Why is Dame Mary Gilmore on the Australian Ten Dollar note?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes.

Despite her not so brilliant arrival in Australia as a convicted horse thief in 1792, she redeemed herself and married businessman Thomas Reibey. By the time Thomas died, the family business consisted of farms and various trading enterprises.

Mary assumed full responsibility for her late husbands business. She managed the businesses extremely well and expanded her shipping interests and opened new warehouses.

What she would have been known for is her extensive charitable works, and her interest in the church and education. She was a well known and highly respected colonial philanthropist.

What is the value of a Commonwealth of Australia Twenty Dollar note with the prefix XAB?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The "Commonwealth of Australia" 10 Dollar paper note was issued in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1972 and are no longer in circulation. After these issues, "Commonwealth of" was dropped. If it has been circulated and there is nothing unusual about it, it might fetch up to face value or a little more. If there is something unusual about it like the first of a series, all serial digits the same, a "Star" note, a notable defect in printing, etc., and it is still in very good condition or better, it might fetch up to $850 AUD or more. If it is uncirculated and there is nothing unusual about it, and in mint condition, it might fetch up to $220 AUD. If there is something unusual about it as previously described, it might fetch up to $14,000 AUD or more.

What is the value of an Australian misprinted Two Dollar note?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any banknote with a "genuine" printing flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible.

Genuinely flawed banknotes are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the printing process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the note printing works therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the banknote as genuine and make a valuation.

What is the value of a 2006 Australian 2 cent coin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is extremely unlikely that an Australian decimal coin with minting errors survived the inspection process and went into general circulation. The closest acknowledgement of an error on an Australian 2 cent coin is that in 1967, 1968 and 1981, the designers initials were left off the reverse of the coin. If it turns out that you do have an Australian coin with a genuine minting error, take it to a reputable coin dealer for a valuation.

How much is Australian One Dollar note with serial number starting DND?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Knowing whose signatures are on it would help, but with serial letters DND, it might be 1979 to 1981(?). If it has been circulated, you might get 2 or 3 dollars for it, if it is in good condition. If it is uncirculated and is in "absolute" mint condition, you night get as much as 10 dollars for it. If it is uncirculated and is in "absolute" mint condition, and has something unique about it like all digits the same (DND 111111) you night get as much as 50 dollars for it.

What could you sell Australian uncirculated coin sets from 1966 to 2010?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Year sets of Mint Uncirculated Australian coins in absolute mint condition and their original packaging, depending on the year, the method of packaging and presentation and where they were minted, could fetch anything from $12 to $120 AUD per set.

This is a good return on the pre-1987 sets which initially sold for a mere $1 to $5 AUD per set in their respective years of issue.

I suggest you find a reputable coin dealer in your area and take the collection off for a valuation.

What is the value of an Australian 20 pence coin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are suggesting that you have an Australian 20 cent coin with the same image on both sides, there is almost no chance this could occur with modern minting processes.

Nothing is impossible, but because of the way the dies are fitted together, one side of the coin would have to be incuse, or the image indented into the coin rather than raised. This can be caused by the previously struck coin not being ejected from the die before the new blank was inserted and the incuse image being the result of the new blank being struck against and already struck coin. Coins mistruck in this manner are unlikely to get past the quality control and into circulation.

Most likely, you have a trick or novelty coin sold by magic shops.

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

Is there a 1965 Australian coin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.

In 1965 the government ordered the Mint to strike coins without mint marks regardless of where they were produced. The previous year had seen a major coin shortage due to a run-up in the price of silver that made it worthwhile for people to take coins out of circulation and melt them. In its infinite wisdom Congress chose to place the blame on coin collectors instead of on speculators in the precious-metals market, so to reduce the collectibility of circulation coins they ordered the removal of mint marks along with a change in metal from 90% silver to the current copper-nickel clad "sandwich" composition. In addition, coinage of proof sets was suspended to allow all facilities to be used to strike coins for circulation.

Circulation coins were struck at both Philadelphia and Denver, while collectors were thrown a bone by issuing so-called Special Mint Sets. These were struck at San Francisco but do not carry a mint mark.

By the end of 1967 a sufficient stock of clad coins had entered circulation and the shortage was effectively over, so the government allowed mint marks to be re-introduced starting in 1968. One major difference was that prior to 1965, all denominations except the cent had mint marks on the reverse side. Starting in 1968, mint marks were moved to the obverse of all denominations where they remain today.

One further note - prior to 1980, Philadelphia coins did not carry a mint mark. Starting with the 1979 SBA dollar and extending to all other denominations except the cent in 1980, Philadelphia began using a "P" mint mark. So, any pre-1980 coins you find without a mint mark are not errors, they're just from Philadelphia.
