Just finished my Alphabet dollar set. Very nice Dearborn. They do look spectacular! I haven't really started on decimals yet. I think I have two alphabets only - an L for Lyrebird and an R for redback, picked up in pocket change. When I come up for air I'll see how I feel about moderns then. And after that who knows... maybe I can start with some wheat cents, Morgan dollars.... the US choices seem endless. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Ttkoo may be interested in this ttkoo is definitely interested. That is a mighty fine 1915H and about two miles in front of the one I offered previously. The 1910 sixpence is also a wonder to behold given it is 112 years old. Very nice indeed. Here are a few of mine which need a bath in some acetone, they are out of their old pvc album for the first time in probably 45 years. I think my 1915H is nearly up to yours, the 1914H is more worn, as is the 1939. Again, all purchased this year for $1.56 each, so pretty happy with the whole transaction. 1914H Florin Mintage 500,000   1915H Florin Mintage 750,000   1939 Florin Mintage 630,000   The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

In with a big parcel of British coins I got today. Maybe not that exciting to some, but was a nice surprise.   |

1937 and 1938 Australian Crowns Very nice crowns! I love that 1938 one!  Here is a 1937 crown I recently purchased. The toning isn't for everyone, but I love the originality of this piece. The colours make it something quite special, in my opinion, as this denomination is not often seen toned. The coin has a great proof-like look to it in person!      |

I absolutely love those coins too. My 1937 Crown is very average, high VF/ low EF and possibly cleaned.   It was the first proper Australian coin I brought back in 2019 for about $30 My 1938 however is a much better piece and cost me $300 last year.   This is AU and definitely one of my favourites. For some reason I went for all the big rarities first before filling in more mundane gaps with my Predecimal Australian coins. I added a 1934/35 Victoria and 1932 Florin to my line up before the 1911! And I still lack a 1939! |

I think that me buying that 1937 crown has sparked my interest for crown sized pieces again, so I think it won't be too long until I end up purchasing one!   |
