| 6951 | 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 chefman1 - 2015-10-01 20:33:00 |

See G#43 in the John Bertrand (Premier) catalogue. Probably worth a little less in the absence of the farthing or US cent that would originally have gone in the middle but quite a scarce item as I understand it. translateltd - 2015-10-04 21:00:00 |
| 6961 | Hey Martin, is there any chance you could please scan and email me through the page? I totally understand if you can't... Thanks for your help.. What year Farthing or US Cent would it have in it do you know? cashintheattic - 2015-10-04 22:19:00 |

Not sure about dates - the Premier catalogue page isn't illustrated, just a one-line description. Terry Roker reports an ad showing the issuer being in business in 1919, if that's any guide. translateltd - 2015-10-04 23:17:00 |

Thought someone else would have noticed and made a comment on recent circulated, cupro nickel NZ pre decimal coin sales. 5 auctions with a total face value of $63.60 went for an amazing $1397.57. gammoner - 2015-10-12 10:18:00 |
| 6973 | The new notes look rather nice i think it is a nice change. Not as bright as I was expecting as they are darker than the old series lol mudeki - 2015-10-12 13:49:00 |

I visited a few of the big banks this morning in Auckland and none had any yet :( numismatist - 2015-10-12 14:15:00 |

My branch got them at about lunch time so I went in on my day off to get some. The plan was by some banks that most branches would get a few (probably only 1 bundle of each) delived somtime this week but it depends on when the security companies are able to transport them. mudeki - 2015-10-12 14:59:00 |
| 6976 | I reckon it's pretty rotten really. But then I suppose it ain't any of my business. So I wont say anything. But why pay 250 for a 50 coin, when you could have got the same coin, only much better, for 100 less? Or is there something I don't know about? dtpapa - 2015-10-12 19:42:00 |
| 6977 | I would not have a problem with the one on trademe if the grading was even somewhat close but it does not look anything like UNC to me mudeki - 2015-10-12 20:43:00 |

Has anyone seen another one of these? metcalfj - 2015-10-12 21:36:00 |
| 6979 | if you have a reserve of 250, then a buyer should be able to reasonably expect that that value is a reasonable price, and the condition of the coin is indeed consistent with that valuation. dtpapa - 2015-10-12 21:50:00 |

Nope do you think they coated with to much copper? Plated steel coins differ from older cupronickel coins which were demonetised in November 2006. During the manufacturing process the steel core is covered with layers of nickel and copper, giving the coin its characteristic colour and surface. mudeki - 2015-10-12 23:11:00 |

I think they lacked the outermost layer. I seem to remember another turning up somewhere but can't think of the specifics right now. translateltd - 2015-10-13 07:04:00 |

Why is it rotten?. If the buyer is happy with the coin and the seller is happy with the price then you're right I suppose ... it is none of your business pottynz - 2015-10-13 07:40:00 |
| 6984 | Buyer may be happy enough for now, but once he takes it to be valued, or shows it to someone who knows about such things "You paid how much for that?" or words to that effect!! Edited by dtpapa at 3:59 pm, Tue 13 Oct dtpapa - 2015-10-13 15:58:00 |

so the seller has no responsibilities at all, that is what you are saying? I'd have to disagree. The customer ought to be respected, at least. And helped, if you want to call yourself any sort of a decent person, let alone a good and noble seller! Edited by dtpapa at 4:03 pm, Tue 13 Oct dtpapa - 2015-10-13 16:02:00 |

It's up to the buyer to educate themselves. If they don't learn then the rule of " a fool and his money" apply. There are so many areas of research open to any buyer these days that if you are going to pay over the top dollars for an item then you are either really lazy or really stupid. pottynz - 2015-10-13 18:12:00 |
| 6988 | dtpapa wrote:
The seller has one basic responsibility and that is to describe and display an item as honestly as they can. The buyer is free to question the buyer and if they are not happy with the price / condition / description then they are free to walk away from the deal ... it ain't rocket science mate ... pottynz - 2015-10-13 18:15:00 |
| 6989 | why must the buyer be compelled to question price/condition/description? Are you suggesting the default position should be to consider all sellers to be miserable ratbags, whose sole intent is to shaft unsuspecting buyers? dtpapa - 2015-10-13 19:05:00 |
| 6990 | Well, that would give a measure of self-assurance ? funho1 - 2015-10-13 19:13:00 |

The buyer is not compelled at all , they are free to look , research , ask questions and come to their own conclusion that an item is either worth buying or bidding on to an amount they consider its worth OR they are free to walk away from the transaction / auction. Some sellers are miserable ratbags just the same as some buyers are moaning old tossers. I consider both examples to be in the vast minority and the 99% of the transactions I have had on here are very pleasant . As I said , it ain't rocket science Edited by pottynz at 7:30 pm, Tue 13 Oct pottynz - 2015-10-13 19:24:00 |
| 6992 | A. Thank you for the question. Your suspicions were correct. The coin is not UNC, indeed you'd be pushing your luck to call it AU. As for the price, your inference that it was a little on the high side was right on the mark! Indeed, it is many multiples too high. I hope this answers your question, and don't forget to bid!

| 6998 | Love the answer to the question on postage especially! Well done Mudeki. And well done for keeping it positive with all the snarky questions and daft ones!
