| 9752 | 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. alpha111 - 2020-04-03 11:39:00 |

| 9760 | I've only really been buying for cataloguing purposes (medals/tokens) for a while now, so haven't been paying a lot of attention to the delights to be had from real coins. But speaking of tokens, this was at least something unusual that turned up a while back, the first I've seen in real life (reference Y2a in the latest John Bertrand) : translateltd - 2020-04-07 10:44:00 |

It isn't just you. The Krause listings are a mess in parts - they rearranged them a decade or so ago and now there's no real system to it for many countries. In my 7th ed (2012) it's on p. 346 and is KM 780.3 as you say. Mintage just 289,000 and priced at US$150 in F, $275 in VF. Looks like all the "first head" 2 francs are pretty scarce - add that to the things I've learned today! Edited by translateltd at 1:22 pm, Wed 15 Apr translateltd - 2020-04-15 13:20:00 |
| 9774 | The German Schön catalogue (2016) just gives a single generic entry for all dates and mints other than Paris for the first head coins: €700 in VF across the board. translateltd - 2020-04-15 13:28:00 |

When everything opens again I'd recommend checking your local library and see if they have a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins, published by either Krause Publications or (more recently) F+W Media. It comes in century-by-century volumes, each the size of a large phone book, so it isn't easily overlooked on the shelf :-) translateltd - 2020-04-22 14:37:00 |

| 9784 | Half Crown. I must say there’s been some real stunning coins come up for sale recently. Problem is with half the world in lock down you’re competing with more bidders. bd30 - 2020-04-23 19:57:00 |

| 9798 | UNC COINS ON CARDS... Such as the NZ 1992 Decimal Coin 25th Anniversary $5 UNC... Can the coins be successfully separated from their cards without damage? And if so, any particular technique(s)? In the case of this coin, I want to exhibit it next to the 1983 Coins 50th $1, with both in similar capsules. In some of the photos of this coin here at TM, the coin looks as if it has a pair of short parallel scratches and some light ding marks. Could those actually be on or in a plastic overlay instead of on the coin? It's hard to tell how the coin is attached to the card and I'm reluctant to probe mine in case I damage it. CAPSULES dbb - 2020-05-13 00:06:00 |
| 9799 | Re post 9798:-- This photo, while it lasts, shows the pair of scratches below the D of DOLLARS. In line with these, on the upper left rim, is an obvious hair, so don't be fooled by it. I've seen similar scratches in other carded coins. dbb - 2020-05-13 01:57:00 |

I'm not sure I get the "cards" reference here - I don't recall them being issued in this way, though after almost 30 years it may just be a memory thing. If it's a private concoction it would depend entirely on what they've been attached with. Anything touching or adhering to the surface of the coin is likely to damage it, and using solvents to remove adhesives is still going to leave a mark for the long term. As kids in the 70s we used to buy low-denomination foreign coins from Seven Seas Coins (think that was the name) that were stuck onto backing card/paper with a dab of adhesive. If you were lucky you could peel it back slowly and leave no visible traces, but sometimes you'd be stuck with a disfiguring blob on the back of the coin. translateltd - 2020-05-13 07:28:00 |
