I endeavour to keep my collection as a basic type-set of Australian coins, but it's quite frustrating given the rate at which the mints produce commemorative coins.  I am only interested in coins released into circulation - so I don't bother with most of these (e.g. the many Anzac variants, the motorsport coins, the endless alphabet releases), but every time a new coin is announced - e.g. the Indigenous Languages 50c or the Repatriation $2, I need to try and find out if they are going to be released or not.

Can anyone point me to a reference website or similar that makes it easy to know if it's a circulation coin or not?

Thanks

I usually trawl Ebay to see if i can find any bargains but have found it getting more pricey of late, apart from that I go to the local estate auctions to see if there are any collections going and have been to the Noble auctions once which seemed like a lot of good deals went under the hammer but need to do a bit more research there.

Are there any other ideas for picking up reasonable priced coins for my collection?

Or is it just a matter of looking and being in the right place at the right time?

I have been collecting for a while and would like to look at slabbing some of my collection. i would also be looking to buy coins with the aim of slabbing them. I haven't done this before any advice or help would be appreciated.

As a start :

Who is recommended to have the coins graded and slabbed?
How much does it cost?

What sort of coins should I target - pre-decimal or decimal? or is this irrelevant?

I have some mint Australian pennies i was looking to start with - i'll dig them out and post them here for comments as a start.

any other comments/tips/hints appreciated

Is it an original 1966 cleaned up and repackaged, or a coin minted this year? Or just a fresh angle for the presentation card?

Australia’s first 50 cent coin was released in 1966 when decimal currency was introduced to Australia. The original 50 cent coin was round with a design by Dr Stuart Devlin AO CMG that featured a kangaroo and an emu facing each other with the Australian Coat of Arms between them.

The coin’s obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The original 50 cent coin was, and remains today, the largest and heaviest Australian decimal coin.
