| 851 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for 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 chefman1 - 2012-12-07 21:44:00 |

Those laws can be a bit funny. From memory, in the US, the general gist is that mutilating/altering money with the intent to deceive is illegal, but my understanding is that "expired" notes are actually incinerated. I'm not sure what the rules are here. echoriath - 2012-12-07 23:31:00 |

| 856 | Here's a question for ya - How the hell do you manage to delete negative feedback?.........just a joke. brucie69 - 2012-12-08 19:31:00 |

You get someone from TM to do it if the person who leaves it doesn't want to remove it. TM seem to be having a run of deleting negative feedback that is considered retaliatory. From what I've seen its not always entirely fair. TM deleted some red feedback placed on me, but I was quite happy leaving it there as it spoke more about the other trader. They were an alternative identity and both trader accounts have been suspended but they are back with a new identity! Edited by chrisr5 at 8:26 pm, Sat 8 Dec chrisr5 - 2012-12-08 20:25:00 |

| 859 | Well, the important thing about feedback you leave is that it has to be impartial and fact-based. It's very easy to let emotion get in the way when things have gone pear-shaped. I left a blue for a coin seller that I felt mucked me about. I ended up returning an item that was not as described and getting the refund took a bit of pressure from my end. He had left a positive for me rather late in the game. I ended up leaving a blue with a straight-forward explanation. In response, he edited his positive to a negative for me and was pretty unambiguous that it was in retaliation for the feedback I left. Mine for him is still there. The red he left me is gone. On the rare occasions I have left anything other than a yellow, I often type it up in Word and let it sit for 24 hours. Then i take another look and make sure it's right, and not angry. If it is a justifiably infuriating situation accurately described, that should be obvious to anyone that reads it. echoriath - 2012-12-08 22:30:00 |
| 860 | Alright, as we wind down the year, take a moment to brag. Lester showed off his half farthing yesterpage. I think I got this a couple years ago now: http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/245337125.jpg Note the secondary ring that takes out part of the hind leg. It actually manifests on both sides. I wish the condition was a bit better, but it's still an interesting little error. I'll have to have a poke around and see what I've gotten THIS year and post a decent photo. What have the rest of us found? Go on, strut your stuff. Edited by echoriath at 10:27 pm, Sun 9 Dec echoriath - 2012-12-09 22:26:00 |
| 861 | 50 cent find at Flea market lester36 - 2012-12-09 22:50:00 |
| 862 | 2 nice coins. Echoriath - is that a double struck coin then? Lester36 - You certainly can't complain for 50 cents and it's still got appeal, especially the obverse. chrisr5 - 2012-12-09 23:13:00 |
| 863 | Nice score, lester! No, chris, I think it's to do with a muck-up when upturning the rim, which happens before the image is stamped into the coin. naira offered up an explanation of it the last time I posted a photo, then asked if I would sell it. A lot of Buffs had issues, from die rotations as much as 180 degrees (yes, some are actually medal rotation), to weaker dies that might have a technically UNC coin lacking a remarkable amount of detail, e.g., little or no definition in the braid to speak of, not to mention die cracks aplenty. I've seen more die cracks in Buffs than anything else from the US in the 20th century. My FB image is a 1925-S that I make a minimum AU, but the definition is remarkably poor. There's also a die crack in it. You'll note in the Red Book that certain Buffs with higher definition are worth more than prices listed. The problems seemed especially apparent with certain Denver and San Fran issues. I think most of them from those mints from 20-26 or so are often quite poor I think part of the problem with Buffs was because of the metal, though you don't find the same number or type of issues in the Liberty Head series, nor in the Jeffersons.

| 864 | This came in $5 uncirculated set. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/245346865.jpg A 1967 no sea to the right 5c. Regarding buffs - you could probably dedicate a lot of time to just collecting them, there's a lot to them. Edited by chrisr5 at 12:18 am, Mon 10 Dec chrisr5 - 2012-12-10 00:15:00 |
| 865 | Nice! It's good to see quality photos of some of these NZ errors. Yes, I have found myself collecting a lot of Buffs almost by default. Non-silver US coins seem not that popular outside the US, which plays to the advantage of anyone that wants to have a go with them. Crud, did I say that out loud? The downside is that I probably need a bay account to sell them to ostensible US buyers. I'm a bit of a Buff buff who is frequently in the buff. I think I have said enough. echoriath - 2012-12-10 00:33:00 |
| 866 | Aside from the numerous die crack errors it about my only NZ error coin. There were some very nice broke back shillings the other day and I totally forgot to bid (doh!). I think you're very right about non silver us. Non silver in general seems out of fashion at the moment. I recently got a ?fine example of a large cent for about the price of the silver in the barber quarters halves and Morgan dollar. I was we'll chuffed. As for your 'poem' - very good just don't try for any buff carrying records in that state! Edited by chrisr5 at 8:01 am, Mon 10 Dec chrisr5 - 2012-12-10 08:00:00 |

| 875 | The 1918 Australian 6 pence is the one to have according to my dogalog it's worth US$50 in fine condition up to US$6000 in brilliant uncirculated. Alas sadly I don't have one......... I have a few BU 1962 Oz 6 pences but there not worth nearly as much........ :( chrisr5 - 2012-12-11 11:07:00 |
