THE NEW COIN CLUB
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 8451 | 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 - 2017-07-22 22:43:00 |

sold for 520, obviously I must be missing something as I'd have thought just the 2004 LSK (x2) and the 2006 NIBK by themselves would add to more than that, even at 1/2 catalogue price! dtpapa - 2017-07-25 15:06:00 |

| 8456 | I just noticed this on my graded 1946 1/2CR, possible mint error?? it looks like a piece of black thread, perhaps a bristle?? It seems to be adhered to the coin as it has not moved, although it might just be I can't shake it hard enough to get it to move. Then again it might have fallen out of the nose of the grader, who knows? https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/622439094.jpg opinions please? thanks!

Hello Alan, how are you long no see, cheers Peter chefman1 - 2017-07-31 23:00:00 |
| 8469 | no it's no been dipped although I did apply some MS70 coin brightener with a cotton bud. Which seems to highlighted those scratches on the reverse at the back of the king's head, which I suspect are the result of some sort of rubbing to clean it at one time. dtpapa - 2017-08-01 04:00:00 |
| 8470 | I've just worked out a way to take better pics of your coins! Take them with the coin vertical rather than flat, and it should eliminate the problem of camera shadow. But make sure you have your coin balanced against something in case it rolls off the table! dtpapa - 2017-08-01 10:59:00 |

Several types - silver and bronze. Also versions engraved below the ship for a philatelic exhibition (gilded, silver and bronze), and a rare one with clouds in the field (above the ship, I think - will need to check that one). Which do you have? translateltd - 2017-08-04 10:00:00 |

Bronze $30-$50 normally Silver around $100 ish the philatelic ones tend to go for quite a bit more Apart from the 1935 Bledisloe - Waitangi Medal and this one did the Numismatic society produce any other medals around that time or was the next one not until 1967? coinerrorsnz - 2017-08-05 08:14:00 |

I won't be taking any numismatic advice from that clown gammoner then! it's the same coin of course, although you have to look carefully due to the photo being taken in a blazing light which seems to obscure many of the surface marks.

| 8494 | honesty does not seem to pay on trademe, which is a problem if you are honest. Half the coin listings on here would not pass the test of fair and accurate description, but nothing will be done about it because the normal consumer laws don't seem to apply. These sellers would not last in the ebay coin market because ebay buyers are more intelligent and sophisticated then your typical trademe-er, who too often is naive about coins and has more money then brains. I wouldn't like to be a fly on the wall when these schmucks take their coins in to a dealer to be valued and discover they have been totally ripped off by these trademe cowboys! dtpapa - 2017-08-09 05:51:00 |
| 8495 | " honesty does not seem to pay on trademe, which is a problem if you are honest." ... you won't have a problem then will you. pottynz - 2017-08-09 08:07:00 |
| 8496 | what's with all these cleaning accusations? Numismatic snobbery? Jealousy?? You wouldn't recognise cleaning if it bit you on the arse!! Btw most coins on trademe have been cleaned, to some degree or other. dtpapa - 2017-08-09 09:22:00 |

when? you must have me confused with someone else as I have admitted to neither. What I did say was that use of MS70 coin brightener is of benefit and justified in certain instances. You can check the coin forums for many coin experts who say as much. dtpapa - 2017-08-10 10:22:00 |
| 8499 | I reckon we need a new segment in coin club forum called the numismatic doofus of the week in which we vote on which recent buyer of a coin is the biggest moron. It to be judged on the amount paid over value, the condition of the coin, the amount of BS in the sellers description, and other factor such as why the buyer did not bid against the seller for the exact same coin a couple weeks ago when the seller purchased it for 1/4 of the price he just sold it for!
