Pitt Street token UK token

Hi, picked up a bunch of old coins @ a garage sale and found these 2 tokens in the box .. anyone know anything about these? I hope it's ok to post these here. One is Australian and reads: E.WAY & COMPANY , DRAPERS , PITT ST , SYDNEY on one side .. KINDLY DROP US A CARD OR INSPECT OUR...

The 1927 Parliament House florin is certainly a favourite design. Don't think I have anything as nice as that one early in the thread (YET) .. but like to put them away when I find them.

Australian slang for pre-decimal coins that I can remember ... well these terms were used in my area anyway. ;) Two Shilling (Floren) = 2 bob One Shilling = bob Six Pence = zack Three Pence = trey

Good question, and good answers .. leaves one to think about these things.

The Silver Eagles look attractive. This may not make sense when you see them for sale on the net, but hold one and you'll see what I mean. ;)

Just started stacking so no, but they sure look nice. I like the idea of a particular State or National Park to collect, as suggested by another member, if / when I did look to collect these. Don't know if any dealers here sell them though.

Certainly am Stark . I did fold though and got some American Eagles too ... lol

Like that Kookaburra box ... that's a nice display. Just order some kooks myself. Starting small and see how things go.

Some 1 oz Libertads have arrived, yay !! :) Seller was nice and some came in plastic air-tights, others came in a plastic tube ... so no card board tubes. :cool:

Sorry mate , it was the If they arrive with serial numbers should I be concerned??? from your other post that confused me. Cheers,

I noticed some silver plate (NOT solid silver) JM bars on Ebay being sold by a seller in the UK , these have NO serial numbers. Is that what you are talking about Stax?

Your right DanielM. I found some JM bars and bought before I joined Stacker forum and found links to the sponsors ... got mine for a little too much it seems. Oh well, I suppose it's one of those lessons learned when starting a new venture.

Interesting information and link Dustin ... thanks.

The premium that seems to be on Johnson Matthey 1 oz bars I've seen for sale ... s there a reason for this? Are these JM bars more recognised than other bars @ re-sale? Or is it just because they look nice? Just wondering. :/

Thanks guys. Looks like the numbers are for the Libertad. I've found them around for a little cheaper than the American Silver Eagle too, so leaning more that way now. The Libertad gives notions of Mexican Banditos and the Maginificent Seven for some reason. lol

Only new to all things Stacking, and like the design on both. Is one better than the other to stack?
