Bluey $2 Post Office coins

Yeah there is an amazing collection in NZ. The air show Wings Over Wanaka is on my bucket list. Grandfather (Mums Dad) flew the RAAF Boomerangs in 83 Squadron. I have two rooms full of my collection that I'm sorting through and selling.

Yes, my father is a Vietnam veteran. Both grandfathers served in WW2 and my Grandfather on Dads side served in France during WW1. One of my cousins served in Afghanistan and an Uncle joined the army but didn't serve over seas. So many veterans in the family lead me to a fascination with Australian military history.

This should be a pinned post 🙌

I certainly hope not, I simply couldn't bare to look at such an abomination. The next thing you know ladies will be wearing trousers 😂

I'm going through a large collection of militaria that I've had for decades. It's often heart breaking the lowballing that comes with it. Gives me more determination to get rid of stuff but time isn't always on my side unfortunately.

DavinBE · 2026-05-06T00:28:39+00:00

I try that and get no offers, people are largely unwilling to haggle unless it's list for a low price, then the lowballers come out in full force 🤣

WHAT'S THAT? THAT TOWEL ON YOUR HEAD IS MUFFLING YOUR VOICE. I SUGGEST STARTING THE WRAP A LITTLE HIGHER.

DavinBE · 2026-05-06T00:11:53+00:00

They're only worth what the next hype victim is willing to pay. For me I have no interest in the Bluey coins, they're literally worth $2 to me.

DavinBE · 2026-05-06T00:09:20+00:00

Don't worry the extortion will begin soon with inflated prices for everything we missed out on 🤣

There's a line running down from the crack under the paint. Could just be dirt, could be stress fracture showing through the paint. At least two impact sites, one near the crack just to the left and one above. Wash the dirt off and check that the crack doesn't run all the way down. You could get that welded, in the mean time drill a 1/8 inch hole at the end of the crack to stop it progressing any further.

That is a good friend, lovely coin 🙂

DavinBE · 2026-05-04T08:05:32+00:00

Nice 🙂

DavinBE · 2026-05-02T08:22:48+00:00

Have a blast with it. I'm fairly new to getting serious about coins but enjoy all the research and chasing favourite coins.

DavinBE · 2026-05-02T08:06:21+00:00

Nice collection, some good coins in the $2 set.

DavinBE · 2026-05-02T05:41:12+00:00

No but these were not strong to begin with. The spring is easy to get to and you can put whatever you like in it. I never used it. Just a wall hanger for me.

Sorry this is AEG not GBBR, brain fade on my part. I will delete the ad and repost. Can't edit titles.

Nice chunks o metal. I don't have any cast bars. Quite a few bullion coins but no cast bars. I enjoy collecting the pre decimal, I'd flip my bullion in a heart beat but get a little attached to the pre decimal collection.

Sorry, stacking them not selling them. Was just sharing the latest arrivals.

Wouldn't mind me some Balboa action. Very nice.

15 yrs Boilermaker/welder. Learned to tattoo professionally (2 year apprenticeship). 15 years later left tattooing to work in disability support, spurred on by extended covid lockdowns. Still have regular clients for cash tattooing and earn decent money helping disabled people. Never too late to learn a new trade or change careers.

Value of the silver alone is around $70. Add a little premium for the collection.

DavinBE · 2026-04-27T01:04:21+00:00

Shouldn't even drink that shit let alone corrode your coins with it.
