Dollar coins

[purplepennyhunter]

I looked through quite a few of these coloured Black Caviar coins yesterday to pick a good one and I don't think they've done a great job with aligning the colour. Lots were out of whack.

I think me old mate in Lismore looked after me with this one :yahoo:

The colours look like they were stamped slightly to the left too:dodgy:

I was at Southern Cross when his shipment arrived. Had a look at them all, and I was not even slightly tempted to add one to the big box of stuff I bought. Overpriced substandard souvenir crapola, in my opinion.

But this 1988 UNC dollar with the multiple cracks and big cud on the other hand... an absolute steal, as was the obverse half of a 1972 10¢. :yahoo:

All the proof you need that 'Proofs' are "Cool".

I think that silver is the best metal to make coins out of as it looks far better than the ali broze or cu/nickel :ok:

OK, OK... here ya go:

NICE picups Fulvio:yahoo:
Now all you have to do is find the other half of that 10 cents:angel:
I scored 2x 1984 and a 88 in pristine condition a few weeks back in a $50 noodle, I'm not sure if it was from someone's collection or the mint dumped some of its leftovers into the pond?

[Fulvio]

Oh wait, you didn't want to see my messy desk? Well, alright then.. how about these?

The 1988 with cuds:



The 1972 half 10¢ (5¢?)



2001 rim cud from today's haul:


And a little bonus I got when I dumped the rejects today:yahoo::

I bank at Westpac :dash1:
looks like you bank at errorbank :yahoo:
Well done Mate :good:

I think these sorts of things are probably drug-***ed losers spending stuff they stole from us. Or maybe disgruntled wives depositing star notes and the like.

And yeah, I now need not one, but TWO of those Reverse halves, the other one to go with the 1978 I posted a couple weeks ago.

I bank at Westpac

Oh noes!!!!! Is THAT why I'm getting so little?? Noodling all your rejects? I'll have to go back to NAB methinks.

cool cud
they are worthy of the Friday Photos thread Fulvio

is that $5 AA 81 - does that mean that it was printed in 1981 ?

[Fulvio]

No, they were first issued in 1992, in the range AA00 to AB19.
The year numbering started the following year.
