G'day G'day everyone. My first post on GIM .I've been lurking for 2 or 3 months and think its an awesome site.I do not have a large amount of PMs maybey a few kilo of silver and a couple of oz of gold. In Australia our silver bullion is a bit different than yours.Some of our numismatic history: Australia didn't start making our own currency untill 1910,from then untill 1945 all our silver coins were sterlingsilver (925).Unfortunately we only produced crowns during 1937 and 1938 and most of these coins are a bit rare so are often sold above spot.So pre 1945 florins are a popular bullion coin and contain about 1/3 of an oz. from 1945 till 1965 all our coins were 50%.In 1966 we changed to decimal currency only 1 coin was produced that had silver in it wich was the 1966 round 50 cent coin with a content of 80% also containing a 1/3 of an oz.The round 1966 50 cent coin is pretty much our standard silver bullion coin. Both the pre 1945 florins and the round 50c have the Australian coat of arms on the back wich is held up by a kangaroo and an emu.An added bonus the round 50c has a much younger prettier looking Queen lizzy than the more recent coins:D. I look forward to participating in this forum,perhaps later down the track if anyone is interested a few swaps. Happy to be here MR Mango

Re: G'day Welcome Mr. Mango. And you said the coin has a emu on it? I thought that was an overgrown chook. :wink:

Re: G'day nice to meet you Mango I am new as well. Might as well introduce myself too. I just found this site a couple weeks ago. I am very new into precious metals, although I was into numismatics when I was a youngun'. Just made my first PM purchase a couple weeks ago, bought some Pan American silver 1 oz bars (30), some NWT Mint "silver trade units" 1 oz rounds (10), and 2 5 oz Pan American bars. After reading this site the thought occurred to me that the government can easily obtain credit card records thanks to various national security statutes and if a crisis ever occurred I would probably be required to turn in my (known) PM stockpile. So, I went out and purchased two 1/4 oz gold coins: a 1991 Chinese 1/4 oz Panda, and a 2007 Australian 1/4 oz Pig. Cash transactions are much better- however this place was run by fascists who made me sign the receipt for their "records" ...I signed "George W. Bush" anyways nice to be on this forum can't wait for some good discussions with some like minded individuals. Cheers.
