Its a "reproduction" so it's not the real thing, although I have seen other 1930 fakes approach $1000 on ebay |

I know it's not the real thing, that's why I was amazed at the bidding. But you've seen them for $1000? The mind boggles!

I purchased one of these for a customer for less than $80.00 2 weeks ago off this guy....the one he sent me was rubbish. He promised a replacement and still waiting. Says he sent it Wednesday so I am not panicking yet.

It's a pretty decent reproduction. Unfortunately, most collectors can never imagine owning an authentic 1930 penny and have to settle for a reproduction to make up their full set. Don't worry, I'm not a big penny collector so was quite baffled the first time I saw one of these selling in the hundreds of dollars on ebay. Regards, Peter A. Piliouras |

well, its like the 1964-D Peace dollar, everyone knows they existed at one time but if you want one you got to buy a fake because owning a original is against the law |

Some collectors fill the 1930 Penny slot with a 1930 English Penny, others use an "Altered Date" Penny or a Reproduction Penny.
It would depend on what one can afford......I know myself that if I purchased a "real" one my wife would kill me.

That 'repro' was a load of rubbish.I wouldn't have one of these,even if you gave me a million Quid to put one of these in my collection.In that case,I'd take the 1,000,000 Quid & run! Of course,I'd buy a real 1930 Aussie 1d. in the process!

Hi:
one question more?
its possibly know how many of this coins are in australia in this moment? I tell that why a lot of collector international can buy the coin and translate the piece out of australia.
i said that because with that quantity of minted coins can be protected because they are a part of australia history.
!!!!dont sufered bm1947 I have the same problem with my wifeĦĦĦĦĦĦĦ
!!!!! if I buy this coins I'm dead manĦĦĦĦĦĦĦ
regards
