| 8801 | 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 - 2018-05-01 17:32:00 |

Dont get me started on those they do my head in. I have spent weeks looking into all the Endeavour design differences of the 50 cent coins. 3 Different types with a modified type 3 so potentially Type 4 on the 1994 bi-metal. I need to put that in print or on the website at some point. With the 1967 no tail it appears I did not finish my research last year so still looking into a few things to see if we have another way to confirm if it was one die or multiple. Will add it to my list to look at one day Edited by coinerrorsnz at 10:02 pm, Tue 1 May coinerrorsnz - 2018-05-01 22:02:00 |
| 8803 | Am I wrong, I have heard their is a 1967 error coin of a New Zealand five cent piece, it has "Bahamas" written instead of NZ. But isnt there also a 1967 error coin of a New Zealand two cent piece, that also has "Bahamas" on it? Or am I mistaken? brett21 - 2018-05-02 22:28:00 |

| 8806 | Maybe the mix-up comes from the fact the obverse was of a Bahamas 5c coin, while the reverse was our 2c. translateltd - 2018-05-03 06:10:00 |
| 8807 | Hi, not sure if this is allowed, but Ive taken a couple of pictures of what I think is the "1967 five cent tail missing under the chin" coin. I really cant tell, I was hoping someone could confirm or deny, Cheers. https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/782781183.jpg brett21 - 2018-05-03 13:23:00 |

Pics are unfortunately a bit small to tell, but it looks like it. Can you try cropping out most of the background so you're left with just the coin and a small square around it at most, and try uploading again? Or take pics from a bit closer up, as long as they're still in focus? translateltd - 2018-05-03 16:29:00 |
| 8809 | Try this: At this magnification there are three very faint dots where the triangle of tail should be, which suggests a possible intermediate stage as Lindsay mentioned above. translateltd - 2018-05-03 16:34:00 |
| 8810 | https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/782968291.jpg These are the five 1967 5 cent coins I found on the weekend 4 are no tail and 1 is no sea. lester36 - 2018-05-03 18:21:00 |

Thanks for the new pics. The triangle looks filled to me, so based on these photos I'd say no, unfortunately. Would be interested to see what others make of them. translateltd - 2018-05-04 06:06:00 |
| 8813 | What's the thinking about the Prince Louis $1 silver coin being pre-order only? First time we've had one of these....struck to order. Will it have a low mintage? NZ Coins is entering new country. Cheers, taidhg taidhg - 2018-05-04 20:50:00 |

Cheers, thanks for looking. Oh well, one day I will find a nice error coin among my loose change. brett21 - 2018-05-04 22:09:00 |

It literally took me years - I used to wonder how others managed to find them, then one day I had a stack of 5c pieces and my wife wanted to know what I was looking for. I picked one up and said we need to check this triangle of tail here ... and the triangle wasn't there! translateltd - 2018-05-05 07:12:00 |

I saw the pictures for one of the new 'collector issues' recently and had to wonder once again what has happened to the art of portraiture. No-one seems to be able to do an accurate effigy on a coin any longer. The worst was probably Chas & Di on the Ugandan 1981 commems, but recent issues aren't much better. translateltd - 2018-05-13 11:29:00 |

I pulled out a standard UNC coin to have a look but mine looks the same the 5 is slightly higher so not sure if he has another one to compare it with to see if it is a true die variety . coinerrorsnz - 2018-05-30 22:43:00 |

The numeral alignment looks different on the proof - I wonder if it's more a 'low 2' than a 'high 5', comparing against the unc one. translateltd - 2018-05-30 23:21:00 |

But if every example of the coin is like that, then it's not an error or variety - it's standard for that coin :-) translateltd - 2018-05-31 20:05:00 |

I've sold one each of the uncs and proofs and still have the images. Dates on both look out of alignment, so given the quite low mintages in each case I think it likely they're all the same - would there really have been more than one die pair for each of these at 15,000 and 5,000 respectively? Happy to be proved wrong if differing examples should turn up. translateltd - 2018-05-31 20:25:00 |

| 8834 | heh I don't reckon the 5 is raised more likely optical illusion caused by lettering following curvature of the coin! here is another example of the coin dtpapa - 2018-06-01 16:59:00 |
