Had quite a busy morning... :) and a few interesting bits 

THE nicest toned Morgan I've ever seen- I bought this to sell but fell in love with it! The camera makes it look terrible but this has the nicest natural rainbow toning.

What I presume is a trench art engraved 3d young head victoria. This has such amazing detail and never seen one quite like it! If anyone has any informaiton on it including the likely story behind it, values etc I'd love to hear it as apart from the hobo nickels in the states, I've never really seen engraved coins with this much detail.

A nice selection of world silver including Philippines (50c and 10c) when it was a US territory, a relavitvely hard to find Lithuanian 5 litai, Swedish 2 Kr and Polish 2 Zloty as well as some Aussia, Barber dimes, old 6 pence and other bits :)

Yeah I been 'fighting with the light' trying to get decent pictures showing lustre on coins, nothing seems as good as the human eye though.

Nice coins, the 1836 sixpence is a difficult coin to find in any grade!

This is my recent pickup, an Australian 1943 dated Sixpence, minted from .925 silver at the Denver mint in the USA, featuring King George VI on the obverse and the Australian coat of arms of a kangaroo and emu.
Australia minted all their silver coins from the high grade of .925 until 1946 when it dropped to .500, silver still being used until 1963 when they stopped using the UK £ and went to the AUS $, the high grade of silver might account why its hard to find unworn coins from the pre 1945 era with them being quite soft.
Three mints manufactured these coins every year from 1938 to 1945, these were, Melbourne in Australia (no mint mark), Denver in the USA (D mint mark) and San Francisco in the USA (S mint mark).
The production figures for the two (Australia didn't make any this year) mints in 1943 alone were,

1943 D,  8,000,000
1943 S,  4,000,000

Always amazes me how late they circulated .925 and large coins too! One of my 6d today was a 1922! Very low mintage and the florin was 1935 also a good year!
