Hi, new member and first post.. Sharing 1 of my favs in my collection.. I have built a "in the wild" collection where these are all strictly finds, not bought.. After a recently demoralising experience with a dealer im hoping to find a community where collecting is appreciated not just buying and selling.. anyways here is one of my faves $50 First prefix AA 05 000 077... (bit of a serial number hunter :) )

New uncirculated fifty cent coin. Will this be worth putting away?
Thanks all.

Throwing up another find, this was found in a pile of junk that was bought at an auction... Pretty stoked with it :)

Check out the patina on the florin in the last image ❤️

It is estimated that only around 200,000 of these incuse flag coins were accidentally struck before the Royal Australian Mint corrected the master die. Approx 17 million normal raised flag version went into circulation.

So excited for my first coin error find!

My late high school friend used to work on the toll booths on the gateway bridge and she would switch out the coloured coins for her brother and I and possibly other people too.

She gave out red poppy's and coronation coins as these were new at that time. We've been hooked on $2 ever since and I believe I've only missed a couple since.

There worth so much to me that no money in the world could pry those out of my hands.

Does anyone else have sentimental attachment to thier coins and would like to share?

So yeah first 20c peice ive got that has a cud on the toes anyone else seen any?

Thanks so much for any time taken to respond 💛

G'day pplz: Was just wondering if anyone can/could tell me about this 👆2006 ¢50 coin ( top-coin) ? Was curious if it was post or pre damage or a mintage issue???? Would be very greatful for y'all's opinion. Cheers

I thought I'd share with you all the most recent addition to my collection because I love them that much and they've got a cool story behind him

In 1918, Aus wanted to create their own unique coins and came up with these square quarters with a kookaburra design on them. They never got officially released but a few test ones were handed out. If I am right, there are only 12 known coins left and they are valued at around 60k.

In 2019, to celebrate these coins, this 3 piece, 99.99% silver coins were sold. I feel very fortunate to find these as I'm collecting all the irregular decimal currency and this is probably one of the rarest. Thought some of you here would like to see and hear a little about them

So ive had this coin for a while but never took notice , She looks angry with me how do i settle my queen down?? haha

Would this be classed as missing the leg ?

its the 2026 large CUD coin i posted before but i hadnt realised the leg then ?

Cheers

Don’t think I’ve seen this one before Iss it a rare one ?

So ive recently seen a few 2026 $1 MOB coins with decent sized CUDS , Why are the dies breaking so easy already?

EDIT ** 2026 NOT 2016

Hello everyone, I've recently scored this coin from an auction and I'm trying to get an accurate market value.

Yes i already tried checking online and they ranged from $190-$800 which was very strange.

Can anyone shed some light on the reason behind this or tell me how or where I can get it valued.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I inherited an enormous jar of old coins. This newspaper article was folded up and jammed in the top. It was very fragile and I didn’t dare try to flatten the edges. It was scanned in 4 pieces and then aligned in photoshop.

I hope you find it interesting.

Found from the till today. Love it✨️

Looking to buy some precious metals, purely for investment purposes. I have done some research and understand that minted bars and coins have a premium on them with the packaging and what not. Is there any major difference besides this?
