I just won this auction. It's a beat-up Whitman album. I'm excited to see the condition of the coins, especially the better dates. In any event the price was right - 61 USD!!

I would have been more than happy to pay $US61.
The '42 Melbourne (no mm) reverse suggests that it may be a better than average coin.

I also understand why this set was so cheap, because it was sold in the US market - it would have cost multiples more, had it been sold in Australia.
I have sold rare US coins in Australia at very low prices, such as a 1923S Quarter VF30 for $50, but that was about 30 years ago.

That's a great pick up Otto. I'd be interested to see what the toning is like on the obverse.
I acquired a spare set (almost) of aussie pennies in Whitman folders, and some were beautifully burnished on the flip side.
The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

The toning for most coins isn't especially nice. A lot of it is patchy or speckled. The one nice thing is that the 1942(m) is pretty nice. That's a very hard coin to find on eBay. Here's three of the coins. Not the best photography.
