THE NEW COIN CLUB

8401

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.

do not panic folks I have returned! heheh.

And it seems all my posts have returned also, the folks at trademe obviously recognised how important they were!

Anyways, here are a couple of alleged 1937 proofs I got off ebay a few years back. They certainly look proof like to me, but who knows! According to the NGC the mintage for 1937 is 200, which is 10x the supposed 1933 mintage for proofs. Yet you don't see that many 1937 proofs around the place as you might expect, at least in my experience.

Hi. I have coins from the sterling days etc & if anyone is interested you can come & see in warkworth during a weekend. No time to mess around with photos etc.Cheers, Jim.

it's a pity not more NZ proof sets were issued for the general public over the years. I wonder why? South Africa for example had proof sets yearly from 1947, as well as a few in random prior years. NZ has only 1935, 1953,1965, then 1967 onwards?

ah there's one of those fake Waitangis on ebay!

but to be fair the seller has stated it's a copy!

although the same seller seems to have neglected to note this is also a copy!

Listing #: 1353147898

Just put the coin in the middle and fold in half. The adhesive will lock it together. No staples required.

ITEM #1353386787 1940 NZ 2/- Scarce $700.oo
Over half the jolly feathers are missing on the back/neck,and states,"almost all full details", so is half the feathers missing classed as almost all full details..
Well not in my book it isn't,plus the pix is a distant shot.like most of this traders pix's..Yet asking the limit ofr the coin,you would have to be blind to bid on it in the first place. My estimate on this would be less than VF at the most..yet makes out it's AU...Been wanting to mention this for yonks,each time I come across his auctions...Some folks,I don't know,,Yet I don't claim to be an expert,far from one......Cheers all.and you have a very nice day...

Well Jim food for thought for you,it would be a very good idea,you putting up on here,Country,say NZ,what denominations the coins are,and year,maybe approx cond,and a rough total of the number of items you have.All that would help someone make a decision whether the trip up there would be worth it,and of course what price you are wanting for them singley, or as a complete lot. I shall leave you with that to mull over Jim..Cheers...Mal.T.

There will be instructions a few pages back as that gets asked occasionally. Basically upload a photo to your "My photos" section under "My TradeMe", then copy-and-paste the URL here.

Here's a place to try and identify the coin if it has enough words or if you can tell the year, denomination and country:

This might be of interest too - see item 8 to see it in context of the "set" it was issued in. I even had a local museum ring me up about that same piece once.

you've got a few weeks so maybe if you sell some stuff, although the NZ section looked small there are quite a few NZ tokens.

gawd knows how the idiots at noble came up with this est!
http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=377763

I'm p!ssed with them because last time I bought a whole lot of Jamaican pennies which they reckoned were BU, there was no pic, but the estimate was quite high so I thought they should be good. Turned out they were red/brown at best, I did get them well below est but wouldn't have bothered if I knew what they really looked like. So if there is someone who is planning to be there and wouldn't mind sending back some intel on the lots that are not illustrated?

Are you attending the conference next week? A number of people in Auckland will also turn up in Sydney so would be a good chance to meet someone that can help you out now and in the future.

coinerrorsnz - 2017-07-03 21:25:00
8429

nope I've got far too much on to be swanning about at a conference!

actually it might be for the best if I return to my former policy of not bidding on any lots without pics. I must have forgotten that when I bid on those Jamaican coins! I did once, a few years ago now, get a very nice 1946 flatback florin in a lot without pics which might have clouded my judgement. There's always the hope of getting a nice surprise, but more often than not one is disappointed!

I've been burned like that too - bought a couple of unillustrated lots from a fixed-price list from one of the big houses in England many years ago (Spink or Seaby's, one of those), and the grading was optimistic to say the least. Happy not to take the risk now.

Greeting collectors and lurkers. I have a nice folder full of Oz pennies and ha'pennies, no 30 or 25 or 23 half sadly but the 47 is nice, the 1930 filler is an old copy and probably worth collecting by itself. Not sure on the 25 I was told it was real but I have doubts. All the relevant mints and dates are there, and there is a bunch of varieties and other coins of interest that I will leave in the folder (this is also new padded non-cheapo Lighthouse one). If anyone is interested let me know and I will put up an auction. As for price, not sure open to suggestions. Cheers gentlemen and ladies.

Agree with you 100%. I often wonder how this member sells anything. His pix and his write-ups are poor and his prices and grades are way too high. I could say more but I'll let it go at that. Cheers, taidhg

I regrettably made the mistake of looking at some coin listings! Saw a PCGS slabbed 1922 US Peace Dollar graded MS63. The seller was claiming it has a CV of US$160. The catalogues I have handy (red book and Krause concur with the PCGS site at US$48 ish give or take). Anyone know of the catalogue the seller might be referring to?

ETA It's enough to put you off taking any further interest in their coins.......
