Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 223. Included in this Sale is an Australian 1918 M Florin PCGS MS64+ that I would personally place in the top echelon of Australian Florins of any date. It is a stunner in terms of old-world toning on near perfect surfaces and why it is not a tick or two higher befuddles me. I can only assume that a break in the colour below the King’s portrait on the obverse has been mistaken for a scratch as otherwise I can’t for the life of me see why it is not vying for the top position for this date. If you like toning on coins then take a good look at the 1910 Florin PCGS MS65 also which has only two ‘+’ grade coins above it. There is also a space and aviation theme sprinkled through the lots on offer. Two coins from Alderney and the Isle of Man feature the famous ‘Concorde’ aircraft and there is also an Apollo II coin from Yemen. But more importantly there are two photographs taken by Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, which are signed by Buzz Aldrin who followed him down the ladder. Truly inspiring stuff in contrast to the banality of so-called Guinness ‘world records.’ With the Legislation for a Referendum for a ‘First Nations Voice to Parliament’ having just passed Parliament we though it timely to include a few photos of Australian Aborigines taken circa 1900. At this time, they were photographed as exotic curiosities and not truly part of the Australian population which only included them in the official census count from 1967. Perhaps at the end of the year their formal recognition in the Australian Constitution and an avenue to steer their own destiny will address a lot of the unfinished business that has permeated Australian Society. The Sale also includes a good selection of coins from Australia and the World as well as some other desirable collectables and jewellery. Smalls Auctions
