A bug in the WordPress update has rendered our newly listed items page currently displaying items in the incorrect order. This problem is being looked into and hopefully will be rectified soon. We apologise this site feature is currently unavailable to our customers.
As a workaround for the time being all new items will feature on the webshop home page so they can be easily found.
edit- 20 Aug this issue is now resolved.

We’ve been having a florin party in the office with some beautiful high grade and pretty toned Australian florins being added to our shop this week. It’s certainly a pleasure to see such a quantity of quality coins come through at the same time.
Scroll through our listed florins to take a look at the offerings.
Royal Australian Mint rolls, Armaguard rolls, Reserve Bank rolls we’ve got the lot! Be quick they are selling fast.
We have newly listed a hoard of Mint and security company rolls and bags in the two dollar denomination. Keep your eye on our newly listed items for more rolls and bags in other denominations to be listed in the coming month.
Collecting the $2 coin is becoming more popular with the release of more and more commemorative coins. We have just listed rolls from the first years of issue 1988 and 1989 (yes, the coins with the HH on the reverse) and the harder to find years 1992 and 1999. Then we have a run of Armaguard rolls from 2001 to 2006. Rolls and bags we have it all including the Royal Australian Mint issued collectable 5 coin bags of some of the coloured coins.
Also listed is a special signed folder of the 2016 Paralympic coin, the packaging autographed by coin designer Bronwyn King. As well as this we also have stock of the Possum Magic coins in the special “collect and keep” folder from the Mint.
Christmas is almost here! The jolly man in the red suit will be coming soon. Wishing our customers and readers a very Merry Christmas, enjoyable festive season and a Happy New Year.

Just a heads up to our friends in and around Adelaide and those visitors from interstate we’ll be attending the NSSA Coin, Banknote, Stamp & Collectable Expo in November at the Torrens Parade Ground in the city. Entry is free and so is parking so we’d love to see you there. Put it on the calendar now!
A stable of mules have been added to the inventory of coins for sale this month, the better coins grading XF40 and AU55 by PCGS. We also added some gold coins to the shop which were quickly snapped by by a sharp eyed collector. The George V sovereigns and half sovereigns all graded mint state. A quality coin also now available is a 1939 kangaroos reverse halfpenny, a really great looking coin in a lovely high grade. Only 2 coins grade higher on the PCGS population, one in MS65BN and MS64+RB.
Our stock of 1934-35 Melbourne Centenary florins (of which we’ve had quite a few) was close to selling out so we hunted down some new quality coins grading PCGS MS65. They are now listed up.
Decimal collectors should note the 1972 5 cent in PCGS MS67, a superb grade and also a low echidna variety -see the listing for more explanation on that.
We’ve recently restocked the shop in Saflips, Saflip inserts and album pages so if you need more supplies they are currently in abundance.
