'...delving into a couple of boxes and, surprise, "surprise"!

6/5/2020

0 Comments

 
“Hello Coin Collectors,

Just a few lines to ask if you are all going OK with coronavirus isolation and trust it can be turned around sooner rather than later.

I have now made a start on sorting my collection by delving into a couple of boxes and surprise "surprise", I have found a few things that I had forgotten about, including a series of $1, $2, $5 and $10 notes with consecutive numbering.  I was happy to find the folder with the four commemorative florins being the 1927 opening of Parliament House Canberra; 1934/35 Melbourne Centenary; 1951 50 years of Federation and the 1954 Queen’s visit. Also realize I have quite a few English and NZ coins and uncirculated sets.

That is enough for the moment, however if you have a snippet or two regarding coins, notes etc., I would be pleased to use it for the next newsletter.

Regards,

Alex”

    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.
