New To Australia

I hear ya Peter, and I have struggled with it over the year. Without trying to sound too arrogant, the $200 or so it takes per year to keep up with the RAM's new NCLT stuff isn't a huge issue. I figure if I ever change my mind, it's easy enough to flick them on ebay.

So far, my major purchases have still been US coins, although they are a bit tough to find over here. I have started to study Pre-decimal Australian coins, but need to understand a lot more, before obtaining any. I am quite drawn to the 1910 series.

I obtained an UNC 1910 3d a few months ago, just so I could look at it. I only paid $50 for it since it has a small scratch on the obverse, but you can't see it with the naked eye.

I am pretty picky when it comes to grading, so this one will probably get the flick when I decide to put the full set together. For now, I just enjoy looking at it.

The other Pre-decimals I have an attraction to other than the 1910's are the 2 Crown Issues and the Commerative Florin issues of '27, '34/35 ( had an AUnc and LOST it!!) '51 and '54. Eventually I would like to have all of these in UNC condition.
