| 9051 | 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 - 2018-10-10 06:43:00 |
| 9052 | Hi all, So I have a 1917 gold sovereign I would like to get graded/valued (i think it has a Perth mint mark). Is there anyone in Auckland (ideally central) I could take it to? trade1gain2 - 2018-10-10 17:10:00 |
| 9053 | Try "Eccles Coins & Banknotes" at Level 1, Queens Arcade, 17 Customs Street East, Auckland. If they're still there. wasgonna - 2018-10-10 19:37:00 |

It was stored loosely next to other coins(gold) so that is probably behind the scratches. trade1gain2 - 2018-10-11 08:34:00 |

I have this also with the Armistice roll, received today. Which would bo ok but I actually wanted to see the coin lol. I have it also with an Anzac roll but can see both sides on another roll. Also curious to know why you get a mixture of heads or tails, I would have thought machine packed would be precise. sharee9 - 2018-10-12 13:14:00 |

I think it's luck of the draw. The machines can't pick which side is which so you can get obverse/reverse combinations and also obv/obv and rev/rev. translateltd - 2018-10-12 19:34:00 |

| 9066 | What coin face occurs at the end of the roll of the 2018 50c is purely a matter of luck and is of little concern. What does concern me, though, are the number of listings on TM that refer to this coin (NZ 2018 50c) as an ANZAC 50c! I wonder if it's through ignorance or an attempt to defraud buyers. I have questioned 1 or 2 of these listings, as have others, but the sellers don't seem to be bothered to answer. Cheers, taidhg taidhg - 2018-10-13 16:22:00 |

I'd go for ignorance - Armistice is far too hard a word and pretty much all anyone hears about with regard to WW1 relates to the ANZACs, so it's hardly surprising. translateltd - 2018-10-13 22:16:00 |

Hard to tell, the number of listings that pretend ignorance as an attempt to defraud always raise one's suspicion. Just take the vast majority of the 'I inherited it from my dearly departed grandpa who was an avid collector' style auctions attempting to sell recent fakes. chrisr5 - 2018-10-14 23:30:00 |

| 9076 | Alan Below is the email from Trade Me. When I rang and complained, they got back to me with the request was made by Reserve Bank to restrict sales of more than 5 coins till after Armistice Day. Frankie (Trust and Safety) twg1935 - 2018-10-15 09:50:00 |
| 9077 | Well, the RB/NZP did limit sales to two rolls per customer to try and ensure a fairer distribution than happened last time, when box after box disappeared into dealers' stocks, so I can understand their concern. Interesting that they've leaned on TM to enforce it, all the same. translateltd - 2018-10-15 11:33:00 |
| 9078 | Hello Martin .... just letting you know NZ POST is only limiting one roll per customer not two rolls i got a phone call from them to tell me its only one roll only i pay for two yes got refund from them. cheers Peter chefman1 - 2018-10-15 16:43:00 |

| 9080 | Aside from the novelty of getting them first and the possibility (however remote) of getting errors before they're noticed by the Reserve Bank, is there really any likelihood that ANZAC or Armistice coins are ever going to appreciate significantly? They're a bit like memorabilia from highly publicised coronations or royal weddings: overproduced and hoarded by every man and his dog on the presupposition that they must increase in value over time. That's not to say I have not set aside some rolls of ANZAC coins. I like to release a few into circulation every ANZAC Day, though I forgot to do so this year. I'll hold onto a few in the end. Same with the Armistice coins, but I can't imagine such commemorative coins with such relatively high mintages released ostensibly for circulation will ever be worth more than a smidgen above face. echoriath - 2018-10-15 20:15:00 |

While none of us are going to get rich off them, surely that's the ideal outcome with circulating commemoratives. Little or no margin will mean they're all the more likely to actually circulate as intended. translateltd - 2018-10-15 20:18:00 |
| 9082 | I like that they're doing them, but I hope they don't go nutso with it like the state quarter series. I gave up trying to worry about acquiring all the quarters (state commemorative, national parks, largest balls of thread, etc.), but I do always top up my Kennedy Halves when I return to the US, as they have severely curtailed production and no longer release them for circulation. Just the fact that they are a bit of a challenge to acquire points towards an eventual uptick in value. Similarly, in US coinage I find the Native American Dollar series to be one of the few other things worth tracking down. echoriath - 2018-10-15 20:24:00 |
| 9083 | Has anyone noticed that whilst Bahamas 'Mules' are regularly offered on TM but that no one ever seems to include the Bahamas 5c 1966 coin that the die was supposed to be used for. I would have thought that they make a nice pair. nznotes - 2018-10-16 12:32:00 |

My memory may be playing tricks (it's been known), but I'm sure I saw a listing for exactly that combination recently. Agreed it's nice to see them in context like that. translateltd - 2018-10-17 15:43:00 |

| 9089 | 50 rolls of 2018 50c!!!! How could this happen? I placed an order with NZ Post for 100 rolls of these coins way back in August the first day they were announced they were taking orders. My order was initially accepted then later reduced to 2 rolls. 50 rolls in someone's hands sounds a bit fishy to me. Cheers, taidhg taidhg - 2018-10-18 15:20:00 |

| 9091 | I originally posted this message as a separate item in "Collectors' forum" but did not receive any responses. A member has suggested my posting may attract more attention if it is placed as a "Coin Club" item so here goes: Can anyone assist in giving me an indication of the demand for the tokens shown in the attached pics and their likely value. https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/885551406.jpg Thanks trele - 2018-10-18 20:17:00 |

The Somerville item catalogues at NZ$15 in VG, which is about the range your item is in - it's quite worn and looks to have traces of corrosion, sadly, so it's unlikely to be in much demand, since it's one of the commoner tokens and presumably a little easier to get in higher grades. I can't speak for the Aussie items without spending a bit of time on the catalogues. If no-one comes up with anything in the meantime I can have a look after the weekend for you. translateltd - 2018-10-18 20:51:00 |

| 9095 | No problem with requests but you'll have to ask for a listing to purchase as TM won't allow contact with seller. They need the fees to make squillions. wasgonna - 2018-10-20 10:53:00 |
