G'day Folks, Happy Australia Day Long Weekend (and now, of course, a long weekend is very Australian ) Hope it's been good so far for everyone On offer this time around, and in what may very well be the last auction offering from me (heading back to work next week after a somewhat extended R&R lol), are some very nice Lots of Silver Goodness...in keeping with the "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie" occasion there's a Colony(?) of Koalas and a collection of 1927 "Parliament House" Florins ...to go with these, and with Valentines Day fast approaching, there's also a Melody of "Love is in the Air" coins/rounds, some "Lucky" Ganesh rounds and to round it out some "Currency of the Apocalypse" Zombucks rounds Auction finish starting at 18:00 WST (20:30 SA / 21:00 EDST/ 20:00 Qld) - Sunday 28th January...TONIGHT!!! ALL Lots finishing at the same time!! *With the usual "5 minutes after Final bid" actual finish for each particular Lot (Forum Timestamp used) * Any valid bid for a particular Lot extends the Finish for ALL Lots!! ie. The Auction will be Officially over once ALL bids have finished!! *No edited Bids, please the Forum does indicate "edited" when posts are edited (look above the "Quote Reply" right hand side) so if you make a bid and it turns out the same or lower than a previous bid please place a new post for the bid to make it higher rather than "edit" the post with the unsuccessful bid - although editing to clarify a Lot # is fine * Due to no "seconds" showing on Forum timeclock any duplicate bids with the same timestamp will be "first in line" gets the spot ~ SPOT RESERVE - Highest bid over Reserve price will be the winner of these fantastic pieces! Postage at Winner's Choice/Cost/Risk (at this stage...) 1st BONUS – Win 2 Lots and I'll throw in a 1966 Fiddy (or Free Post, your choice ) And without further ado, on to the Auction... Lot 1 - 10 * 2013 Perth Mint 1oz Silver Koala $1 coins - Reserve - $215 *These are all in great condition, loose but encapsulated, and will come in a "special" tube Lot 2 - 15 * 1927 Special Edition "Parliament House" Florins (Pre-46 & Pre-Decimal) - Reserve - $110 *Total ASW - 5.05oz and all in excellent condition...and all over 90 years old now Lot 3 - 1 * 1/2oz PM "Forever Love" boxed Proof 50c Coin & 1 * 1oz SBSS "Love" Round & 1 * 1oz SBSS Boxed Proof "Love" Round - Reserve - $55 *"Forever Love" comes w/ CoA (#1468 of 7,500) - SBSS "Love" Proof comes w/ CoA (#1120) Lot 4 - 3 * 2012 1oz Silver "Ganesh" Rounds - Reserve - $65 *Note - Rounds still in OMP packaging although one of the rounds has a small split in the packaging that has caused some "contamination" on the "Ganesh" side of the round...other than that, all look great Lot 5 - 5 * 1oz Silver NWTM Zombucks "Currency of the Apocalypse" rounds - Reserve $110 (2017 "Walker" & "Morgue Anne", 2018 "Zombuff" and 2019 "Slayed Dollar" & "Dying Eagle") *Note - These rounds all display various signs of "milk-spotting" (the "Dying Eagle", which is unencapsulated, more than the others)...although, to be fair, these were the harbingers of the Zombie <Milk-Spot> Apocalypse at least you know they're silver lol Thanks for looking
