sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 03:26 am harrison2: A genuine Australian 1930 penny at auction in F-VF will realise typically in the region of AUD $30,000 at auction. A genuine (pattern only) 1937 penny, with standard obverse and reverse could realise between $1/4 and 1/2 million at auction. Even the uniface patterns are excessively rare. I have never seen one.

Makes a hole in a collection go away, but wouldn't fool many people these days. The 0 just looks wrong. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 05:57 am it was described as - "Australia 1930 Key Date Bronze Penny Album Filler Coin", and further down is this note - Date: 1930 (altered date) Last year, a dealer was selling them for $10 - your choice of a sickeningly shiny, almost brassy patina, or a pleasing chocolate. But this one went for - Bid history: 24 bids Winning bid: AU $415.00 (Approximately US $445.21) Fools and their money ... oh well I'm glad that my 1930 - genuine, of course - is safely locked up: Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 07:31 am The winning bidder - and presumably several of the underbidders - presumably hoped to on-sell it as genuine, and make a profit. It's the only reason I can think of why anyone would pay that much for a bogus coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
