| 9302 | 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 chefman1 - 2019-03-14 18:20:00 |

From what I've read, that's certainly an option - I understand it's a franchise you can obtain a "kit" for. Not sure if the kit comes with an instant supply of years of experience, but looking at the Tetrici I wonder just a little ... translateltd - 2019-03-14 22:03:00 |

Thanks, Alan - I've added this to the files. Is the Air NZ one the one with the blue enamel? I suspect both reported types are the same metal composition. Can you give me the gross weight for the silver 1990/35 too pse? translateltd - 2019-03-15 20:19:00 |

| 9311 | Hi is there another catalogue of prices of third partly grade coin and banknotes as from what I see our raw UNC coins and banknotes are way under priced. Or are they over priced and just taking money off people who don't know or trust themselves to grade coins and banknotes? 35 - 2019-03-24 10:34:00 |

I'm guessing the cost of slabbing and shipping to/from the slabbers has to be factored in, too, especially if we're talking about NZ issues. For US material, it really does seem to be a separate market segment. No idea if anyone's thought of separate pricing/cataloguing, though. Maybe some sort of footnote - "for grading company XYZ, double the catalogue price; for company ABC, reduce the stated grade by three steps", etc. ... translateltd - 2019-03-24 17:51:00 |
| 9313 | Seen a friends silver 1967 1 cent coin today,she was given it in the day as a 5 cent coin.Any ideas of rarity,value?cheers safaribro - 2019-03-24 18:54:00 |

If a genuine error it would probably fetch quite a good price but it would pay to test it first - a lot of coins were "coated" in school science experiments and can be deceptive. translateltd - 2019-03-24 19:33:00 |
| 9315 | Thanks for that,any easy way of testing it,would say the weight be different? safaribro - 2019-03-24 19:56:00 |

I'd start with weight, yes. Non-destructive analysis could be costly. Gently rubbing part of the edge with your thumbnail to see if any of the "silver" comes off would be my next check. translateltd - 2019-03-24 22:10:00 |

| 9322 | Hi All, I am new to this. I have inherited quite a few coins plus I my own small amount I have collected in the past. A majority of the collection consists of NZ, Australian & UK coins, with a few USA, Asian, Polish & Italian Coins. The oldest coin amongst them seems to be an Australian 1858 Peace and Plenty Penny., I plan to get my camera out tomorrow and hopefully list it. Once I have more of an idea of what it is worth and I have found some mixed valuations online. Some help would be much appreciated please. Also are people allowed to post wanted ads in this thread. I look forward to all of the responses.Cheers Denise Edited by drhunter at 11:52 pm, Sun 31 Mar drhunter - 2019-03-31 23:49:00 |

| 9325 | Missed that one. It's very worn which one would not expect with such raised rims if natural. But if padded pressure was applied to each side to spin the coin in order to polish up the edges then there would be that extra wear. alpha111 - 2019-04-02 19:41:00 |
| 9326 | Tapping the coin on a hard surface while slowly rotating it does the same thing. See from 1:30 to 2:00 here, for instance: translateltd - 2019-04-02 22:00:00 |

| 9329 | I have found a American Silver Dollar given to me as a child in a presentation box .It is dated 1892 I know nothing about this, can someone give me an idea of it,s worth please and where would I take it to get looked at and/ or/sell . brian_k7 - 2019-04-07 12:25:00 |

PT Barnum is attributed with a phrase that's relevant here. Apart from not being over 1000 years old as claimed - unless I've accidentally overslept for a century or three - aren't these pretty much the commonest mediaeval coins going? I used to buy them for $10 or so 30 years ago. And Genoa's hardly Crusader territory. Edited by translateltd at 5:45 am, Tue 9 Apr translateltd - 2019-04-09 05:45:00 |
| 9336 | hmm .. when I first saw this I thought it looked quite nice with lots of mint red, but the more I look the more suspicious I get. It could be the photography but detail seems clear/missing e.g feathers around head area? 2017392965 dtpapa - 2019-04-09 21:39:00 |

Dark marks around the rim suggest it's had a cleaning, along with what look like scuff marks across the field and raised design areas. The seller makes no quality claims, at least. WYSIWYG. translateltd - 2019-04-10 06:37:00 |

| 9340 | ah yes that is the way to do it -I was trying to discern the definite non presence of an actual SS which was not obvious due to quality of photo/condition of coin. The U in QUEEN seems to prove it though. dtpapa - 2019-04-11 09:03:00 |

| 9346 | the 2019 Bertrand N.Z. Coin & Banknote catalogue has just come onto the market. It still sells at $17.95 which is a real bargain as it has been this price for some years. If anybody in Christchurch wants a copy, check out the Stamp & postcard Fair at 67 Mandeville street in Riccarton on Saturday morning as copies will be available there. kiwisteven - 2019-04-20 01:10:00 |
