Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 01:49 am http://www.ebay.com/itm/27103215422....m1423.l2649 I found this listing on the bay, and don't know anything about it. The logical answer would be that this is a Perth Mint paperweight I found a 1991 pictured on jaggards >> http://www.jaggards.com.au/shop/vie...ategoryid=71 So the one in the link has probably been un-gold plated But there are no pictures of the base on the jaggards link. A further search found these https://goccf.com/t/116678 Can the Perth Mint give us an answer for the weird listing? Are the PM paperweight made from aluminium? Anyway I think the seller may be on the way to the "dodgy backyard seller" page. Edited by Australian coin 08/14/2012 01:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 04:01 am Yeah, it's a paperweight. These "trial strikes" have been floating around for a few years now. The first one I found on ebay was being sold as a trial strike and at exactly the same time you could still buy the paperweights on ebay! The only difference was that the paperweight still had green felt on the bottom, and the "trial strike" did not. Report this Post to the Staff
