Cool, the wait has been agonising

This is my favourite coin found to date, it was found in central Qld

 

[matchy]

Thats a nice find in Australia Wally, here is another of mine from an old local park last year, 1903 penny, the english pennies and halfpennies seem to survive better in the ground than the aussie pennies, maybe a different metal content? this one was found in very sandy soil.

 

[silver]

And here is 1902.

notice that the hole in the coin was made by a square nail,...that makes it a long time ago that it was made into a coin pendant,....somebodys birth year no doubt !,...all said and done,...long time gone, and these are now those memories revived,....perhaps.

 

[silver]

Just waiting on that 1901 coin now ,....aren't we !

 

[metalmike]

one of my favourite coins.

 

[silver]

1900.

 

[silver]

Nice coins MBAU,...just gotta hold your horses a wee bit though as we are counting down one year at a time, have you got 1899 by any chance as that's what we are up to as the next coin.

 

[MinebossAU]

Oops, sorry my bad as I didn't read the topic, just saw old coins. Nope no 1899 coins unfortunately. Did you want me to remove the post as its premature ?

 

[Willo]

A nice 1899 penny found in the ACT, 5 mins from where I live:

 

[silver]

Still looking for that 1898 coin ? any takers ?

 

[Goldpick]

Thought I had one, but its from a bit earlier - must be one out there?

 

[silver]

Might have to try and dig one up out of the ground.

 

[Wally69]

I don't think Nuggets 1898 founded Bakery token will progress us but I thought I would paste the image cause it was a great find

 

[Willo]

1898 have one of those! Willo

 

[Goldpick]

Nice coin Willo. 1897 anyone?

 

[silver]
