    Welcome Back and thanks for the bid @hardyakkagold (moving back to the front (briefly ;)) for Lot 4 (The Sovs) :))

    Ahoy, Welcome Aboard and thanks for the bid to @madaw1 (raising the stakes on Lot 2 (Pandas) :))

    Leader-Board

    Lot 1 (Olympics)Still in the Starting Stall…
    Lot 2 (Pandas) – $302 / madaw1
    Lot 3 (Hutt River)Still in the Starting Stall…
    Lot 4 (The Sovs) – $907 / hardyakkagold
    Lot 5 (Sov Holders)Still in the Starting Stall…

    Will update the Auction Post with some better pics as the auction progresses :cool:
    But to dig a bit deeper on some of the offerings that are (for now :oops:) not receiving as much love let's start with Lot 1 (Olympics) :D

    $200 - The Gymnast Gold Proof

    $20 - Team Relay Silver Proof

    $20 - The Champions Silver Proof
    20210605_135624.jpg 20210605_135641.jpg 20210605_135608.jpg (Thumbnails click to enlarge)

    As you can see from the attached pictures the Gold "The Gymnast" and the Silver "The Champions are both slightly "overweight" o_O AGW - 0.55oz / ASW - 1.01oz

    These were released for the 1996 Summer Olympics (held in Atlanta, USA) and celebrated 100 Years of the Olympic Games with only 7,642 Gold coins minted!!

    There were only 27,488 each minted of the $20 Silver coins and the $20 Face Value (and 1oz ASW) makes them fairly unique in our Australian Coin history :eek:
    Gold Coin Mintage
    Silver Coins Mintage


    The coins also have a Reeded edge with the lettering "CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS" (Faster, Higher, Stronger) :cool:

    Welcome back and thanks for the bids @madaw1 (reclaiming the high bid spot for Lot 2 (The Pandas) :)) and to @hardyakkagold (determination and relentless counter-bidding sees him back out in front for Lot 4 (The Sovs) :D)

    @sonypony still holding the card for Lot 5 (Sov Holders) :)

    Still Lot 1 & Lot 3 left at the Alter (Starter's Gate) unloved and forlorn like jilted brides (maybe a bit dramatic :p)...these aren't "scrap gold n silver" under spot items but beautiful, collectable and rare pieces of Australian coinage history o_O
    Where's the love? :oops:
