BUGGER IT I'm enjoying myself and thats what it is all about as far as I am concerned :dance2:

Nclt or circulating?

trout · April 09, 2013, 08:27:24 AM

Unlimited mintage

Goldseeker · April 09, 2013, 09:57:13 AM

NCLT-Same as all other carded coin/foldered coins. Further, even Downies in Melbourne haven't got them yet.....just a new release issue.

enworb · April 09, 2013, 11:36:23 AM

I cant see there being much interest in that coin.

trout · April 24, 2013, 01:08:37 PM

I got the 2004 masterpieces in silver set today.
These are the stand out coins in the set :ok:
[attachment=1737][attachment=1738]
[attachment=1739][attachment=1740]

The Mintage numbers for the 2004 set is only 8.250, so these coins are pretty unique :yahoo:

trout · April 24, 2013, 02:28:20 PM

I may be a bit weird but there is just something about the standard sized $1 coins that gets to me :angel:
I have just finished putting away the new coins I got today and did a head count in the album.
I now have 180 different $1 coins and 29 of these are silver proof coins.
I have a looong way to go to complete this set but I AM slowly starting to get quite a comprehensive set together :dance2:

Goldseeker · April 24, 2013, 03:17:12 PM

If my records are correct Trout, you should end up with 35 Proof Silver $1 coins of 25 mm diameter and 233 Alum Br $1 coins. I am not sure how many of the larger ones are available.

One that you will have to get is the Smithy $1 coin with the foldered $20.00 Note. The coin is not available by its self.
