1813 New South Wales Dump

The 1813 Dump is one of Australia's most iconic coins, minted alongside the legendary Holey Dollar to address the colony’s early currency shortage. Struck in colonial Sydney, it remains a cornerstone for collectors, historians, and investors chasing provenance and rarity. The present coin stands well above most: it is crisply struck and well centred, with clear detail from the host coin, visually clean, and free of pitting, edge knocks, discolouration, or planchet flaws. If you’re building a serious collection, this coin is a must-have. Ex-1940s Sydney dealer Dave Raymond; ex-Noble Numismatics, Sale 92 (November 2009). Rarely offered in this grade, and second-finest graded by PCGS (2/26).
