| 5751 | A photo guide would have been useful here as obviously nobody agreed with the grading. The shilling reverse is a shocker. alpha111 - 2015-03-19 16:32:00 |
| 5752 | 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. alpha111 - 2015-03-19 16:34:00 |
| 5753 | I've uploaded a scan of the relevant sections of Clarke here. The Australian series is included as he cross-references some of the NZ descriptions. translateltd - 2015-03-19 17:24:00 |

| 5757 | Now we are getting copied legal tender NZ coinage. 862144756 gammoner - 2015-03-21 19:23:00 |

The 1983 dollar copies with the dodgy date digit have been doing the rounds for a while. They're usually the older, gun-metal grey forgeries that are pretty obvious at first glance. Interesting that sellers are turning up with not-very-good English and a name consisting of just two repeated letters (cc, qq) when you look at their profiles. translateltd - 2015-03-21 20:29:00 |

I would have thought the trader and TM could get into trouble with the reserve bank for allowing the sale of forged NZ legal tender. It is after all a forgery and not a copy not having copy on it. chrisr5 - 2015-03-22 08:33:00 |

Trademe use the position that they do not check every listing so it is up to the trademe community to report it and they will look into it further. So we often have to report auctions of copyrighted items from the same users time and time again. You could always take it one step further and report directly to the NZ police as the reserve bank would not deal directly with the problem is what I have been told. I sometimes see the comparison between megaupload and trademe they have both knowingly facilitated the distribution of illegal / copyrighted material but I had better keep quiet lol mudeki - 2015-03-22 10:29:00 |
| 5761 | And there is also the question of whether or not it is legal tender now. If not, it falls under fraud more than forged money, as such. Is it just me, or does the effigy of the queen look like the engraver asked a local friend of his to sit as a model? echoriath - 2015-03-22 11:10:00 |

The Chinese copy isn't the most accurate - though if you mean the original effigy by Machin, remember it was made in the early 1960s, long before it was introduced on NZ coinage :-) translateltd - 2015-03-22 11:40:00 |

Just wonder if they would speed up shutting these down if it were a forged $100 NZ banknote. What is the difference other than the denominated value? gammoner - 2015-03-22 18:59:00 |

It's because they're "rear". If they were nearer the front you'd see them better. translateltd - 2015-03-22 19:59:00 |
| 5771 | These are getting very scarce now, Don't often see them coming up for auction. 860836853 gammoner - 2015-03-22 20:04:00 |
| 5772 | This was obviously the bigger brother to the previous scarce item as had a higher reserve set. 860869622 gammoner - 2015-03-22 20:08:00 |
| 5773 | But wait, there is more. Someone else also found this one a collectable item, but being the little baby brother of the above two ,probably like me didn't want to split the family up. 860728376 gammoner - 2015-03-22 20:10:00 |
| 5774 | These were the twin sisters, 860669794 and 860686635 . Phew , nobody claimed them, just hope they don't have to go through this stressful experience ever again. gammoner - 2015-03-22 20:14:00 |
| 5775 | My favorites this week are still 861599451 , 861791466 and they have paid 55cents for a subtitle lmao mudeki - 2015-03-22 20:19:00 |

Does the photo get removed straight away when the auction closes now?! chrisr5 - 2015-03-22 20:27:00 |
| 5777 | Wondering about those "serial number" items - someone filled in the wrong field in an automatic listing program? translateltd - 2015-03-22 20:28:00 |
| 5778 | Why would anyone expect to get $12 for a crappy Chinese knockoff (862144041) when an original is probably worth $5 in perfect condition? translateltd - 2015-03-22 21:17:00 |

It is their own Cash Converter store number, allocated for any item they purchase or sell ( some will have a specific prefix for a bought outright item, others for an unredeemed pawn loan.) gammoner - 2015-03-22 22:10:00 |

Oh C'mon , give the seller a break as both would be graded as AUNC by a few others that list on here.If he waits till 2034 ,may just get that $450 to $500. gammoner - 2015-03-22 22:17:00 |

That's what I figured - that presumably belongs in a reference field rather than an item header. translateltd - 2015-03-23 07:37:00 |
| 5783 | I emailed the reserve bank and it looks like they will be asking TM to remove the NCLT copy. chrisr5 - 2015-03-23 14:45:00 |
| 5784 | Have just noticed that the PO is calling the new ANZAC 50 cent coin as the first commemorative for circulation. Does anyone know if the 1940 halfcrown was sold as a commem. or just poured into circulation? I was not collecting coins in 1940. taidhg - 2015-03-23 15:40:00 |
| 5785 | taidhg wrote:
It was released into circulation. I've already e-mailed NZP to suggest they reword to say the new coin is the first *decimal* circulating commem but have been ignored so far - maybe a few more voices will get some action. translateltd - 2015-03-23 16:22:00 |

They tell me it's been removed now. translateltd - 2015-03-23 16:24:00 |

TM unsurprisingly ignored the community watch I sent them until after I heard and presumably they heard from the reserve bank. chrisr5 - 2015-03-23 16:58:00 |

Didn't some of the kingfisher $2 coins get released into circulation? I could well be wrong on that but the first few I found were in circulation and helped get my interest in collecting coins Edited by mudeki at 6:50 pm, Mon 23 Mar mudeki - 2015-03-23 18:48:00 |

| 5793 | ANZAC 50cent rolls. Obverse/Obverse 11x, Obverse/Reverse 23x, Reverse/Reverse 6x Perhaps other collectors might like to waste a few minutes doing a similar survey. You never know, a numismatist in the dim, distant future may find this of interest. taidhg - 2015-03-24 12:29:00 |
