Australia's Holey dollar is the most iconic piece of coinage from the land down under. Two examples of the important artifact from early Australian history sold at auction in February, illustrating the varied tiers of the market for the famous rarity. At least 275 (and perhaps as many as 300) examples of the stopgap coinage manufactured in 1813 from older Spanish silver "dollars" (8-real coins) of varying years are known today. The coins were counterstamped and turned into two different coins, a tangible example of the maxim "it takes money to make money." Read the Entire Article Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 5:10 pm I once saw one of these on display in a tiny coin shop in Sydney. For a measy AU$115000 (or in those whereabouts) one of these could have been yours. I recall the shop was called Strand coins or something similar. There was barely room for two customers at a time Report this Post to the Staff
