Complete Date Set of Australian Decimal Coins 1966~2003 Housed in a Dansco Albums
Obverse: Elizabeth II to right, legend around

Total Number of Coins: 255
Each coin in this collection remains in mint uncirculated condition.
Interest in Australian decimal coins struck for circulation has really come along in the past couple of years - a very wide range of collectors are now slowly but surely working towards a complete set that looks exactly like this.
The 50th anniversary of the introduction of decimal currency has bestowed the series with respect - there is a lot more complexity to Australia's decimal coins than many collectors have appreciated previously.
That complexity and affordability is why they're so interesting to collectors. Many individual coins can be quite difficult hard to track down in decent quality, but still won't break the bank.
More than a few collectors are slowly working towards a complete set of circulating decimal coins - they are affordable and interesting, many are quite tough to get in attractive quality.
This particular set of coins looks to have been put together by a collector that was quite particular about quality - nearly all of the copper coins retain their original “full red” patina, and very few of the copper-nickel coins are showing any spots or PVC haze. This set is a premium collection that could be built on, or kept as is.
