I don't know anything about aussi coins, but I would suggest you add a picture of the other side, I am sure the experts will ask for it. Also is there something specific you are wondering about? Your picture is not large enough to be able to see the details very well. Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah,unless you have specialist camera gear its probaly best to scan the coin,if you don't have a printer/scanner most Libraries will let you scan to a USB stick. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't have any info re which combination is most desirable but there are plenty others who would know. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
UberDan Valued Member Australia 95 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 12:35 am Normally you are looking at about $5 for a 1920 with no dots or with a dot above the bottom scroll, then for a dot below the bottom scroll you are looking at $20, but if you get a dot above the top scroll or a double dot, well, your looking at about $200 for that coin.

nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 09:22 am The coin imaged looks about VG grade. As it has flat based lettering (FBL) it might be any of the dot combinations. In this grade it is worth perhaps 2 to 3 dollars if it is a no dot, dot below or dot above. More of course if it was a dot over top, double dot or had the English obverse. As the dot below is the most common type the $20 claim in another response is wrong, in this grade a double dot is about 20, an English obverse about 40-50 and a dot over top 100-150. If it was a dot above with English then expect over 2,000. It needs a better image to be sure of the dot type and an obverse image would help.
