Forgive me if this question has been raised before but my forum search didn't yield a specific response. Does anyone know where (in WA, preferably) one can take a coin to have its condition and value determined? I have an 1887 5 pounder and would like to get an "official" idea as to it's condition. Ive a coin specialist in the area, but they're "by appointment only" and chiefly deal with rare Aussie coins only. Cheers.
Try speaking to Andrew from Sterling and Currency. I have spoken to him a few times and he has always seemed reasonable to deal with. http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/ He knows his sovereigns. Good luck
Thanks for the rec, Elemental - Andrew seems like a reasonable place to start. Dollars - duly noted. Thanks, friend.
Quick followup: I went and spoke to a chap called Mickel Smits on level 1 in London Court (closer to where I work). He was very personable and forthcoming with info. Would recommend SS'ers to call or pay him a visit.
