Show And Tell Aussie Coins

That coin looks like it has a very odd shaped rim around the bottom,almost a flat area then a bit of a lip at the very bottom,photo illusion ?
Very nice condition but it just looks funny around the IND:IMP on the obverse & under thr CRO on the reverse,anyone else see this or is it me ?

Hi here are some of my latest purchases.

1887M Sovereign





1918 6d





1927 Florin





1910 3d





1910 6d

i agree the 1910 3d and 6d look fantastic and that sovereign looks like a beauty congratulations

I have a similar feeling, but consider a few things:
- the photo/scan appears to have been taken under fairly uniform light so lustre wouldn't be evident regardless if natural or cleaned
- colour isn't always accurate in photos, it could be a case of poor use of white balance
e.g.:

(this is a golden red coin photographed with poorly set WB - it appears to be roughly the same colour)
- that grainy look on the reverse, while at first glance appears to be corrosion which has been removed, may very well be caused by over-zealous use of a photo sharpening tool.

Your coin should look like this if it was a naturally red coin:

Thanks for the comments, the 1910 coins are part of a type set I am trying to complete.

Here are some more purchases.

2000 Victoria Cross

Thank you, trout!

I recently received 2 of these coins,i like the design but I think I would like to have seen the obverse legends with the polished finish like the effidy,would have really popped I reckon.

Well, just recently I have finally found the last of my "circulation" 50 cent coins from noodling my change. The South Australia "Centenary of Federation". Nice to complete it . I have attached an image. I think a lot of the coins are in good condition. In future I will check my change and try to replace the coins that are not in the best condition.
