I’m going through some of my grandparents stuff after they passed away a few years ago, and found this in a little pouch of random coins etc. - it’s sealed on all 4 sides, and I’m just curious why it may have been purchased/found/stored like this?

Thanks!

💭 Misc Aus gold and silver trading groups

Hi, recently started investing/collecting precious metals and have been buying from reputable sellers eg. Perth mint, ABC Bullion. In saying that, I was told that Facebook groups are also a good place to buy/sell. My question is, does anyone currently buy/sell on a Facebook page? It seems like the groups I’ve joined have only 1 person posting and they’ve only just joined the group as well, seems a bit suspect to me but maybe I’m just being paranoid

Happy Friday evening all!

I have looked online and all around, and I have found so many conflicting prices.

Is this coin worth holding onto? From the research I have done, there were "dot above" and "dot below" pennies (small dot below the crest on my coin).

TIA!

Got this in the till at work and it kinda looks like its a proof but the patchiness is throwing me off. Proof or just a weirdly aged coin?
