    Antique Sovereign Scales

    They are not big at all, the box for mine is only 100mm x 20mm x 25mm a lot smaller than they look.

    Where is the best place to have coins graded in Oz?

    From an email received by Stirling and Currency - "The Australian numismatic industry has suffered two high-profile casualties in the past 18 months (John Pettit and the Rare Coin Company), and as salacious as that fact is, I'd venture to suggest that most other sectors of the Australian...

    Where is the best place to have coins graded in Oz?

    Coin collecting in Australia has gone to the turds... Several key players going down. Why would a company put a branch in place here in Australia.

    Antique Sovereign Scales

    I had a couple of these and sold one on here to someone who I think has since passed it on. I kept the Harrison one which also came with the box, so was pretty happy with that. In hindsight collecting them may be fun also. Nice work AEL

    Start collecting pandas

    Vintage ten pound note, worth anything? C33 900001

    I do not collect nor know a lot but from what I can see it is around 1970 - 77 (Page signature) it looks in UNC or aUNC condition. A one pound for that year looks at about $10, and a specimen is around $110. So I would think a Ten Pound could be worth more. The run number of 900001 would hold...

    Found a box of old coins in the garage

    Everything depends on condition. If you say "original condition" 1958Y. It could be worth a few dollars, it could be a proof even, if so then you have a few extra dollars. The silver plated ones are really just for show and ruined any numis value. Unless it is a 1930 or 1925 otherwise keep for...
