It's a bit worn, but came at a decent price
240.00
left it in a glass of 50/50 water / washing up liquid for a month, then rinsed it under the tap.
No rubbing , just tap pressure.
Came up nicely

It'll sit nice next to the latest Perth mint ones I just bought.

;)
 
Lol,

fair comment

Digital Camera power lead lost, will have to be a phone photo
I'll upload pictures later today.
Going to collect an 1864 "shield", Die#59 in a bit as well :D
 
No matter how I try I can't get a decent photo of these coins :(

Any suggestions?, iphone and a friends digital camera just won't focus on something so small as to show enough detail.

BTW the 1864 shield has Die No 69 not 29 as I first thought
It came up very well after 24 hours in some soapy water.
Not a scratch on it !!

There's a comedian over here in UK advertising another 1867 Australia for 995 :lol:
Its condition isn't a patch on the one I bought (for 240 !!)

Gotta shop around :cool:

Bit small, I'll crop it and re post.
Head side to folow (if the IT guy doesn't kick me off)

:D

Got the hang of this now.

Am at work, 1989 set photo's next week.
1864 pics tomorrow (Security wants me to "Sod off Home!)
 
how much does that coin weigh?
it may just be me but those details look a bit mushy
for instance look at the A in "Victoria" it is fat an undefined
 
No idea of exact weight .

Purchased from reputable bullion dealer (Atkinsons) so would assume no jiggery pokery.
Maybe someone hit it with a hammer at some stage in its 150 year existence ?.


I STACK Bullion.
I COLLECT sovereigns.
This is part of the collection, so i'm not too fussed about it being underweight/less than MS whatever..

Nice, hard to find coin.
No more, no less.
Now, the 2011, 2013 and 2014 Perth Mint Proof Australia sovereigns I have...........
They're worth getting Anal about.
 
AU 50 or better.

**Don't take my words ask for second opinion, just learning to do grading. So I can send my stuffs to PCGS.
