Yes, I am home.  Yes, I weighed it, right on spec at 5.65g.  PPH would probably knock me out if I tried to weigh her.

Beautiful coins Mark and the shilling is superb :good: but we are gonna have some serious words if you keep holding out on me, that 66 is very nice as well, well done :ok:

Yeah PP you were suppose to be there, but don't worry I'll track you down when I get down that way :laugh2:

Met Eric and another really nice bloke :ok: and he's gonna fight belly for me :laugh2: Yeah belly look out, actually you'd better run when you see him coming :winkextra:

Bloody RG, I bought a 06 proof set for issue, could have probably done better but ya get that and a few more mint sets for $14 ea and a roll of tallships for $45 so really happy with that but just so good putting names to faces, I really had a nice time and meeting people was just icing on the cake..just so much to look at so will try and get some pic's loaded very soon :good:

Ok boys and girls, just a couple from the show, going across the room from left to right

and a little something for you viewing pleasure :ok:

[Unicorn]

Wow, top photos AJ!

[robbiegal]

Great pics An thanks. My first post from my new birthday phone . It has a big screen and it is great. I just have to get a little simple card for it

[Goldseeker]

Doesn't appear that to many people attended the show or were the photos taken before the doors opened?

My first post from my new birthday phone

what the hell is this RG, when? why didn't you tell me :cray: Hope you had a very :birthday: :friends:

Taken very late Saturday arvo just before they shut Bruce

OK I have to look at them first as I've found a 7 minor errors out of the first ten I got so I had to get some more but if anyone that didn't get to organise any thru other members please let me know as I have a couple. Three errors are gone already sorry but will try and get some pic's done tomorrow :ok:

[Nevol]

Yes, it sure is.  I've seen them like that on pennies and half pennies but I don't recall see a cud like this on a decimal coin before.

I've got a 2c one, will post piccies in a new thread soon.

[ausjack]

Ok here's some pic's for my error queen, spewin I had to destroy a packet to get my usual crappy pic's sorry



small die crack

face melt and tear drops

tear drops


Yes I have one for you Nevol and found another stamped $1 that has an 8 on it, funny I've never found one then find one send to you and find another and I'm not collecting them but I'm sure it will go with all the others you have :friends:

Doesn't appear that to many people attended the show or were the photos taken before the doors opened?

this is what happens when I walk into a room, people just freak and run away..but it does make it easier for me to look around :laugh2:
So would these error add a little more value??
I've had a think and I'll take one hundred billion dollars

[markn]

Nice cracks AJ.  My show report is up:

The show was busy for the first few hours:

We're pretty sure it's struck through a very late state die cap.  See this link for more information.

Has anyone ever seen a George VI shilling brockage?

[ausjack]

Thanks Mark, sorry about my shabby pic's but you get the idea.

well that's bloody nice that is, Rob get a mention but I don't :cray: All good mate I still love ya and really nice to meet you and a few others and had a really nice time :friends: and a very nice report as well I might add :hi: Yes it's a nice spot and easy to get to (once I worked out all the new bloody roads eek) so I'll be there next year and really hope to make some down south but see what happens. Just great to get out as there's not much around here but I think some of the store holders were a bit peaved at me drooling all over their counters but if they want to put goodies out like that for me to ogle what else am I to do :laugh2:

[ausjack]

Oh and I asked old mate at the press if they would do 10K of them and he said no 6.5 of the 'B' mint mark
