Would post some pics but am packing to go on hols. Thanks for the comments. Re the missing 85 and 93. I think the collector was really only interested in Commemoratives but threw in a few COA. That haul almost completeed my 50 cent collection. I keep 50 of every general circulating coin - so only a few 2001's to go
