THE NEW COIN CLUB

| 5051 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies and oldbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for oldbies and newbies, amateurs and experts in coin collecting, also known as numismatics. Whether you are just getting started, have been collecting for years or have simply found some old coins about the place that you’d like to sell, this is the place to ask your questions. No one has all the answers, and you may get five differing answers to the same question, yet each may be right in a manner of speaking, especially if opinions are involved. Opinions often vary. If you receive no answer to your query within 48 hours, please ask again. translateltd - 2014-11-25 23:29:00 |
| 5052 | The sample "ISIS/ISIL" coins I saw on-line had the weight in grams below the denomination - that's a good traditional Middle Eastern unit for them to pick! translateltd - 2014-11-25 23:31:00 |
| 5053 | Hey Martin (Translateltd) here are some pictures of the Railway Token/Coin/Medal the membership number is 406. I thought this is the best place to put the pictures otherwise they are too large to email. What should I list it under on Trade Me? Cheers cashintheattic - 2014-11-26 14:59:00 |
| 5054 | I use eco store grapefruit dishwash liquid. About 5 mins per coin is usually plenty. dtpapa - 2014-11-26 15:02:00 |
| 5055 | Some bargain NZ coins to be had on ebay!! dtpapa - 2014-11-26 15:03:00 |
| 5056 | Good find! The Exonumia category is probably the most appropriate - would be nice to have a separate category for NZ Commemorative Medals, but then I'm biased :-) translateltd - 2014-11-26 15:04:00 |
| 5057 | This site, I have just looked at it as I found a bag of coins I have had for years, I would love to find out more about then, any suggestions on "how" to start , I hope I can find out from this site. Most coins are N.Z. & Aust. mary92 - 2014-11-26 16:30:00 |

| 5061 | Could someone tell me about a coin I have 1916 Shilling George V1. Please. I find this site interesting, also what do you clean old coins with including penny (copper) ah mary92 - 2014-11-26 20:31:00 |

The basic rule is not to clean coins at all if possible. If they have any value they'd be worth more untouched and a bit grubby than cleaned and shiny. We'd need more detail about the 1916 shilling - is it British (lion on crown) or Australian? Photos would be good to get an idea of condition, too. I put a link up a couple of pages back with a guide to grading coins, which might be helpful - I'll repost it here in a mo. Newcomers to coins often think they're in much better condition than they really are until their 'eye' becomes trained - the guide in RL Clarke's book on "the Coins of British Oceania" is one of the best I've seen for the NZ and Australian series. translateltd - 2014-11-26 20:41:00 |

| 5068 | I think you will find that only Trade Me has the luxury of deleting other people's posts, leaving a messgae that says "This message was deleted." Others can report a post, and if it violates the policies of the message board, TM will delete it. We can also delete or edit our own posts in the first fifteen minutes after we click "Post Message". echoriath - 2014-11-27 02:59:00 |

Maybe not quite ideal but all we can do for the moment is watch and report anything that needs to go under that heading. It isn't going to get them off the market but TM isn't going to take that step - it should at least encourage traders to be honest about their knock-offs - that's the intention, anyway. translateltd - 2014-11-27 15:15:00 |
| 5071 | I agree with Translatltd not the ideal outcome but a step in the right direction to get them all listed in one place. I think it would also stop new collectors getting caught out by thinking it is the real item. It still wont protect sellers from selling counterfeit coins like the LOTR commemorative dollars as they are still regarded as legal tender mudeki - 2014-11-27 17:49:00 |

Not meaning to be cheeky, but how are these counterfeits if they are indeed legal tender? Sorry, I have not come across them, so maybe I am just missing something. Are we talking something produced in the Pitcairns or similar? echoriath - 2014-11-28 03:18:00 |

The LOTR coins are coin-like-objects (CLO, or NCLT) produced for NZ about ten years ago when LOTR was all the rage. There are Chinese copies of the "one ring" coin around, which TM *will* pull, as the genuine ones are legal tender, if only theoretically. translateltd - 2014-11-28 06:40:00 |
| 5075 | After the series of 48 LOTR commems came out, the Reserve Bank said it wouldn't happen again - a few of us said it was getting too close to the Isle of Man or the Marshall Islands for comfort - but with some changes of authority and personnel at the issuing end the theme is recurring, though thankfully not in the same numbers. translateltd - 2014-11-28 06:42:00 |

To add to what translateltd said there have been 4 sales of these coins that were completed 2 of them I purchased as it took to long for the auctions to be removed the other 2 went to unsuspecting buyers i would assume. Trademe generally remove them once they are reported and I have a comparison between them on the coinerrors website http://wp.me/P4A88C-1y0 They are rather well done and in July at the RNSNZ conference I approached NZPost and the Reserve bank with these they were very shocked to see the modern commemorative copied and struggled to identify what was the original and what was the fake lol. Most of the LOTR coins on the big auction site are now the fakes. they cost about $2-$3 NZD when ordering direct from china mudeki - 2014-11-28 10:13:00 |

| 5079 | coin new Hi Peter, Regards, This email is to let you know that Trade Me has recently changed our policy in relation to how reproduction coins are represented on the site. We now have a new category for reproduction coins. We have created this category to help avoid confusion around the difference between originals and reproduction coins. Trade Me allows the sale of reproduction coins when the following two requirements are complied with: 1. the word ‘reproduction’ is used to describe the coin; and If you are selling reproduction coins please list them in this new category. If you are selling original coins please list them in the existing coins category. For more information on what the two requirements above mean to you if you want to sell reproduction coins please see our recent Trust & Safety blog post on the topic. It is important that you comply with our new policy to avoid breaching intellectual property requirements and being in breach of the Fair Trading Act. You can read more about this in our blog post. Our reproduction coin category is live to site now and over the next few days we will begin a process of migrating listings into the new category. In terms of commemoration or souvenir coins, if they are original issues, they should be listed in the coins category. If they are reproductions, they should go into the reproduction category. Note that intellectual property rights will apply to packaging and the like of commemorative sets and souvenir packages. Any listings in breach of this more general artistic copyright will be removed. Thanks for your cooperations – happy trading. chefman1 - 2014-11-28 16:43:00 |

| 5083 | Trademe removed it :-). It will be interesting to see how many repro coins are currently listed when they all get moved mudeki - 2014-11-28 20:16:00 |

article posted by chefman: "The Otaki-based listed company said yesterday disappointing trading had resulted in a $709,000 interim operating loss, driven by particularly poor performances at Mowbray Bethunes, a rare book department, and Peter Webb Galleries in Auckland. Mowbray's stamp and coin business was trading ahead of last year and cash flows were in line with budget. Recent changes to the Fair Trading Act had impacted on auction sales, it said. The recent change in the Fair Trading Act with regard to auction houses and the requirement for the disclosure of each and every vendor bid as it is given has definitely impacted sales on auction night and results in more negotiated sales pre or post auction." echoriath - 2014-11-29 10:57:00 |

Crudely this means that the vendor/seller can bid on his/her own auction provided there is previous notification that the seller can do this at the auction, there is a known reserve and only up to that reserve. alpha111 - 2014-11-29 12:36:00 |

| 5097 | 1967 New Zealand five cent piece. According to the http://www.rnsnz.org.nz/nci.asp 1967 5 cent, “No sea”: Lines representing the sea missing to the right of the tuatara; 1967 5 cent, “No tail”: Small triangular area of tail under the tuatara’s chin missing; Im guessing its "not every 1967 five cent piece" with these features missing? Just asking because I have a couple of these coins and its hard to tell. Edited by brett21 at 2:43 pm, Mon 1 Dec brett21 - 2014-12-01 14:43:00 |
