A quick hello -- I am an Aussie briefly visiting the UK.  Actually just after 1 coin as a gift for my daughter -- will be so happy to find one, perhaps on this forum.

WIshing you all the best into year end.  If you have any questions about Australia, please ask :)

You've come a long way just for one coin.

Some of us trade online, and post internationally, although we rarely offer "free postage"

What sort of coin do you want?

You could put up a wanted ad here as long as you have a postal address that can ship to, or you could go to one of the dealers in London and buy one - Gerrards, Sharps Pixley, Hatton Garden Metals or some such (there are several in the Hatton Garden area).  The latter might be easier if you're touristing.

The Sovereign is the quintessentially British coin.  It has a German queen on the front, an Italian waiter on the back, and half of them were made in Australia.

Thanks for the warm welcome all, quite hilarious too. To individuals:

Thanks @Darr3nG, we strictly only watch Crocodile Dundee while drinking a Fosters.

Thanks @LawrenceChard, I lol'd hard, not much else to say.  [On the other hand, each child also receives something small from the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Coin Collection, and I hope they arrive before I fly in January!]. Love the website too and I am watching for my target coin to be potentially relisted there :).

I appreciate it @James32, and the answer is "Yes", especially in my current home where the fire alarm is above the stove top.  Not sure how else I am supposed to cook.  Then again, I am just thankful I managed to figure out how to live with the dual hot and cold water taps -- no need to combine them after all!

Thanks @Orpster, it's the unicorn of @Darr3nG that I coincidentally missed by just a few hours -- but I will make a proper wanted post in UK Ungraded Buy/Sell/Trade once I am able to post threads there.

Thanks @Happypanda88, @trp -- you're a pleasant lot, not like my neighbour who got cross that I put a small amount of non-offensive rubbish into his near-empty bin yesterday, and before bin day.  Oops.

I appreciate it @Silverlocks, despite my heavy Googling last Sunday 2 of those websites were new to me, and I will keep them on my watchlist.

Thanks @daca, and my bingo card says quite a ride it will be -- don't mob me but I won't be surprised to see gold trade 10% lower from here over 12 months (in my preferred numeraire, USD).  Hopefully we can get through what I expect to be a decent crunch on all of us, and be good to each other in months ahead.
