Picked this up from the post office today, I don't normally go for the coloured silver But I think this one deserves a place in my collection of 1oz coins.   |

Hi appleangel07,

Let's just say as a total noob to this - I have no idea - can send you a higher res image if you want - ones in question are the 1943?

Its a good starters collection to build from. Lucky you.. I also think those threepence's look a little like miss strikes but it may well be the photo. Are you able to take closeups of those?

Thanks for the closer pictures. Not miss strikes but still good old Aussie silver coins.

More nice coin  Did they model the reverse images from photographs? And one of the photographs was of your grandfather? |

Hi enworb,
Yes, they model the reverse images from photographs. I have a copy of the photo hanging up at home.
