1925 Penny Help Please

Hi awalling no its all in my earlier posts. I'm an elderly gentleman, And I want to leave my 4 children and 1 grand child something of real value for them to remember me and mum.

I have 5 1 kg Perth Mint silver bars I bought I want to have a 1925 and a 1946 penny set in them cause there contrast colour to the silver, a florin would almost be hidden so I decided on pennies. So to compliment the silver. And it just so happen it was these dates that were of significant value , A one dollar penny would do the same nearly but its the dates and the value I wanted.

I hope that helps you awallin, I do have some pennies as I like them but I am not a real collector of them. I like florins LOL. I have about 40 or so florins.

The pennies will be set at each end of the bar with a 3rd penny in the centre that will have the centre replaced with a enamel photo of me and mum for them to have hopefully for the rest of there lives. Cornnie I no but you get all funny when your my age.

If I was born in 25 and married in 46 it would make a lot of sense I guess. Yes I'm that old and that is why I don't get out to much these days , I don't like to make a fuss for the kids there just to busy. So I'm secretly doing this so they don't know , I will have a bit of trouble getting to the jewellers but I will work it out so they don't know. I haven't been well of late so I sort of in a little rush to get it organised. But I am getting there.

It is not much money to do really I don't have anything I want so the money isn't worth nothing to me any more.

And I hope it gains value in time for them and is as important to them as it is to me right now.

That's all its about awallin I just want some real pennies to give my children so they remember what me and mum are and what and who they are , Australians. Silly I no but I hope they like it and it does some good for them either morally or financially. Sorry if I bored you awallin with my rant.

That's really nice of you, what you're doing for your Grand-Children. I didn't realise you were collecting 5 of each, your grand children have a great Grand-Father to go through this amount of thought and work for them. You're a great person, with a big heart. I only vaguely remember my Grand-Fathers, as I only saw them up until I was 5. But I have pictures and some memories of them. I think your Children and Grand-Children will love what you have done here, and what you've done through-out there lives. I have a great amount of respect for you sir.

Regarding the refund, if it was done with paypal-the refund will be next to the original transaction. It won't show at the top, just click on the transaction where you paid for the other coin and it should say refunded :). Money can take a few days to clear into the account after a refund. Glad it's getting sorted.

And no you haven't bored me at all, it's nice to hear about. Have a great day mate.

The coin looks OK but just a little bit off centre.Dont forget about
this one which is definately genuine which I found in a bulk lot.I see
you have already had a bid on it once

Maybe not off centre enough to call an error but possibly
more desirably for some people

OK Guys , I would like to report the guy that sold me the fake 1925 penny has refunded my money. He seemed really caring and concerned and fixed it the way ebay said to so I cant complain about him he has done the right thing.

I have purchased another coin and am very happy with the out come. I saved myself from a disaster thanks to all you here and would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who replied and gave me much needed advice.
My new penny is very nice and its real so I'm happy. Many Regards sweetap. PS. If you need to know anything about your car I'm happy to help I have been a motor mechanic since I was 15. Now that is many decades ago.

Thank you Tim yes I am happy. And very gratefull for everything you have done for me Thank you again.

Very true Tim , I have learnt a lot and not just about coins , the whole saga about Australian pennies and copies is a whole new thing and I'm just bewildered to why people would do such a thing.

You get old and just wish the world was a better place , I have loved life and still do but every now and then you get a wake up call, My coin venture sure has given me a big slap in the face. Makes you feel like an old fool at times.

I thought a penny would be just that never give the copy thing a thought at all until I bought that bad one and then seen the fakes on gumtree that rang alarm bells immediately and I was still waiting for it to be delivered, and I had a bad feeling about it after seeing them fake ones. I just new something smelt off.

Thank you Tim , yes others have replied to and I thank them to but you have been very gentleman about it all and I thank you again sir. Regards sweetap.

OH sweet-ap is my old car a 1965 AP6 V8 Valiant a rare car 1440 only ever made and 320 were station wagons. And was the first Australian V8 motor car ever to be produced in Australia. Don't worry I like Holdens and Fords to they just didn't make the first V8 and I love me Mopars. I had a 327 Bathurst Monaro when I could drive but that was a while ago now but my Val is still here 73000 original miles on the clock and I have it registered on club registration but it has only driven to the inspection site once a year for the past 7 years, I have it in my will to give to my son. He gets all 4 cars as the girls do not want them. Yes I have 3 girls and 1 boy and 1 gorgeous grand girl.
