Today was the Gateway Coin Club Numismatic Show in San Antonio. The usual dealers were there, the usual collectors too. I swear, I can meet the same people like clockwork by heading for the door at certain times... But. I've been saving, and today was the Day of Days! The 1925 Penny, only 117,240 minted. This is a nice coin, only VF but no major problems with it. I'm quite pleased to put it into my Penny collection and call it finished. I highly doubt I will ever call the 1930 penny mine, so it's as done as I can make it. A few other Aussie coins I picked up today, working on my Predec sets: Copper coins don't scan very well, I had to lighten all of the shots. This is what gives them that strange colouration- they're all nice coins in hand.

I'm happy for you! Triggersmob recently sent me a great selection of Australian pennies, and I'm going to add them to my album the first day I get a chance. I really like English and Australian large pennies. I have the English ones back to 1888, and a good start on the Aussie ones as well.

Humpybong the rumor here is Kitty is going to have them all counterstamped with "cats" so they will then be real coins? Could be the beginning of a new Australian series?

As much as I love cats, that made me actually shudder! I couldn't counterstamp any of these Aussie beauts with a picture of a cat- most especially since the Feline isn't even native to my preferred country. They're introduced pests, actually; and quite harmful to the native fauna. Poor kitties.
