| 7551 | 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. echoriath - 2016-05-31 21:13:00 |
| 7552 | and again. 1096929312 D should not touch crown & the edge is horrible. Edited by numismatist at 9:26 pm, Tue 31 May numismatist - 2016-05-31 21:19:00 |
| 7553 | Ok, I am reasonably confident these are not forgeries, but I am in need of guidance as both appear to have varieties, and I am struggling to delineate/distinguish differences, especially on the 1861: https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/483934075.jpg And a close-up of just the obverse of the 1886-M: Are there other variations on either side of this standard 1886 dragon reverse? Opinions on grade are also welcome, as these are a bit out of my ken. I appreciate that the 1861 is pretty worn. echoriath - 2016-05-31 21:33:00 |

That's a huge 6 in the date of the 1886 sov. I'm not an expert in this series but I'd want to research the date varieties to be sure with this one. translateltd - 2016-05-31 23:41:00 |

Fair question, since that's something that became a little trickier to do when TradeMe made the process harder to find a few years back. If you look at the little magnifying glass to the right of the main search bar towards the top of the page, just to the right of the magnifying glass there's a "V" symbol. It's a little wider, but looks a lot like that. On my laptop, it's nearly dead center of the screen, but easy to miss if you don't know what it is or why it's there. Left click on that and the option to "Search Expired Listings" comes up. echoriath - 2016-06-01 06:26:00 |

Definition of restrike. : a coin or medal struck from an original die at some time after the original issue. I can assure you that coin was not struck from the original die. Being that it does not mention reproduction anywhere on the coin it's clearly a forgery. With that in mind it shouldn't be on Trademe even under the replica category. Perhaps Trademe need to make clear the difference between a Restrike, Replica & Forgery. Edited by numismatist at 1:28 pm, Wed 1 Jun numismatist - 2016-06-01 13:24:00 |

All TM will do is move it to the "Reproductions" category. Claims by sellers that seem to be at variance with reality, or the item's known history, don't enter into it, unfortunately. translateltd - 2016-06-01 16:44:00 |

| 7567 | I don't have time for a closer look, but www.lefranc.net is a good reference for prices on French coins . May not answer your question though. echoriath - 2016-06-03 10:20:00 |

Because there are always dreamers? There are rare essais/piedforts of the 1990 coin listed in both Krause and Schön, but the ones on the eBay page look like normal issues as far as I can see - worth a whole buck according to the books. translateltd - 2016-06-03 11:09:00 |
| 7569 | In addition to essais (from 1959), there are large and small date varieties for the 1960 one franc. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6.html The large date seems most easily identified by the relative differences between the 9 and the 1, though it seems that the 0 is smaller on the large date from what I can tell. The large date variety does carry a higher value, especially in good nick. Interestingly, the one on ebay that purports to be an essai does not actually have the word on the coin, which is customary on essais. This one wouldn't since the essai for that one franc was from the previous year! It does, however, look to be a large date variety of 1960. Compare the French one labelled essai to the Monico one, the latter bearing the word essai. Certainly pays to look before you leap with these things. BTW, essai translates as "test". echoriath - 2016-06-03 16:24:00 |
| 7570 | There's a piedfort (double-thickness) essai of the 1960 franc - but again the one without the word on it looks to be a normal issue taken from circulation. "Trial" is another option for "essai", though the French mint seems to make them in rather larger numbers than the trials we might be used to. They seem more like VIP special issues in some cases, at least. Edited by translateltd at 4:42 pm, Fri 3 Jun translateltd - 2016-06-03 16:41:00 |
| 7571 | Thanks for the insight, Martin. I still have a lot of knowledge gaps on French coins. echoriath - 2016-06-03 17:33:00 |
| 7572 | Morning all ... I have a friend in Australia who is after sets of 3 sequential notes in the new pattern $5 and $10 denominations. Could someone please tell me where the easiest way to get hold of sets like this. If I went to the local banks would they have them in good enough condition or should I look on Trademe to get good UNC sets ... cheers Edited by pottynz at 11:30 am, Sat 4 Jun pottynz - 2016-06-04 11:30:00 |
| 7573 | I got three new $5 notes that ended like 565, 567 and 568. The weird thing is I think they came out as cash out at Countdown, so I assume the machine was loaded up with new bills. Whatever happened to 566 will remain a mystery for the ages. echoriath - 2016-06-04 12:07:00 |
| 7574 | Waitangi Crown replicas look like they will be here to stay just found them for sale online $3.30 USD and ones in FAKE PCGS Slabs like the one sold the other day for 84 USD. Sorry if anyone here owns the real one but be very suspicious of pcgs slab 534551.65/21179175. mudeki - 2016-06-04 21:51:00 |
| 7575 | link for these fake Waitangi Crs? I hope they are better than this fake piece of crap. I wouldn't want to pay this much even if it was the real thing!! 1096929312 dtpapa - 2016-06-04 22:20:00 |

| 7584 | How interesting that I just got a $400 buy-it-now offer on the same item. More in stock, or did the original buyer look more closely and pull out? Cheap at 1/80 the price, I'm sure. translateltd - 2016-06-08 13:24:00 |
| 7585 | Almost certainly the original buyer has backed out of the sale. Only a complete and utter moron would have bid that much, let alone actually hand over the reddies. Sometimes buyers might discover an auction only in the last few moments, so in this case we could perhaps give the buyer the benefit of the doubt that he is not a fool. Once he had time to reflect, and perhaps read the questions section, he realized it was fake. Bloody dishonest of the ratbag seller to still be trying to hock it off though, she surely must have known by now that the the coin is a fake, and is pretty much worthless. dtpapa - 2016-06-08 15:51:00 |

| 7595 | here's some amusing feedback for 'coinworld' as a buyer, "This idiot is upset because NZ Post lost his parcel. I was making enquiries as to where it was but he is being a complete moron about the whole thing. Grow up fool! " "This idiot deliberately used buy now with no intention of buying this coin because a parcel of his was lost in the post, even though I'm trying to sort it. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT MORON! Disgusting, childish behaviour. GROW UP! " LOL!!! dtpapa - 2016-06-12 22:07:00 |

| 7597 | And I've rarely seen such a pointed poison-pen positive for the same trader on something he sold: stupid me I thought it said epns which is basically jink and you should have told me as it is quite clear. I will never buy off you again but well done for getting one over on me :) The seller has not given feedback on that buyer. echoriath - 2016-06-13 00:20:00 |
| 7598 | I wonder how many of these lots Martin/John Teddy/Junma/qq or whatever it is he is calling himself now will be bidding on? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=195226 I really do not like to see anyone getting a bargain (besides me of course). Why are there so few watches on those auctions? this one has got 30 dipsh!ts watching, for crying out loud! 1100544716 btw, you can see the same coin as it appears in this listing 1093244170 definitely NOT unc!! dtpapa - 2016-06-13 08:52:00 |
