Learjet Pillar of the Community Australia 655 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 2:09 pm Going through my old coin box I see a 1980 10¢ in there that I put away from change 28 years ago. What a pity I didn't continue putting away fresh coins from each year until now. It would have only cost face value. I could have had an UNC set for most years had I done that. My present circulated coin sets look pretty sad. They could have been so much better. Oh well live and learn I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff

But I did manage to keep some commemoratives and special medal sets that were presented to me while still living at home. Report this Post to the Staff
Learjet Pillar of the Community Australia 655 Posts	Posted 03/14/2008 10:18 am Yes I also kept the first commemorative coin, the 1970 Captain Cook 50¢. I was only 6 then. In my teens in the late 70's I started collecting world coins. I continued to put away any commemorative 50¢ coins I came across. Of course everyone else does the same thing and so they are worth very little! The bog standard circulation coins are generally ignored by the general population, except perhaps for the first year of issue so it's very difficult to find early years in high grade anymore. Of course you all know that. Oh well mint sets are still available but the early years are getting pricey now. Report this Post to the Staff
