THANK YOU LORDMARCOVAN

Just received an Australian $1 from a contest that was goin over the Christmas and New Years Holidays. A Kookaburra.

It's beautiful and very interesting with the frosted background on the inner part of the obverse and reverse. I suck at taking pix, but I did the best I could. The dark spot on her cheek is actually the lens of the camera. image It's also in a plastic case for protection, and I didnt want to break it out for the pix.

thanks again!! Great coin!

    hey Hamilton

    that's an interesting effect with the frost, similar in a way to how the U.S. did the reverse contrast on the Platinum's. i noticed a while back that Canada (i think it was them) has started issueing already colorized coins!! gonna put all the art deco businesses out of business.

  • It looks alot cooler in hand...wish the pics were better. I've never actually seen one like this, so it's new to me.

    guess I need to open my horizons more. image
  • That's horrible hamiltonjh. Send it to me and I'll make sure it's properly disposed of. image
  • Thanks, but I'll just put it under the fridge to keep it from rocking back and forth. image

    Did he send any GA peanuts with that coin???
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • Did he send any GA peanuts with that coin???

    Nope....just a wooden nickel with his phone number on it

    Coin has been retired to the deep, dark recesses of the humidity free (I hope) safe. image
