latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/12/2009 7:30 pm Another nice penny. You have a nice collection of Australian pennies. Are you an Aussie in Italy, or an Italian with an eye for Australian coins? And great photography by the way. Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/13/2009 11:21 pm I think we would all like to hear the story of where they came from. So many of us started collecting by different means, through gifts from family, inheritance, the history, love of the designs and so on. It is always nice to hear how members got the collecting 'bug'. Report this Post to the Staff
aussie72 New Member Italy 20 Posts	Posted 12/14/2009 4:07 pm In responce to Latman100, the coin collector was my father, being a taxi driver he was able to spot out old pre-decimal coins when working,he owned the cab ,so, he did not have to respond money lines!Dad passed away 2 years ago and now, I'm taking over the small collection.Their is a variety of coins from 1911 till 1960's from pennies , half pennies,threepence,sixpence,shillings and florins. a few decimal coins.OK buddy!

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/14/2009 10:33 pm I am sorry for your loss, but I think it is great you are continuing his collection. I hope at least one of my kids gets the bug so I can pass them on to someone who will appreciate them. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/15/2009 12:27 am Sorry about your loss aussie72, but good to hear that you're picking up where your father left off. Without the next generation taking an interest the hobby would eventually cease to exist. One of my sons is mildly interested insofar as he bought me 2 prized coins a couple Christmases ago, so he'll probably be the one that inherits my collection. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
