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. Edited by toast 01/15/2007 05:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
rggoodie Moderator United States 23540 Posts	Posted 01/15/2007 07:52 am 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 shop he is an active member of the forum also look at Downies Downies 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 aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

Keep in mind that the prices that they quote are in Australian dollars which will make it cheaper for you to purchase. Thank you Snooba, I checked it out. But I am trying to understand..does this mean that the 'pig' is the coin for 2007 ? "Keep in mind that the prices that they quote are in Australian dollars which will make it cheaper for you to purchase". I don't quite understand this. According to the list--Perth Mint Silver Proof Lunar Coins - 2007 Year of the Pig --1 oz A$75.00..is this what I would pay [USD] for this coin? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 01/17/2007 03:41 am 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!

PNC king Valued Member Australia 444 Posts	Posted 02/21/2007 07:42 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 02/21/2007 09:03 am 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.
