| 9151 | 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 - 2018-12-05 18:54:00 |

Well, you'll pay an extra $5 a roll for shipping so the total cost is $15 but still, $27 a roll, seems a bit over the top. I doubt, though, if there are many selling at this price. Cheers, taidhg taidhg - 2018-12-06 09:26:00 |
| 9153 | So I got a couple of rolls of dollar coins recently that struck me as odd. They appeared to both be mint rolls, having nice, shiny 2015s on each end. And all of them in each roll WERE 2015s, except two or three. How odd is that? It seems quite unlikely that they'd be rerolled with that many new coins and just a couple that were not. Speaking of, anyone finding an interesting flaws on 2015s? All I've found is a wart under the chin and some striations across the main fields. I did find in the last couple of weeks a die crack similar to the 2013 up from below the effigy and onto the base of the neck. It's quite light. I think I've also found a wee little crack on the reverse from the base of the fern frond above the kiwi's head to the tip of the frond beside it, but it's very minor. Maybe a sign of something more significant in a future roll? echoriath - 2018-12-07 01:53:00 |

The lettering does look a bit more spindly on this one but it's beyond me. The dates are written out in words and the particular variety of Arabic script used doesn't include any of the dots above and below letters that are rather handy in helping actually read it. Even with that kind of disposable cash I wouldn't be spending it on an online auction from an unknown seller ... translateltd - 2018-12-12 22:19:00 |

| 9158 | I may be wrong (and I hope I am) but I think TM is planning an increase in its commission charges. taidhg - 2018-12-16 20:26:00 |

As an apothecary many years ago I can verify that. Apothecarys think in grains and minims and act without scruples. Cheers, taidhg taidhg - 2018-12-23 08:55:00 |

This could be authentic, I don't know. The reverse legend says "Rest in eternal life, my good comrade". 9 Nov 1923 was the date of the failed "Beer Hall Putsch". By the tenth anniversary the N...s would have been in power so it could be a genuine anniversary issue. Nothing I can see about it on Google, though, in either English or German, which is odd. translateltd - 2018-12-24 08:31:00 |

No, though the Krause "Unusual World Coins" catalogue says that similar ones were "possibly" made in Buenos Aires in 1959 as souvenirs for German veterans. My best call would be a vague "postwar, probably 1950s-70s". translateltd - 2018-12-24 10:22:00 |
| 9172 | HNY my fellow numismatics! if anyone out there knows of or spots a 1967 numismatic soc of Auck decimal coinage medal please let me know (Ag or Br). There was a pair very recently on TM but I missed them. They went really cheap too, so annoying! Cheers! dtpapa - 2019-01-01 08:01:00 |

| 9185 | I've emailed the seller, conveyed my great annoyance and asked for (demanded!) an explanation. As I write have not received a reply. I shall keep the group informed. Have not given up hope as yet. Hopefully seller upon realizing her error has apologetically requested the buyer to agree to cancelling the trade. Main points in favour of cancellation 1. it was obviously a low ball offer for such a quality example of the coin dtpapa - 2019-01-16 06:29:00 |

No. 2 just means someone got in quicker. There's no way of restricting a live offer to a single bidder. translateltd - 2019-01-16 07:14:00 |
| 9190 | translateltd wrote:
that's a fair point, and it indicates that the sellers brain was scrambled at the time. Having checked the fine print of the listing it seems evident why that might be. This further confirms that a cancellation is fully justified. I now expect to see the coin make a return to TM auction listings very shortly!

I'm not sure I follow your logic? Sure as the customer he is within his rights not to agree to a cancellation. Although most fair minded people would probably agree that it is the right thing to do. From my limited dealings with Dave he seems to be a thoroughly decent sort of bloke. If you were the buyer in these circumstances would you not agree to a cancellation request? dtpapa - 2019-01-16 09:04:00 |

| 9198 | Anyone trying to make a living from on-line sales would have to be ruthlessly efficient at the packing and handling end to make it worthwhile - or somehow succeed in putting a huge markup on the items being sold. Some items - books in particular - can take me 20 minutes or more to pack carefully for posting, which it would be impossible to recoup if I were doing this as a 100% commercial venture. For anyone in business, a couple of dollars is a minute or two of someone's time, so it's very likely they're making a loss on that component, hardly clipping the ticket. My 2d (or $2) worth, anyway.
