Four comm. coins of ships that contributed to the Australian Country

These are great looking coins, Newbie.

They are getting me in the mood for the opening of the new Russell Crowe movie Master and Commander. A seafaring tale it be, laddie.

gret ships

Wow !

You are really lucky guy, Wayne!!! It must be also one more coin in that series (once Australian Mint wrote , that they struck 5 such shipcoins with different ships, which played the important role in their country's history)

Congratulations and I also want them!!

shipcoin,
There are only 4 coins in this set. They came in a nice presentation box and also contained a reproduction Sash Bage of one of the captains.

Can you write also some words in that thread, Wayne? Because I'm trying to stick here any emotion and my PC doesn't allow me to do it, and now I know where are all the emotions!!

Shipcoin · November 7, 2003 5:57AM

I'm really confused now, SORRY! But I want to check it once more at Australian mint!

As for my last message Wayne--- excuse me please (for some PC's reason I can't answer you by private post) it was a joke , and may be my English is not good sometimes) I mean that you answer only by emotions and not by words today.

Anyway my apologies,
Nickolai

...... That has become a bad habit of mine. As to the coin set I am sure I bought it direct from the mint.

oldshep · November 7, 2003 7:09AM

Wayne- Zowie where have these been all of my life? You haven't put these pictures up before - and they are beautiful!!!
How long ago did you aquire those??
Shep

newbiecollector · November 7, 2003 7:21AM

Shep, I don't remeber exactly but I think it was about a year ago when I bought them. They are a nice set, in a nice box with a small booklet explaining each ship, accomplishments and the Captains name.

I like it very much.

spinaker2000 · November 7, 2003 7:23AM

nice one's Wayne, When do we get to see your inventory list on those ship coins?? Got to be way over 100 by now!

newbiecollector · November 7, 2003 7:24AM

.... I don't actually have a list.

spinaker2000 · November 7, 2003 7:28AM

That's what those times without coin $$ is for, to play with them.

newbiecollector · November 7, 2003 7:29AM

I plan to eventually have all them on my web site. I am just pretty slow at updating. Not lack of time......lack of skill....

Man, you must really be getting old. Here's a link to the original thread last February. It was an RAM issue suggested by Cruzi and a quick link to the coins is here.

. you have correctly embarrased me.........

trozau · November 7, 2003 7:47AM

newbie, embarassed? Never! You da man!

Some very nice designs!!

SYRACUSIAN · November 8, 2003 6:03PM

Great coins Wayne !

Clankeye, this is a friendly advice: never (EVER) go to see a Russel Crowe movie with a female; you'll regret your decision afterwards

newbiecollector · November 8, 2003 6:10PM

Thanks...

cosmicdebris · November 8, 2003 9:26PM
