THE NEW COIN CLUB
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 8101 | 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. gammoner - 2017-01-09 08:19:00 |

| 8103 | Hello I hope Trade Me doesn't mind me posting this, I received a phone call from a local Rotorua family about stolen War medals and coins [around New Years - burglars cut the power to house], so please keep a look out thanks. If you are offered these best to contact the Rotorua Police Station on Ph (07) 3480099 - please mention Bennett family. Below is reference to newspaper article. I have previously helped recover medals stolen in Whakatane 10years back, which were offered down Taranaki region, thankfully my email had been forwarded to an Antique Dealer who contacted Police and they were returned to a very relieved family. Hopefully the Trade Me community can assist in recovering these medals especially. I have contacted the Coin / Medal dealers throughout NZ already. Kind regards Lois Refer story in local Rotorua paper, possibly in the NZ Herald as well : http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/article.cf Medals are also pictured in the article. List of Medals are : - Military Cross WWI WWI Medals should be engraved with Samuel John Bennett MC COINS STOLEN APPROXIMATELY 25 AT MOST, AND DESCRIPTION VERY VAGUE BUT I THINK THAT IF THE PERSON IS GOING TO ONSELL THESE THEY MAY HAVE COINS WITH THEM Will advise if recovered, thanks Edited by loision at 3:49 pm, Mon 9 Jan loision - 2017-01-09 15:48:00 |
| 8104 | A rare opportunity!!??!! puckles - 2017-01-12 09:37:00 |
| 8105 | anyone here familiar with the French Hercules series of coins know if a "nipples" variety has been documented? dtpapa - 2017-01-12 15:03:00 |

Not seeing anything about nipples in the link provided - do tell more :-) translateltd - 2017-01-12 18:34:00 |
| 8107 | I didn't want to be too explicit, but if you study Hercules' chest (you'll need to look at zoomed in version using mouse) you can clearly see both his nipples, they point downwards, as seems to be usual for those who spend a lot of their time working out! While If you examine the maiden on his right, you will also notice their presences (they are larger in this instance). Of course I could be imagining all this, so would very much appreciate it if someone would confirm all I have said! coin could be vandalized I suppose? damage between R and A in Francs on other side.

| 8114 | Hello all , Is any one attending the Decimal 50 Conference in July. It sounds like it will be a great event. lester36 - 2017-01-20 22:22:00 |

Looks like it will be excellent - the organising team is putting a lot of preparation into it, with some great speakers etc. as well as the "coin fair" part. (I'm not involved in the process so I can say that safely :-) ) translateltd - 2017-01-21 06:44:00 |
| 8116 | Is the "Public Fair" open to everyone as the name implies ? funho1 - 2017-01-21 06:57:00 |
| 8117 | Ah yes, I see from the Conference info that it definitely is. funho1 - 2017-01-21 07:25:00 |
| 8118 | no feedback on my new discovered variety? dtpapa - 2017-01-21 14:59:00 |
| 8119 | here's a question for paypal users. I was purchasing some MS70 coin brightener from a Canadian website, as they offered surface mail, and I thought that might be a way to get it safely into NZ. As they offered paypal as a payment method I selected that. It took me to the paypal login and I entered my password, my email was already entered in for me, as often seems to be the case, but on clicking submit I realised it was an incorrect email. Yet it still seemed to work as it logged me in. To check things I backed up and corrected the email to match my paypal account, and again it logged in successfully. Anyone have possible explanation for what happened? Edited by dtpapa at 3:09 pm, Sat 21 Jan dtpapa - 2017-01-21 15:07:00 |

What year is that? I have some 19th century ones, but I'm not sure I have much in the way of the 20th century ones. echoriath - 2017-01-21 16:36:00 |
| 8121 | Assume it's the '65-'73 10 francs, or is it the later 50 francs? Curious if it's a variety per se or just a top-grade item before the highest points (excuse the reference) have started to wear. translateltd - 2017-01-21 17:25:00 |
| 8122 | Question -------- Whats a 2 cent blank worth. oldman3 - 2017-01-22 14:27:00 |
| 8123 | oldman3 wrote:
Umm if it does not have a value on it then is it worth nothing? hehe sorry could not help myself But if one was listed with weight and diameter (have seen some that were not NZ blanks but being sold as NZ) I would put a few bids on but I am not a big spender on blanks. I have seen some dealers sell blanks between $30 and $50 mudeki - 2017-01-22 15:04:00 |

Some great questions on the listing! translateltd - 2017-02-06 14:51:00 |
| 8135 | Yes, I enjoyed the comments, especially lester's, but I did not see anyone draw attention to the silly claims about the age. echoriath - 2017-02-06 15:36:00 |

I'll admit I didn't even do the arithmetic - it doesn't work out even using Hijri years. But since the rest of it was fantasy, the fantasy age was at least consistent. translateltd - 2017-02-06 22:36:00 |

| 8141 | I see someone has an excessively rare Truman cent listed (1258096641). They're very hard to distinguish from a regular Lincoln one, but I'm sure it can be done with patience. translateltd - 2017-02-09 17:01:00 |

| 8147 | I might just try for a few more rolls of 20-cent pieces, just out of curiosity. I've mostly been focused on dollar coins, of which I've managed only four mint rolls out of dozens. Edited by echoriath at 11:01 pm, Sat 11 Feb echoriath - 2017-02-11 22:59:00 |

Or one of those dead white dudes. Actually, the key to telling the difference is that Truman's left ear is pierced. Otherwise, it's a Lincoln. echoriath - 2017-02-11 23:00:00 |
