trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 11:45 pm piedfort or pie-fed This is the first piedfort coin I have got. Crikey they are a fat coin. The normal $10 silver coins are 20 grams, This one is 40 grams and is the same diameter. I think I like it Edited by trout1105 05/29/2012 11:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

traevin Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 3:34 pm I really like the wombat, Trout1105. I've tried to win it a few times, myself, but out of the whole series, I've only managed to corral the Kook. Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 6:09 pm that one of mine is actually a Numbat one of Australia's endangered species. I also have the Bird series coins in the $10 coins. They are all nice designs and well struck every year has a diferant design. Report this Post to the Staff
traevin Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 6:23 pm Whoops. Got 'em mixed up. Have to admit, I've never even heard of a Numbat. They must be related to the Wombat, right? Report this Post to the Staff

I know diddly squat about the biology of Aussie marsupials, but I just googled it and the Numbat is not closely related to any current, living species. It is considered to have been more closely related to the now-extinct Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger. I thought it might be close to the Bilby, but like I said, I know nothing about it. Wombats closest relatives are Koalas. Go figure eh? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
juzzyb Valued Member Australia 215 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 9:51 pm looking at the numbat it does have a bit of a thylacine look to it. I wouldn't have guessed it unless pointed out though. Report this Post to the Staff
traevin Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 11:26 pm Tasmanian tiger. Yep, I see it now. That's a coin I wished I'd bought in 2010. The last one sold for $300+! Report this Post to the Staff
