| 9651 | 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 - 2019-12-25 08:50:00 |

The wonders of US grading again. I wonder what "VF detail" is meant to mean - the bits that aren't worn flat are VF, perhaps? translateltd - 2019-12-27 20:24:00 |

Thanks, Lindsay - haven't seen this one. If it's purely a sports medal then it's out of range, but if it's got a commemorative angle to it (25th/50th anniversary event, for example), then it would count. Is there anything on the other side, or is it blank for engraving? Cheers, Martin translateltd - 2020-01-04 22:15:00 |

Marginal - silver value only for the NZ silver coins unless they're in really good original condition, and the medals sell for about $8 on TM if still in good order (no scratches or stains, etc.) translateltd - 2020-01-13 14:59:00 |

| 9667 | cheers Lindsay, I kinda feel bad since you actually live in Tauranga and I don't think I've even been there (that I can remember)!!! It's like when the English stole the Elgin Marbles!! But if I decide to get rid of it one day I'll give you first option!!! dtpapa - 2020-01-13 20:37:00 |
| 9668 | hey if anyone has a bit of spare time could they have a look at these 2 coins and tell me if they reckon they're the same coin! .(might need HA login to enlarge the first one). Note in particular the scratch on the girl's lip, and the pinhole mark on the inside to curvature of the 2 in 25, and then this dtpapa - 2020-01-13 20:54:00 |

probably not dipped in anything, it's a proof coin so not uncommon for it to be a little bit colourful .Although I think the main selling point for that particular coin is that it's for 1962!!! Edited by dtpapa at 8:33 am, Thu 23 Jan dtpapa - 2020-01-23 08:32:00 |

| 9691 | dtpapa wrote:
I just had to buy mine from Chris Eimer direct :-) It's a beautifully produced book, but a warning: it's very hit-and-miss in terms of content. I guess the number of UK medals privately produced is so huge it's impossible to get anywhere near completion, and probably more than half of what I look for isn't listed. A comprehensive catalogue would have to be 2, 3 or more times the size. But I know the difficulty of stuff falling through the cracks with my involvement in the MacMaster series so I can't criticise too much :-) translateltd - 2020-01-30 06:55:00 |
| 9692 | yes except Eimer has jacked up the price! Although I guess Eimer must be running low on copies by now, and the edition is 2010 so about time for a new edition. Would hate to purchase one now and a new cheaper edition then comes out! Print run of 2000 seems very low to me, seems a bit suspicious surely there must be more collectors than that who would want one (unless they're all cheap like me and would rather spend the money on a nice medal!!!) dtpapa - 2020-01-30 20:59:00 |

The market for books doesn't seem as big as it should be - we need to push the "Buy The Book Before The Coin" message as hard as possible still! Bear in mind the print run for the NZ medal books is only in the 100-200 range (future rarities!), so 2000 for Eimer is pretty much in proportion. translateltd - 2020-01-31 05:34:00 |
| 9694 | true, although to be fair I think there is a larger would wide market (even in proportion) for British medals over NZ ones. I'd also think (although I don't have actual evidence) that there are a higher proportion of British collectors of British medals compared to NZ collectors of NZ medals. dtpapa - 2020-01-31 09:39:00 |
| 9695 | My Eimer is 1987 and my Dan Fearon is 1984. Getting dated but then so are the medals listed. I think moomoos once had an Eimer listed long ago but it probably sold. But on books ~ I ordered and paid for David Sear's 'A Beginner's Guide to Ancient Greek Coins' at the start of August (pre-publication). Just had the money refunded on the grounds it was no longer available??? His 5 book set of 'Roman Coins and their Values' is a valuable resource as are his others. Hope he is OK. alpha111 - 2020-01-31 10:10:00 |

Interesting - cornucopia symbol would be Paris Mint so an official restrike. I wasn't aware of these. I still need to do some research into a thin uniface version I have of this, which I assume must be an electrotype of some sort. translateltd - 2020-02-05 17:10:00 |
