2009 Silver Koala - Photos I would like to thank lumpOgold for a smooth silver trade experience this week. This was a nice addition to the collection. This is certainly not as pretty as some other silver from the Perth Mint but the background is very cool. I included the witch side only to keep the triptych theme on my flickr page going. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3660/...3a4f78a0_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3570/...1c66f35d_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/...0fb3191b_o.jpg

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos Junk Woody hit my reaction perfectly. Now you see why I have never spent time trying to capture the beauty of that image. Heh-- I've got a couple of earlier year Maples with the much more palatable younger queen version. Good shot on the Koala though. I've been buying one Koala a year.

Tom, I just enjoyed all 337 photos you have posted. Beautiful work. I must also say that your grandmother is one of most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a vintage photo.

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos Just for clarification ,I love the young Liz image that was used from 1953-1964 on Canadian coinage.

I don't understand how the Brits can use sexy Britannia on their bullion and then Canada and Australia use the old lady queen! :smile: The modern US Liberty is quite the Amazon herself, and in the past she was quite pleasing to the eye.

Thanks----- My grandmother had a rare serenity that is captured in that shot, hard to define. If you saw my thread of around a month ago where I had found a letter my dad had written from a hospital bed after getting shot up in Normandy in 1944, that letter was to her.

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos She's OK I guess,Can't beat the teen queen portrait IMHO http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/1-1953-o.jpg

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos I have to say in my short time collecting coins, the Perth Mint stuff has really impressed me. Luckily the Koalas only started in 2007 so I can catch up quick enough, unlike the Kooks and some other sets (Pandas/Britannias) which will take some effort and coin to track down one from each year. Great pictures BTW.

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos I dread the portrait that will appear when she passes on...

Re: 2009 Silver Koala - Photos The Koala is gorgeous. Awesome metalcore pornography. The Queen is a wreck. Even the young one looks inbred. Oh wait.... the Royalty IS inbred, isn't it?
