Here is my latest purchase. It is the 2016 ANZAC to Afghanistan series of coins.
An outstanding series! Thank you for sharing.

Here are three tokens I picked up in a large lot back in the summer and just getting around to photographing. Can't find out much about them. Could anyone direct me to a reference on tokens of Australia and New Zealand?
Thanks!

Hi ttkoo,1927 PH Florin,i'll throw the reverse up when I get a chance(have to resize).
The Mint reduced die pressure early on in the minting to extend Die life,casualty was the 'steps'.

Thanks, ttkoo! I was able to download it without problem. I found auction prices for the Mulligan and Gilmour, and was very pleasantly surprised!

About 20 years ago a friend bought me this 1985 RAM Mint Set. It's been hidden away in a box until I ran across it today. Is the copper toning on the reverses normal?
