Mr Gee spent time in prison and whilst in lost most of his fingers to bolt cutters whilst a guest of HRH. His forgeries are now as collectable as the coins he intended to copy. Go figure.

markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 04/24/2006 5:55 pm I dont mind buying the sub $100 coins on the net but the big ticket items I'll be travelling interstate to purchase. I haven't decided if I'll be getting a 3d 21/22 overdate but if I do I hope to do so at auction just for the thrill of it. Report this Post to the Staff
