They are definitely the most worn of all the coins Must have been using them in the Christmas puddings, :) Steve :)

Nice group Steve, again you see my point, super worn sixpences. Those Christmas puddings were greedy and ate them up! Here is my 1918 just 3 silver coins  Decent but recently cleaned shilling (The bits of black show it out, the cleaning was NOT done by me).  A fairly good Threepence and the  Lovely Florin!! All 3 coins may be Fine or even gFine  Heads shot!

Really, my post clearly shows in order
1. The Shilling 2. The Threepence 3. The Florin I don't have any of the other coins (Like most 1910s coins of Australia, my examples are patchy).

Think I found out why I like Australian coins so much! Doing family tree research and on my Maori side, I have Australian convicts. Yes the man was a second fleeter from Ireland and the woman was a first fleeter from London. Yes deported on the Sirius. They got married in Parramatta in 1794 (Probably the womens jail, as he was on a ticket of leave by then). Their son came to Noo Zillund and married a local girl and swirled up the family tree  So I guess I am a true blue Aussie now and dyed in the wool Aussie - not this I showed up in 1969 stuff. Fair dinkum.

Cool shot NumisRob, I don't think mine will have a grave marker, as they died in 1839 and 1840. My 1917 back to 1914 is very sparse, mainly shillings and the occasional silver piece. From 1913 backwards I have a few more coins.  1917 I have 2 shillings, 1 is in Fine or better condition, other is high Good to near VG (Could be different types I don't know) and a very stained and worn Threepence  Heads shot shows how much wear the second shilling piece and threepence have!
