Runway, it's a 1977 Coat Of Arms not the 1977 Silver Jubilee The captain cook coin is very under rated in fact you never here about them anywhere they are quiet easy to find but. couldn't agree more with you coopers getting them real nice is another matter though!

I absolutely love that coin one of my favourites I like the little dots of the trip map around Oz he crash landed in cook town and I have one of the beer bottles from that ship wreak, when they ditched the booze overboard to try and make it float almost futile - but it didn't completely sink have you got any like this? this is a nice gold tone that they can be found with

These were our first ever decimal commemorative and 16.5 million of them were minted. However there was only556,888 of the "Specimen" coins minted and these are beautiful coins. These can Still be bought for about five bucks in their little red backed square capsules. I admire these coins because they are beautifully struck and have NO nasty scrapes or dings on them, Unlike a lot of the issues from 2010 to date

yeah I am fairly certain these ones are specimens these were from the one lot of red cases and I had to almost pry some out with a chisel but being in the red case doesn't mean someone hasn't switched the coin/s over the years as I have had some real rough jobs show up in the case

Great Pic's RG These ARE Stunning coins and I have but a few . Most have their own caricature due to the different toning on them
