We’ve sent over a new submission to PCGS for grading to beat the Christmas rush. Our pre 1956 submission will take some time however with a current turnaround time of 57 business days this will bring us well over Christmas for their return. The modern 1956+ coins will be back sooner just in time for the holiday period. It includes some lovely QEII proofs so keep an eye out for those. We’re also dabbling in a little New Zealand coinage, the designs are so pretty and we hope for some high grades there.

We’ve also had some fantastic feedback on the mini albums. Thank you to everyone who has left us positive comments.

We’ve been busy over the last 6 months designing and manufacturing a new mini coin album. From idea to finished product we’ve endured many teething problems and manufacturing issues but we’re pleased to announce that we’ve had a production run made and they are now available.

Now Available 2.5 inch Saflips. When a 2×2 just isn’t big enough!

All the new coins have arrived back from PCGS and have been listed up. There’s too many for the newly listed category so take a browse through our entire site for the most recent additions. Feel free to drop us an email or “enquire about product” if you’d like to make an offer on one of our coins. Our pick at the moment is a 1933 half penny MS65BN or a beautiful 1964y half penny in MS65RB. Also keep an eye out for more world coins listed up, particularly New Zealand coins like the 1943 New Zealand threepence in MS65.

We’ve just received in a large order back from PCGS all in the new pronged holders. We’re busily listing them all up, at first without images then adding images over the coming days. If you have an interest in a particular coin then please drop us an email and we’ll be happy to add images to those coins for you asap. See the Newly Listed category for this new stock. Overall we’re really happy at the quality and grades of this submission with all coins achieving the expected grades or higher.

You may or may not know that up until now PCGS has not recognised the 2000 $1/10c mule and and would only slab them as errors. They now acknowledge that these coins are a legitimate Australian issue and as a result quite a few 2000 $1/10c mules have now been graded. An uncirculated example slabbed by PCGS as MS62 will become available on our website shortly at $6,000. It’s quite rare to find a mint state example of this key Australian decimal variety. If you are interested in purchasing this coin or want to be notified when images of it are available then please drop us an email.

Another batch of coins are headed back from PCGS, we’re much happier with the grades assigned to these coins. If you have a interest in any of these coins please contact us for more information. They will be added to the website with images upon their return, if not sold earlier.

We’ve just received some grades on our latest batch of coins sent to PCGS and thought we’d give our regulars first option in securing these coins. We’ll have some more coins and grades to share with you in the next few days. These coins are not expected back in Australia for another 10-14 days, so if you’d like to purchase one of the coins please let us know and we’ll put a hold on it for you with a small deposit required. As you can see a lot of our coins don’t even make it to be listed up for sale on the website before they are snapped up by collectors with an eye for the best.

The Purple Penny is very soon moving interstate so we’re having a SALE!  If there’s something on the site that you’ve had your eye on for a while then now is your chance.  We’re happy to consider all reasonable offers, just contact us to discuss the newest addition to your collection.
