| 9501 | 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. To post a photo: click on My Trade Me, then on "View My Trade Me". Then scroll way down toward the bottom to "My Photos" and click on that. Click "upload photo" and follow the instructions on-screen from there. Once done, you can copy-and-paste the link to your picture into a message posted here. translateltd - 2019-08-11 11:09:00 |
| 9502 | In the August 2019 Australasian Coin and Banknote magazine (page 58) one Tony James has a picture of the reverse of an 1888 G.B. half crown.It is the same reverse as that used on the florin and double florin. alpha111 - 2019-08-11 16:20:00 |

| 9511 | The one Alan highlighted looks a lot better quality than Peter's copy - nothing jumped out at me to ring alarm bells when I first saw it, at least. translateltd - 2019-08-20 13:15:00 |
| 9512 | Hi! I know zilch about coin collections but while clearing out a closet (that has now gone into the fetal position after being exposed to light after so many years of being closed) I came across the presentation pack of N.Z. coins put out in July 1967 when N.Z. coins went from pounds to dollars. It is of any value? I am not worried about the old other used coins that go back to 1881 although most are from the 1930's-1950's as they are worn but the pack is as new and I was just curious if it was worth anything? Thanks. scottea - 2019-08-21 12:04:00 |

There may be more value in the older coins, especially if you have any silver coins dated 1946 or earlier. translateltd - 2019-08-21 13:36:00 |

| 9532 | Because it is listed in Reproduction Coins this allows a seller to then list under the heading that Joe Public first sees when they view that auction gammoner - 2019-08-30 18:51:00 |
| 9533 | The seller then goes on with the next informative piece of info that again has NOTHING to do with the piece of plated brass that is being sold Free Shipping With Buy Now. Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides). An excellent example of a bullion bar coin this will work well in any coin, Stg Sterling Silver or pure silver or gold bar investment collection as an example of this type ad design. gammoner - 2019-08-30 18:55:00 |

I counted 23 unanswered questions on the closed listing just now. Also interesting that it sold for $300, and there's a post-sale offer to me for $9.50. translateltd - 2019-08-30 19:50:00 |
| 9540 | Judging by the questions from multiple members this is CLEARLY a misleading description gammoner - 2019-08-30 19:51:00 |
| 9541 | The seller has offered you this item for $9.50 chefman1 - 2019-08-30 19:52:00 |
| 9542 | It did have a reserve of $15 gammoner - 2019-08-30 19:56:00 |

| 9544 | When he first started selling his items I actually brought one to see how bad it was. I then had a discussion with him and got a refund and kept the item. He got in touch with Trade Me and told me that they said he was okay. but looking at his feedback? And yes I found his stock on Alliexpress also. kiwialan - 2019-09-01 09:59:00 |
| 9545 | In a recent sale the purchaser asked for coins to be couriered separately. I guess that’s because of limited $ liability from courier company if the goods go missing. Does anyone know if there a limit on liability for NZ couriers for parcels or is it just NZ Post couriers that have limited cost of liability? graemer1 - 2019-09-03 13:11:00 |
| 9546 | graemer1 wrote:
It's a while since I've checked, but I think couriers have in their T&Cs that you're not supposed to send valuables, so any claim for lost collectables is likely to be rejected anyway. If that's still the case, I'm not sure they quite understand what the purpose of a courier service is. translateltd - 2019-09-03 17:04:00 |
| 9547 | When a seller posts an item on TM they make a suggestion as to the price similar items have been listed. Recently I listed a coin containing 0,196 troy ozs pure gold. They suggested pricing it at $11 to $35. No doubt it would have sold at $35 but, with the Spot Price of Gold at $NZ2436 Tr oz, I thanked them for their suggestion but declined it.

The deal with NZ Post was cancelled unilaterally by NZP a few years ago now, sadly. It was only ever for international shipments in any case - we were always on our own for domestic consignments. Edited by translateltd at 6:56 am, Wed 4 Sep translateltd - 2019-09-04 06:55:00 |
