From the Maitland Mercury report:
A rare uncirculated coin has fetched $1600 at a Maitland auction, $400 above its reserve price.
Maitland and District Coin Club sales secretary Steve Schumacher said last Monday’s auction attracted about 50 people and resulted in some top sales.
“Most items sold over the reserve with a 1938 Australian Crown bringing $120, an Australian 1946 Penny fetching $55 and a 1954 Florin $50,” Mr Schumacher said.
But the highlight of the auction was the sale of the 1967 Australian Pattern Goose Dollar which had a reserve price of $1200.
