crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 01/02/2006 4:29 pm I can't believe lim118 is STILL posting beautiful photos of COINS I don't have. I can see right now I need at least two jobs to keep the Aussie economy and my family going through 2006! Nothing better than an UNC or PROOF coin to bring out the real beauty!!!

Bigfella Pillar of the Community Australia 853 Posts	Posted 01/03/2006 08:42 am There is an interesting story as to how the USA did a deal with us Aussies to mint coins for us. Other Aussies may like to fill in the blanks here. To put is simply we ran out of silver and man power to make coins during the war. We asked the good old USA to do us Aussies a favour which in your generosity you obliged. You supplied the manpower...the presses and the silver. The only way we could pay you back was to melt down our sterling silver coins and remake then at 50% silver and send to you the left over silver to pay our debt. Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 01/03/2006 10:06 am Looks like we may have to work out something else now!!! Quite a few U.S. collectors starting Aussie collections and the biggest problem we are encountering is that YOU (Australia) has WAY to MUCH to offer!!! So many coins, so little time and so little money! I need another job! Report this Post to the Staff

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 01/11/2006 3:27 pm Hello Cruzi....great to see you here as well... I bow to your superior knowledge and experience when it comes to Aussie coins (for that matter any coins)and I am sure members here will benefit from it instead of listening to half baked potatoes like me. It is indeed heartening to note well known numismatists from Downunder are joining up and posting. This will make the efforts of promoting our coinage to fellow collectors around the world a lot easier. Report this Post to the Staff

I take about 100 coin photos a day and have seen many come out looking that way, until you adjust the light a little bit, then they look right. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
