New Coins -a preview
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.

Spring Welcomes Some New Grades
Things have been a little quiet lately and I’ll put that down to the cold of Winter but now we’ve turned the corner into Spring a cheery disposition is warranted. We’ve recently sent over 4 submissions to PCGS with some returned already, some grades in and some still pending. We get notification of the grading about 10 days before the coins actually arrive back to us, thus some coins already sell to our regular customers before the coins are even back into the country and they never even make it to be listed on the website. Top population coins and high grades particularly sell quite quickly. Amongst the grades we’ve been notified of already are a 1951PL 1/2d MS65RD, 1947 & 1948 3d MS65, 1951PL 3d MS66, 1952 3d MS65, 1952 & 1958 2s MS64, 1948m & 1950m & 1951PL 1d MS64RB.
New PCGS Grades Are In
We’ve just got a few more grades back from PCGS, items of interest are a MS65RD 1951PL Penny (SOLD), a nice MS63 1916 Shilling (SOLD), and a nice gem MS65 1962 sixpence (SOLD).
