And remember to say you don't want to pay the 10% GST (Goods and services Tax).
Yes, people outside Australia can buy Australian collector coins 10% cheaper than Australians who are living at home. Go figure.
If it were not for the expensive postage, I'd be asking those of you living in the USA to buy my coins for me. LOL.

Mila Cent Sn31 other North American Australian collectors You have been given some good advice above and you will find prospect stamps and coins to be fair in their dealings. But like any item in life you should always shop around. I would recommend you look at Bigfellas Coin shophe is an active member of the forum also look at DowniesDownies has an 800 phone number from North America and a place on their site to select American vs Australian prices and shipping. I support Bigfella for his support of the forum, but I buy from other dealers as well. If you want specifics, email me as I do not want this thread to become a listing of Australian dealers. If we have any other Australian Dealers out there as forum members- let me know and I will be happy to talk about your services as well- I know I have bought from one or two more of you lot. I have the Lunar sets in both Gold and Silver and you can also purchase some nice display boxes for them. Keep collecting those Aussie coins- rggoodie

Mila_cent: The proof 1oz is AUS$75.00 which equals US$58.80 Specimen 1oz is AUS$30.00 which equals US$23.55 (At current exchange rates) Also there is a GST (goods & services tax) component in the prices quoted on their web site, which you, as a non-resident, will not have to pay. So it will be slightly cheaper again. I hope that this helps clear things up a little. 2007 Year of the Pig 2006 Year of the Dog 2005 Year of the Rooster 2004 Year of the Monkey 2003 Year of the Goat 2002 Year of the Horse 2001 Year of the Snake 2000 Year of the Dragon 1999 Year of the Rabbit Good luck with any purchases that you may make!

welcome to aussie coin collecting sn31 , I don't know if you collect predecimals but you should check out the 1927 commemorative canberra florin as it is one of the best designed coins ever and if you only eveer get one predecimal coin then this is the best looking one ever

I agree with PNC King, it is a lovely florin! A nice uncirculated shilling with the Ram's Head is always good to look at too. I love the lustrous sheen on an uncirculated shilling! My will-power becomes very weak when confronted with one.

Hi PNC king,
Pre-decimals are very appealing to me,especially the six pence.
Someone special actually sent me this 1927 Florin,one of my particular favorites!!

I have the Lunar coin set (1 ounce silver) as well as the Kookaburras.
Now, thanks to such great people as Triggersmob and Snooba, I'm collecting 20 cent and 50 cent pieces.
I'm waiting for my Dansco albums to arrive so I can start filling those spaces!!

"Come on, Aussie, come on, come on. Come on Aussie, come on."
Old Australian coin collectors war cry. Used during periods of stress and/or joy. Also popular with some sports fans.
