Was that Hanley and James book the one that went for $7.00 a week or so ago? Must have been another one. I was the only bidder at $6.00. The other book was $6.50 (and combined postage discount with a US Statehood Quarter folder too at $7.50 -OK, I know I could buy one direct from Whitmans but postage from US makes it expensive).

The oldest Australian coin book I have is The Australasian Handbook of Coin Collecting by Alan J. Patterson (1982).
The oldest coin book I have is Renniks New Zealand Coinage Guide by Dion H. Skinner (1966).

I remember Tom Hanley well.
He was one of the nicest and friendliest gentlemen ever to be associated with numismatics. My daughter remembers him well also. She was only about ten years old at the time she met him. She is now thirty years old.
She said that he would make anyone's ideal grandfather. He was that sort of nice guy.
Enormous numismatic knowledge to boot.

I own a copy of the Hanley and James book; it came from a Library disposal sale, with a Chinchilla Library stamp inside it. I well recall borrowing the school library copy of this book for several months straight while I was in primary school in the early 1980s. Quote:taken from an old coin book I have , Quote:

I picked up Renniks guide from 1966 & Seven Seas Stamps guide to Coins & Tokens from a ebay UK seller,he included them with some Oz coins I purchased off him saying he no longer had any use for them.A dealer offered me $50 off any coin purchase for the Renniks guide so they must be fairly rare. 1930 value is similar to the OP,$350 for VG through to FDC-BU(Lustre) $1600.VG 1925-$6,VG 1946-$2.50, so the 50% ratio still applies today but the 1914 is listed as $2(VG) so that ratio to the 1946/1925 has crashed.

This is the one I missed.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/COLLECTING-...t_500wt_1182someone got a bargain  In the last Downie sale, the original 1921 issue of Arthur Andrews book on Australian tokens went for $110, plus commission. A book to look out for, as it is often on offer for over $200. I was the underbidder on this one |
