| 9252 | 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 gammoner - 2019-02-22 17:19:00 |

| 9260 | wow look at these beautifully colour toned coins on ebay! Annoyed at having missed the opportunity to acquire such exquisite specimens? Don't worry the joker appears to have weekly auctions! dtpapa - 2019-02-28 16:31:00 |

| 9262 | davehaze appears to have flogged 2 mules in recent times. I believe the top one is the one which he grabbed for a 50 fpo! It doesn't look quite as good as it did in the trademe photo. dtpapa - 2019-02-28 16:51:00 |

| 9270 | Idle speculation here: if one were to press "buy now" and then renege on the deal, would the seller have to front up for $90k of selling fees in between times? translateltd - 2019-03-01 14:07:00 |

| 9273 | I'm beginning to suspect that pcgs don't actually care about artificial toning when it comes to the more modern coins. Too much money in it it for them not to give genuine grades to these coins, coins which otherwise not many would bother with the grading process as they are usually low value and of a high grade to begin with (esp proofs e.g. this one). https://www.pcgs.com/valueview/jamaica/1974-fm-5-dc/1365?sn= dtpapa - 2019-03-02 11:12:00 |

One of the guys on a US coin group I used to participate in once gave the recipe for different kinds of toning - chemicals in different proportions plus a frying pan can apparently achieve some quite spectacular results, if you're into that kind of thing. translateltd - 2019-03-02 14:32:00 |
| 9275 | there does seem to be a market for these artificially tones coins as I've seen some good prices paid for what would usually be a low value coin. I was once a little bit interested in colourful toning myself but not so much now as it seems a lot of artificial toning is getting genuine grades and people are getting increasingly good at it (and the grading services are getting similarly slack with their grading of such coins). dtpapa - 2019-03-02 18:28:00 |
| 9276 | Years ago I had a beautifully toned, high-grade NZ shilling that I thought would go well among the enthusiasts so I put it on the US site with a dollar start ... and it went for $1.50. You never can tell. translateltd - 2019-03-02 18:33:00 |
| 9277 | Hi Martin, would you have any info on a ( 1990/35) Commonwealth Games Auckland 1990 antique silver commemorative medal. Not sure if out of a VIP case set but has Electricity Supporters Club inscribed to the rim edge? gammoner - 2019-03-05 12:43:00 |

I suspect it will be one of the VIP set issues - I'm not aware of any others at this stage, anyway. Could you get a clear photo showing the edge and send to my usual email address pse? Edited by translateltd at 2:24 pm, Tue 5 Mar translateltd - 2019-03-05 14:23:00 |

| 9291 | Hi folks just a quick question, I picked up a1963 halfpenny with counterstamp of GV on the obverse and GY on the reverse. Has anyone else seen this and why was it done? Sorry I can’t work out how to send a pic, any directions on how to do this would be great as well. Thanks heaps, Nick gladdavis1 - 2019-03-11 13:21:00 |

If it was 100-150 years older it might have been commercial (Pear's Soap did similar things in the 1870s), but I'd expect yours to be a private mark applied for any number of reasons - putting the owner's initials (and a partner's?) on to see how far the coin would circulate? A latter-day "love token" (his initials on one side, hers on the other), perhaps? Unless there's anything else to go on, it will probably just have to remain a mystery. translateltd - 2019-03-11 13:37:00 |
| 9293 | Thanks for that, I have a couple of British trade dollars from the late 1800s with Chinese chop marks on them, quite like them, just this halfpenny has me stumped. The joys of collecting, thanks for your reply, cheers.

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised by inflationary grading coming out of the US - it's pretty much standard. It just means we have to think a grade or so down from usual when assessing a purchase - and insisting on decent pictures rather than relying on a description. translateltd - 2019-03-14 07:41:00 |
| 9296 | a weak example? surfaces look fairly smooth though, perhaps toning obscuring some of the marks that are present. MS61 at best IMO?? dtpapa - 2019-03-14 08:30:00 |

| 9298 | It's definitely NOT flawless. But perhaps if these companies graded correctly they would get limited business. Send them a VF coin and it comes back graded EF and you have a profitable business. alpha111 - 2019-03-14 17:50:00 |
