Any Real Coin Collectors out there

Hi Mike

I can't help you, re: the Collectors Value, but all I know, they are a
Pain in the Bum, when I get them, I leave them on the Office Desk,
and the Cook puts them in a 4 Litre Can, I just had a look, and it's
Chockers Full, but Dam It they are not mine any more.

Check for two lines behind the emu's head (double bar).

Not sure of the current price but those ones were worth more than the norm.

Hello - look here

Unless they are in good nick not worth more than face value. Wouldnt give good coins to children as based on personal experience they will be spent on lollies, beer and then ??? as time rolls on:)

I've been sitting on a dozen round 50's for years and thought i was rich lol. Oh well one day maybe??

I had a heap and went to take them to the bank to change them. I was told that because it was more than $50 it would cost me 10% to weigh and change it. needless to say I changed them at $50 groups.

ahh sorry I missed this post maybe I'm too late? We just bought a coin collection folder for our daughter Leah (7 going on 8yrs old) as she has been collecting coins for about 2 years. In the folder is an interesting booklet describing the coins and picturing each, then there is a spot for each coin to pop into so you are guided as to what coins to collect. it's called the Ultimate Coin Collection - and it came from the Scholastic book clubs they run as fundraisers at schools. We paid about $15 for the folder/info booklet.

We didn't know what we were collecting really when we started so after 2 years it was interesting to see what we had come up with. We had quite a few, but there were some that are obviously much rarer. The folder actually lists the rare ones. In the 50c section the ones we didn't have were Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee, Charles and Diana Royal Wedding, First Fleet Bicentenary (listed as rare), 25th Anniversary of Decimal Currency (listed as rare), Year 200 Royal Visit, and then each state has its own 50 c coin to mark the Centenary of Federation - interestingly we had the WA one, but none of the other states we live in WA), there is also a commonwealth one which we did have, there is also a Norfolk Island centenary of federation coin. all the rest of the 50c we had - some 13 other commemorative ones. It's a great little folder for kids - perhaps get hold of one, sort out your coins and fill it and give leave it for your grand kids? Hope this helps.
