| 6801 | 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. Edited by chefman1 at 6:35 pm, Sun 9 Aug chefman1 - 2015-08-09 18:34:00 |

| 6809 | Honesty is the best policy unless you are commenting on a scam, then you are sabotaging someone's auction and potentially reducing Trade Me's profit. alpha111 - 2015-08-12 21:12:00 |

| 6819 | We have been given a large number of old coins by my Mum from a deceased estate but we have no idea of value. Any idea on how we can value them, websites perhaps? Thanks selmaz - 2015-08-16 19:57:00 |

Hi, what are the predominant countries of the coins. gammoner - 2015-08-16 21:31:00 |
| 6821 | Hi gammoner, thank you for your response. Predominantly New Zealand and Australia pre decimal, all loose. How do I show pics on here? selmaz - 2015-08-16 22:03:00 |
| 6822 | Photos can be uploaded by clicking https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/MyPhotos.aspx Upload the photos then go back and click on them and copy and paste the link to the forum mudeki - 2015-08-16 22:07:00 |
| 6823 | NZ 1933 to 1946 silver coinage contains 50% silver and Oz 1910 to 1963 silver coinage will probably be your better value coins. For the copper and cupro coinage will greatly depend on condition. gammoner - 2015-08-16 22:11:00 |
| 6824 | Key things to look for is condition and any Silver coins made in NZ before 1946 as these are made of half silver. Apart from that there are a few varieties to look for that are worth more but again condition is key. mudeki - 2015-08-16 22:12:00 |
| 6825 | We have about 40 pre 1946 NZ threepence... We also have quite a few Great Britain coins. Will see if I can get some good photos up tomorrow. Thank you for your help gammoner and mudeki. selmaz - 2015-08-16 22:24:00 |
| 6826 | For the GB silver coinage ,pre 1920 is .925 sterling and 1920 to 1946 is 50% silver. Good hunting. gammoner - 2015-08-16 22:29:00 |
| 6827 | There is also a local registered numismatic dealer in palmy that you could try http://yellow.co.nz/y/harbour-city-coins If he is not able to help let me know via the site below as I am always keen to help people get into the hobby. If you are just wanting to sell them I am probably not the best person to ask but often meet people in weekends to see what they have. http://www.coinerrors.co.nz/ mudeki - 2015-08-16 22:32:00 |
| 6828 | For the NZ 3d,s 1935 is the money year to find. As worn circulated value only, would expect those 40 to return about $30 to $45 on recent Trademe sales. gammoner - 2015-08-16 22:33:00 |
| 6829 | Thanks gammoner. We also have an interesting one that says Advance Australia One Penny there is no date, is this real currency? selmaz - 2015-08-16 22:34:00 |

Sounds like a 19th century tradesman's token. Is there an issuer's name on the other side? translateltd - 2015-08-16 22:36:00 |
| 6831 | Thank you mudeki, we really just want to sell them for my mum, just looking for the easiest way. I realise it's difficult without getting right into the middle of it. I will try the Palmy dealer you suggested. selmaz - 2015-08-16 22:37:00 |

The only other info on the coin we can see is 'New South Wales' it has a picture of a woman holding scales. selmaz - 2015-08-16 22:39:00 |

Sounds like a Whitty & Brown Trade Token 3 different varieties with the woman holding scales and the words One Penny on the other side price range in the catalogue from $30-$150 but very dependent on condition does it look like this http://downies.com/aca/Auction317/aca/images/lots/317/829.jp Edited by mudeki at 10:45 pm, Sun 16 Aug mudeki - 2015-08-16 22:42:00 |

Oh nice. I wonder how it ended up in your mums collection as you don't often see many aussie tokens here well I haven't anyway lol mudeki - 2015-08-16 22:55:00 |
| 6838 | I have no idea! There is allsorts here, it's mind boggling :) selmaz - 2015-08-16 23:00:00 |
| 6839 | Is it just a medal? Would expect the coin to have 50 Yuan on it, not 5 Oz, but could be wrong here. loaferrr - 2015-08-17 00:14:00 |

It's a bullion piece at best. Once you get into items that were never intended for circulation, the difference between "coin" and "medal" starts to get a bit blurry anyway. translateltd - 2015-08-17 07:27:00 |
| 6841 | so my research says, the item "borrows' design from the 50 Yuan coin, but has some differences. loaferrr - 2015-08-17 21:21:00 |
| 6842 | loaferrr wrote:
I couldn't find it in the standard Krause catalogue, the Schön world coin catalogue, or the Krause "Unusual World Coins" volume. UWC lists some bullion issues but not all, and of course catalogues can't be totally comprehensive. Odd that it doesn't make any of the three, though. translateltd - 2015-08-18 08:11:00 |
| 6843 | Hmm I though Krause would have it, as at NGC site it has a ref. KM-926 The original thing could be seen at NGC website the item listed was probably a copy 'utilising' the desired design. The copy smartly had no 50 Yuan on it and some small differences. loaferrr - 2015-08-18 16:58:00 |
| 6844 | KM 926 is the 50 yuan reference piece - because Krause numbering isn't sequential I had to look in Schön first, which quotes the Krause numbers as well as its own. translateltd - 2015-08-18 17:06:00 |
| 6845 | Looks like this thing caught someone's attention, as well. and a similar item I wonder if the buyer got 999 silver. loaferrr - 2015-08-18 17:42:00 |
| 6846 | Here is my post on a medallion alpha111 - 2015-08-18 19:11:00 |
| 6847 | I had a similarly unpleasant response from a seller recently when I asked for a "Plan B" option: in case none of the folks working on the medal catalogue project were successful in buying his item, would he be able to provide us with images so we could still list it? Most sellers we've approached have been very obliging, but in this case I got a rather condescending reply telling me to buy it if I wanted to list it. The sound of a point being missed :-) So I'm in no hurry - the price can come down quite a bit first, or it can go unrecorded. translateltd - 2015-08-18 22:52:00 |

After searching the net I cant find another one but they will turn up. His prices are similar to other items are listed for elsewhere but after his response to your question I would not want to deal with him anyway. mudeki - 2015-08-18 23:29:00 |
