mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 04:27 am Hi to all After many years I am in the final stages of completing my Definitive Guide to Australian Decimal Silver Coins catalog in which I wanted to have an illustration/photo of all the silver coins released by the Perth Mint & the Royal Australian Mint (legal tender Australian Coins). In my quest I have managed to obtain illustrations/photos of of all coins in catalog bar two Hence I am reaching out to the coin community for assistance in obtaining illustrations/photos for the remaining two coins in the catalog The 2 coins are as follows: 2015 $5 Princess To Monarch - Success From Interest SILVER PROOF - part of of a set released by the Royal Canadian Mint highlighting the life of Queen Elizabeth II - the set included coins from many countries - 2 from the Royal Australian Mint are the ones I am interested in. 2021 $2 Great Barrier Reef Turtle Bullion SILVER SPECIMEN - bullion coin released by the Perth Mint exclusively to the North American market If you have any of these 2 coins and are willing to give me permission to include these images in my catalog I would be greatly appreciative Just a point of issue - they have to be your images - not one grabbed from the web If you can help me in this quest please reach out to me You will of course get credit in my book for having provided these images Any help in this endeavour including any information eg issue price, packaging etc would be highly appreciated Looking forward to your responses Report this Post to the Staff

mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 6:35 pm Yes - have exhausted all options including mints before make this post There are images of these coins on web and have requested permission to use from owners but have not heard back as yet The mints have been very helpful as have several coin dealers and individuals who have helped me obtain permission for over 2,500 silver coin images - that is why there are only 2 images remaining Report this Post to the Staff
manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/27/2024 10:33 pm Here is the thing. They are not too expensive and I am more than happy to have them in my collection. However it would take about two -three weeks to get them and send you photos. Is that okay for you or do you need it earlier? Report this Post to the Staff
mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 04/28/2024 04:50 am Hello manosgems The catalog has already been published earlier this year - I did manage to get a good pic of 2021 $2 Great Barrier Reef Turtle Bullion SILVER SPECIMEN but the 2015 $5 Princess To Monarch - Success From Interest SILVER PROOF pic is low grade so I would be looking for better pic for any future release If you could help in this regard I would of course greatly appreciate it Thank you for your responding All the best Report this Post to the Staff
manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/28/2024 05:50 am Ah I didn't see it was last year. But no problem I will get it and send you a photo in a few weeks. How can I contact you? I am new to the forums so don't know the protocols for this. Report this Post to the Staff

manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/28/2024 06:22 am Thanks Keith for the info and the quick reply! Hopefully by the time the coin arrives in a couple of weeks I will be able to send the photo via email. I joined this community a couple of years ago, but with all the hustle and bustle never quite got involved. Now that I have a little more free time I think I will be using it quite a bit.

manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 05/11/2024 9:27 pm It just arrived today Please let me know if this is the one you wanted a photo of and I will try to make a nice photo and send it over Report this Post to the Staff
mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 05/12/2024 04:00 am Thanks for your efforts - it is actually the 2nd coin from this release that I am after, the one that states "Success From Interest" on the reverse. I already have a photo of this particular coin which an American dealer kindly let me use with permission. If you have the other coin in this set as well that is the one that I am looking to obtain a photo of Many thanks regardless for the effort All the best Report this Post to the Staff
manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 05/12/2024 1:53 pm Fortunately I got the whole set but the second one hasn't come in yet. Will send you the photo when it does probably in a couple of days Report this Post to the Staff
