    Help identifying coin please

    Hi all, Does anyone know what is this coin? Not sure if it's Chinese or Taiwanese. My mum mentioned it was used as legal tender back then. It's chunky, i don't think anyone would want to carry too many of these in the pocket.

    Favourite fractional coins

    Me thinks the best fractional Au/Pt is the 1/10oz coins. It has the most face value per oz, e.g: 1/20oz = $5FV = $100FV /oz 1/10oz = $15FV = $150FV /oz <---- highest 1/4oz = $25FV = $100FV /oz 1/2oz = $50FV = $100FV /oz 1oz = $100FV = $100FV /oz 2oz = $200FV = $100FV /oz What's yours?

    =[EOI] Group PCGS grading

    Hi all, I found a company in Syd that does the service for PCGS grading. Apparently the grading will cost $35 each for coin of value <$300, and if we have over 20 coins, the fee is reduced to $25 each. Not sure if the price is competitive, so any input will be appreciated. I only have 6 coins...

    2000 1/2oz gold proof nugget with 2001 reverse?

    Hi guys, I picked up 1/2oz 2000 proof nugget, and just realised the reverse is of the 2001 version (but it has 2000 written on it). Is this right? The dealer said that it's supposed to be part of a coin set. Any experts, please shed some light. Many thanks!
