Welcome to coin Maniac2 and anyone else I may have missed.

Hello,

I am Chris from the ACT. I have been putting aside the special coins for a while now and recently started trying to get more Pre Decimal / and a range of them to replace some that were stolen from my GF. I recently bought a 1938 Crown, which is in great condition. It makes me wonder if it is fake though. They are a big heavy coin, so I would think that many were not used daily. What do I look for ? I also just ordered some of the special Florins, and have recently bought several Kilo's of Pennies and Halfpennies. Still many gaps in the collection though.

Regards Chris

Hello,

Thanks for the welcome. I will try to Post up a Pic of the Crown later. Now for some Coin stories......   ( I like them ! ) Many Decades ago I was helping a Mate restore a 20's truck. In the engine, a Coin had been used to replace a welch plug ! When he Reco'd the engine, he left it as is. He also came across a wedding ring turned ( machined ) out of a Coin. I thought for my Woman's 50th I would get a Coin from my collection from the year of her birth. A nice Florin. Had nothing. After some research, I found out 1965 no Coins were made as they were getting ready to go decimal. I have also bought a number of coins I wanted from Ebay recently, I would prefer to swap with others  though. I have extra 20 cents from the Centenary of Federation. ( Tassie ) I know this isnt a swap area, but I thought I would make mention that I would prefer to swap rather than sell to enlarge my collection. ( and help others do the same )

Regards Chris
