Nice one ElleKitty - MUCH nicer than any of the shillings I've got ...... as a matter of fact, I think I've only got one so far!

Well, Muckeye?  Let me take stock of what I've got...

I buy any Australian coins I can find on principle that if I keep them moving, they'll keep flowing? Especially Pre-decimal.  This means I've got a tidy little supply of duplicate pieces.  I probably could/should sell them, especially if I'm ever going to afford my 1925 penny that is the last piece I need to "complete" my Penny set. (presuming of course that the 1930 bugger will never be in it.)

Ms Toby, this picture is for you, then. :)  It's another shilling I picked up in the same place. Someone had sold a lot of early 60's sixpence, shilling, and Florin, and I snatched several of them up.  I wish I could have gone and picked up the rest, but I couldn't afford it at the time. :(

The 1943(m) is a good Shilling to keep--one of the lower wartime mintages--2.7M vs 16M for the 43-S (San Francisco) 
ElleKitty, you should do well on the 1925 1d if you find a dealer who prices to Krause. I got my 1915-H 1/2d priced that way.  ;D

Nice coins, Kitty.
I really like those Merino shillings. I have 19 in my flock so far, hopefully I can complete the set soon.

Very nice shillings ElleKitty. I love the way the rams head just seems to burst out of the coin, and how happy he seems to have done it. They really are my favourite coin. Do you have the '91 rams head 50c piece?

Yes I do. :)  It was one of the last 50 cent pieces I acquired, but I do have it.  Thank you.
