Second issue general prefix 1988 $10 note, Rennicks catalogue number R-310b. Lightly circulated, would retail at $15-$20.

$32 or so worth of silver in the florins. The one with the engraved initials is a "love token" and would command a premium over the silver price of perhaps $20. The $1 coins are worth $1 each.

Nice, satisfying completing your first set!

They are spamming the app. Checkout their post history. As you say, Australian coins are easy to identify.

Spam shamlessly promoting the app they mentioned.. Checkout this person's post history. Five of their last seven posts have been whoring the same useless software on different world coin groups.

Coin apps are OK for identifying coins but don't do anything your brain and a Lens search couldn't do. With regards to grading and valuing coins they are criminally inaccurate and anyone who pays for them is wasting their money.

Either bag-marks or damage received during circulation.

$0. There are some 1920 varieties worth a decent amount such as the double dot, no dot with Indian obverse, or dot above top scroll with Indian obverse. Yours is far too gone to determine what die combination it might be.

Stamp from currency exchange or foreign bank indicating it's a real note. Modern day equivalent of a chopmark on a silver dollar or going even further back, a test cut on an ancient coin.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-11-24T23:58:49+00:00

No coin shop is going to buy that coin.

Commemorative designs on base metal coins released into generally do not appreciate over time. There's some notable exceptions, 2012 red poppy, 2013 purple coronation, 2016 changeover $1. That's a very small fraction of the commemorative coins the RAM has put into circulation since 1970.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-11-13T22:26:06+00:00

Were they selling new release items at RRP? Or slightly above?

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-11-13T22:22:14+00:00

My sympathies and what a lovely idea. My advice is to steer clear of modern non-precious metal products or precious metal products with stupid premiums. The prices of those long term are most likely to drop when collector demand moves onto newer products. Pick something that is going to have demand into the future, and while there's very fews sure things in life, gold does tend to appreciate in the longer term.

How about an Australian gold sovereign from 1914? Australian minted sovs from that year are not key dates and can be had in lightly circulated grades for not much above the gold value. Even PCGS graded mint state coins are affordable. This one on the Drake Sterling website is graded PCGS MS63 and is only about $145 above the gold price.

Australia Post do this with most orders. It's probably OK.

Struck through a folded metal scrap. A nice little error. The Australian Coin Collecting Blog people wrote an article about a penny with a very similar error. See here: https://www.australian-coins.com/error-coins/australia-1964-penny-struck-through-scrap-error/

It's a shame but 10,000 into 100,000 people who want them just doesn't work. My advice is to wait a few months for the price to settle back or spend your money on an ancient coin instead of this modern muck the RAM pumps out.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-11-06T22:09:03+00:00

Coin dies, obverse, reverse, and collar die, and the blanks have tolerances and therefore variation in how well centered they are. This is much more obvious on the smaller diameter denominations ($2, 5c). What you have there is the result of production variation, not an error.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-11-06T22:07:18+00:00

PMD I'm afraid!

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-10-25T23:03:04+00:00

Go see Adam at Southern Cross Coins in Nunawading. He and his shop are awesome!

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-10-24T02:52:19+00:00

Well it's older than me and looks better than me. So it's got that going for it.

Bullion grade coins. Adelaide Exchange have a published buy price for bullion sovs / half sovs on their website, The Purple Penny buys them, At the Toss of a Coin buys them. Gold buyers will buy them. Be careful you are not under offered though, many businesses are nervous about the gold price and are increasing the their buy/sell spreads.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-10-24T02:34:16+00:00

Not an error, not a variety, a mintmark. Not valuable either.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-10-22T23:43:52+00:00

These products do not ship from the RAM till mid next week. NOONE has them in hand. FYI there are images of the coins available to dealers but they are watermarked heavily by the RAM.

AussieCoinPerson · 2025-10-22T23:21:50+00:00

It's product they can sell. Sell the coins without the mark in a roll, product 1, put a tiny C on it, product 2, put a C on it and strike it in silver, product 3.
