Hi from NSW, Australia

[herne13]

Hello Folx.

I am a 70 yr old male living in New South Wales, Australia and very new to numismatics, yeah I agree I have left it a bit late lol.

Whilst being open to many various coins I am particularly interested in  the coloured Lunar series 1, 2 and 3.

My preference is for Proof and Uncirculated and especially the Opal series.  Why Opal?  I just like the look of them and hope over many years they appreciate in value as they will go to my son.

Anything else you want to know about me please ask.  My real name is Alan.

Greetings buddy, got a lot of family in NSW

[herne13]

Thanks guys.  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kimchi, NSW is not a bad place to live, I live in a very small rural village now, we used to live in Canberra but I would not go back there again, we love the slow rural life where we might only see 10 cars per day.  Peace at last lol.

Lovely! Some of my folks were 'ten pound pommes' who settled in Sydney and Canberra, now some of them have moved further north, but lots of kids and grandkids in and around Sydney.

My cousin lives in a little place up there not too far from the coast, but I won't post the place in public just to be a bit private on this public forum Another relative was sent there during the war but came back after, so I don't mind posting where that was - Garangula if you've ever heard of it. Talk about rural!!!

[herne13]

Ahh yes I know of Garangula, it is not far from where I live and yes it's very rural   It's a lovely property!

I dont think I will ever be considered a stacker, more of a coin collector on a very small scale

That's probably a better description for me to be honest. I don't buy bars only coins. My main collection is bullion coins gold and silver but I'm just moving into picking up some proofs. My only proof coin from Perth Mint is my 5oz Dragon and Nine Sons High Relief piece. I love the design!
