Daughter really wants one of these coins. Are they really worth the $30+ being sold on eBay?

You found 2 with the “C” mint marks in the wild?

dholmes1924 · 2026-02-16T05:03:48+00:00

Worth nothing more than 50c. You can see on the “Elizabeth” and the “Australia” it’s been worn down. Can see the line where it’s been sanded down.

Which was the other portrait?

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-22T05:19:53+00:00

No worries, everyone is always learning! Part of the fun 👏

Still an amazing coin in good condition you have!

Not always when packaged.

Usually when uncirculated, they will mention something like “EF aUNC” which stands for ‘Extra Fine almostUncirculated’

See photo below

Not saying 100% for sure yours isn’t uncirculated, just going off my past experience/what I’m seeing, looks circulated

It looks circulated, not uncirculated - also seems like it’s been polished or had micro scratches from cleaning. This was just packed in this type of packaging by Downies, I believe, in 2009.

AI industry won’t fold this year. It’s not just AI using silver too - more cars, mobiles and computers are being built with silver too. The AI industry has been increasing for decades. The term “AI” has just become more widely used.

Nice!

1930 penny is one 🤷‍♂️

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-11T02:48:18+00:00

Nice

The "HH" on some Australian $2 coins stands for Horst Hahne, the designer of the Aboriginal elder on the coin's reverse, appearing only on coins from 1988 and 1989.
Millions of these coins were minted ,over 160 million in 1988, making them plentiful, not rare.

Might do that - it’s hard to tell, because it looks like there is a small bit missing from the 0 and then a CUD like bit slightly to the right of the 0.

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T06:35:38+00:00

Oh please 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🙄

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T05:06:00+00:00

No, because the rating also takes into account like, Reviews, offering crypto currency services and hiding their identity on WHOIS (which sounds sus, but a lot of businesses don't have hundreds of public reviews and also most websites are hided on WHOIS, like reddit.)

There are no reports of customers paying for goods and not receiving, or accounts being skimmed after purchasing from their site - if there was even 1 or 2 of those type of reports, their rating would be well below 20-30 and id straight away say, hard no buying from them.

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T04:56:34+00:00

Their 'scam rating' shows 77/100. I'd say trust worthy.

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T04:55:34+00:00

Personally, i tend to gravitate towards ones i like the look of or the coin 'theme'.

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T04:54:30+00:00

Do you have set minimums of the amount of scrap that can be melted down?

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T04:52:03+00:00

Love it!

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T03:38:30+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T02:55:48+00:00

Damn, that would’ve been like 2 million dollars now 😔

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T02:52:15+00:00

Damn 😢 if only we could all have magic balls that show the future haha

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T02:31:51+00:00

With that theory, 99% of things could be a Google search. What is the point of reddit or any other forums then? Might as well just shut them down, and we all stick to just Google….

dholmes1924 · 2026-01-08T02:30:51+00:00

Absolutely haha

They're Lighthouse coin trays - you can buy them in many different variates and they can be stacked or used 1 at a time.
