March - 'A variety of coins, medallions and catalogues'

2/4/2020

0 Comments

 
We were able to have our meeting on the 18th March with 12 members attending. Again we had quite a variety of coins medallions and catalogues, which led to interesting discussions There was good advice on collecting ancient Chinese and Roman coins with some very large catalogues of information and values on the coins. There was a Krugerland (South Africa) 1oz. gold coin,  a Mexican $1 coin of one ounce pure silver, an Australian 1977 silver jubilee medallion for the Queen's visit,  a Lighthouse medallion,  1984 English proof coin set, 5gm gold nugget 2.5 gm of gold bullion,  1945-1995 medallion,  1966 round 50cent piece and  1967 NZ 50 cent piece.  Four small albums of American coins, including American $1 coins.  Girl Guide commemorative coins and various paper cuttings and clips re early coins, pre-decimal pennies and halfpennies.  Pre decimal florin commemorating the opening of Parliament House Canberra in 1927, a 20cent decimal commemorating the Centenary of Canberra in 2013.

With the Corona Virus pandemic now taking hold we are now in recess until the end of June.  So, everybody please take care and stay well and with time at home we can get a lot of coins sorted.

    Coin Collectors

    Coin Collectors is a group of people interested in coins.  Some are avid collectors, others are just curious and would like to know about coins they have or may have inherited from family members. 

    ​Our course has been going for a number of years, with those attending enjoying the fun of learning and sharing information.  The variety of our monthly sessions ranges from exploring coins others bring along, knowing how to identify and value your coins, knowledge of new releases and discovering the vast array of information on coin YouTube channels.
