Title: 1995 $1 AUSTALIAN COIN
Post by: Templar on September 19, 2009, 03:29:25 AM: I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF MY AUSSIE FRIENDS HAVE ACCESS TO A 1995 AUSTALIAN DOLLAR HONORING A.B. BANJO PATERSON--WALTZING MATILDA --NOT THE PROOFS--BUT I WOULD LIKE 2 OR 3 IF POSSIBLE.

THANKS VERY MUCH----THE TEMPLAR

I don't have a spare, but if no other Aussie can help out, they are available at some of the coin stores around here at a cost of $30 - $35. (can get one for you if needed). I've yet to come across one as yet though that is not somewhat toned. I'll also check on ebay after work this evening to see if any are going cheaper.

There were 4 different Mint Marks for them B (Brisbane), C (Canberra), S (Sydney), & M (Melbourne), from both the Portable Press and the main Press at Canberra, so there are 8 slightly different coins.

Unfortunately, I have 1 of each type & no spares. I know someone who may let me have a few though, so I'll ask the question & let you know if there's any available.

IF YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM IN A STORE--PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THE COST AROUND 30 DOLLARS

THANKS MUCH---YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

Post by: Humpybong on September 21, 2009, 09:31:26 AM: templar, I presume you are talking about our pre-decimal pennies????

OR is it decimal 2 cent coins you are after.

As I collect pre-decimal pennies I have a number of duplicates. Are you after specific years or what?

Post by: Templar on September 22, 2009, 09:00:25 AM: DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT--I HAVE BEEN HUNTING AROUND E-BAY AND WAS ABLE TO CATCH A COUPLE SO ANY MORE OF THOSE DOLLARS WOULD JUST BE NICE ADDITIONS TO MY BUDDING COLLECTION---AT LEAST IN MY SEARCH I DID LEARN THE WORDS TO THE SONG "WALTZING MATILDA" AND WHAT THE SONG IS REALLY ABOUT---IT WAS LIKE THE SONG "DANNY BOY"---SANG IT FOR YEARS BEFORE I ACTUALLY LEARNED WHO WAS SINGING TO WHO.

WELL I WILL BE WALTZING MATILDA THROUGH THE FALL COLORS OF MICHIGAN WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU
