| 8051 | 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 - 2016-12-16 12:10:00 |

| 8061 | Ok, so in 2,000 20-cent coins, I had a reject rate of about 2% when returning them to the Westpac coin machine. Well, a bit less because early on I was returning them at the counter, where the weights were sometimes a bit funny. I presume this is due to their weight, though I've not put them on fine scales yet. It seems to be an even split in percentage terms between 2006, 2008 and 2014. Anyone else had this experience? I've been through well over 1000 one-dollar coins and hundreds of two-dollar coins, and I have yet to get a reject out of them. echoriath - 2016-12-16 23:23:00 |

| 8066 | Correction: in 10,000 20-cent coins, I had a reject rate of about 0.5% when returning them to the Westpac coin machine. echoriath - 2016-12-18 18:17:00 |

| 8068 | Haha, no, that was spread out over a couple of months: pretty much $40 at a time. Curiosity got the better of me, especially because when I first found out about it, I had a peak through a pile of coins on a local shop counter. There was one of each in the 2014s right there. So I thought, "Well, that was easy." With about a better than 10% success rate among the 2014s I looked through, it really was easy. I also learned through the process from mudeki about the change dispensers at Westpac, so win-win! I'm still struggling to get reserve bank rolls or mint-fresh one and two dollar coins. echoriath - 2016-12-20 06:30:00 |
| 8069 | So I laid hands on a 1997 $2 coin. I see the issue with the width of the channel. Still not seeing any reserve bank rolls. Ah, well, maybe in the new year. echoriath - 2016-12-23 19:19:00 |

| 8074 | I gather that how it is identified on the paperwork goes some way towards what sort of duties you might have to pay. A popular word is "badges" rather than coins to avoid imperial entanglements. It's a matter of getting the shipper to play the game. I should add that I have not had anything shipped from the US to here, but shipping things from here to the US and France has been an educational experience in terms of rules about what may and may not be shipped.

| 8075 | Registered mail is probably still the safest, though not necessarily the cheapest. As echoriath says, the declaration on the form makes a difference. People in Australia have sent me stuff described as "washers", which I thought a little cheeky. I'm not comfortable about actually lying but you can suggest "Numismatic items" as a description, which is accurate but obscure enough to slip under a few radars. Bureaucrats can choose to be awkward, regardless - for one reasonably expensive purchase some years ago someone from Customs rang me and said I "couldn't" (really?) import anything without a Customs number, so I just said, OK, can you give me one? It was issued pretty much immediately and I don't think I've ever been asked for it since. Whatever pushes their button. translateltd - 2016-12-27 06:28:00 |

| 8078 | Happy New Year, lads & lasses! May 2017 be considerably less interesting than 2016, and fail completely to live up (down?) to our worst expectations! ::cue the fireworks:: Edited by echoriath at 12:01 am, Sun 1 Jan echoriath - 2017-01-01 00:01:00 |

1870 (Meiji 3). Must be a forgery, as coins of that design didn't come out till 1874 (Meiji 7), as far as I can see. (There were silver 1-yen coins in 1870 but the "denomination in wreath" type was later.) translateltd - 2017-01-02 21:07:00 |

That's what it's meant to be (7M + 2C = 1 silver dollar), but its sandy finish, gunmetal-grey look and weak strike suggest it's from the same Chinese factory as the Japanese yen. translateltd - 2017-01-02 21:09:00 |
| 8086 | They are definitely lighter than what they should be. My scales aren't the best though so don't know the exact weight cashintheattic - 2017-01-03 12:37:00 |

I've used it once, though not for coins. From memory you wind up paying double postage (plus you don't get a quote for the US-NZ leg in advance so you have to pay what they charge). If you browse back through this thread I'm sure we've had some msgs from members who have lost items in transit with Youshop. translateltd - 2017-01-04 07:31:00 |
| 8089 | yes if you use youshop make sure it is sent there tracked and signed for. Last time I used it I think I had to pay ~17NZD, but I think there is an even cheaper option now available depending on how fast you want it to arrive. So given the within US postage will not be very much, using youshop should not be any more costly, in fact could even be less so. I tend to use youshop only when the seller does not want to ship outside the US of A. dtpapa - 2017-01-04 08:10:00 |

| 8091 | another thing, with youshop you also consolidate a number of parcels, which can lead to more savings. If you haven't already then you can read up about youshop features on their website. The one drawback I can think of is that you are more likely to end up paying import taxes/gst if you use youshop. Whereas with direct shipping from the US it seems that small packages are quite often overlooked for tax, even when they have a declared value way above the 400NZD threshold. dtpapa - 2017-01-04 10:02:00 |

| 8093 | Can anyone see an actual error on this banknote? 1235379971 Not sure how holding it up to the light and saying part of the image on one side overlaps the image on the other. With all my banknotes, the entire image on one side overlaps with those on the other. nznotes - 2017-01-05 12:19:00 |
