| 10101 | Hi Martin, just an update to the Numismatic Society of Auckland 50th Anniversary Teutenberg 2009/3 gammoner - 2021-04-22 19:34:00 |
| 10102 | 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 - 2021-04-22 19:35:00 |

Thanks, Alan - I have the three metal versions so will check and report back. I'll certainly fix it in the 3rd edition if they have been transposed. translateltd - 2021-04-22 20:24:00 |

| 10110 | Can anyone please advise me regarding a series six N.Z Ten Dollar Note which I have. It is correct and legit in all respects except for the size. Yes, the size is slightly smaller in both length and width, by five or six millimetres. I repeat, the note is correct in all the security features, it is correct in all respects other than the size as mentioned. It sure is a curious and interesting banknote. It has not been shrunk with heat or anything like that, it is just , simply, smaller! I'll post jpegs if anyone is interested. Meanwhile though, any help would be much appreciated. flautist - 2021-04-27 21:59:00 |
| 10111 | I vaguely recall something similar being reported with the polymer notes going through hot washes - can you be entirely sure that hasn't happened? translateltd - 2021-04-28 05:59:00 |

Yep, polymer notes are well known for shrinking with heat. There's even a warning on the reserve bank page. A bit like the shrinky-dinks they used to do. chrisr5 - 2021-05-02 12:42:00 |

| 10115 | Hello, I have some old coins that I would like to get valued. Can anyone recommend a reputable coin valuer located in Christchurch?? Many thanks. bidderkmj - 2021-05-15 13:06:00 |
| 10116 | You could try the Shades Stamp Shop at 303 Bealey Avenue, Christchurch. Edited by alpha111 at 7:35 pm, Sat 15 May alpha111 - 2021-05-15 19:32:00 |

| 10118 | All very quiet at the moment ... readers might enjoy the possibility raised in this article of a single one-billion-pound NCLT coin being struck to settle a legal claim - echoes of Mark Twain's story about the million-pound note. And with inflation in the past century and a bit, probably not a vast difference in spending power :-) https://coinsweekly.com/will-expelled-atoll-inhabitants-rece translateltd - 2021-05-29 15:05:00 |
| 10119 | Came across some 1990 20c coins in a bag that had a cut out newspaper article regarding " coin confusion " over them and the $2 coin. The article says that some of the 1990 20c coins were released in 2003 to cover a shortage over Xmas. Some were found to be " tarnished " from storage and came out with a gold colour that had traders confusing them with the $2 coin. Anybody remember this ? pottynz - 2021-06-03 16:31:00 |

I remember a lot coming out with a goldy-brown hue but I wouldn't have thought it strong enough to confuse them with a $2. There may have been something in the Num. Soc. of Auckland "Mintmark" newsletter at the time, or the RNSNZ one - not sure at this distance but I can certainly recall the subject coming up. translateltd - 2021-06-03 17:06:00 |

| 10124 | hi all i have a yr2000 5c coin it has been stamped wrongly and around the number 5 are re-stamp marks how do i get someone who has knowledge on such things to view it and possibly let me know if it has value, thanks Edited by cre8tiv3 at 4:25 pm, Sun 20 Jun cre8tiv3 - 2021-06-20 16:20:00 |
| 10125 | There's a little bit of die doubling on the 5 - possibly caused by a fault on the die itself rather than double-stamping on the coin (all the detail would be doubled if the coin had been punched twice, not just the 5). As someone mentioned on the FB post, it looks slightly off-centre and may not have been sitting straight when struck, giving a bit of a tilt effect toward the top. translateltd - 2021-06-20 16:42:00 |

Depends if you're buying or selling :-) Catalogue guide prices are $250 and $135 respectively, which is probably what you would expect to pay a major dealer to purchase them. For selling on TM I'd imagine they'd go for a little less than that, but you never know. translateltd - 2021-06-24 15:44:00 |

| 10134 | Does anyone know if it's worth offering British pre-decimal coins for sale here, and what they would be worth? I have 14 Whitman folders that I was collecting with a boyfriend in England in the mid-60s - from farthings to half crowns (but I'm missing the pennies folders at the moment). So up to 1967 and they're not complete but still quite a few. Are there any rare coins I could look for? Thanks for any help. athena2 - 2021-07-14 15:37:00 |

Skimming through a British coin catalogue might be the best way to check for rare dates - or have a look at coins-of-the-uk.co.uk, for example. Off the top of my head, 1946 and 1949 brass threepences would be worth a premium, as would 1950 and 1951 pennies. Condition makes a difference, too, and if they've been sitting in cardboard albums for a long time there might be some toning or other reactions to look out for. translateltd - 2021-07-14 18:05:00 |

Great advice, thanks. Of course the 1946 and 1949 are the ones I don't have! Will check out the rest. Thanks for that. athena2 - 2021-07-14 18:08:00 |
| 10137 | Fake coin being passed off as silver bullion. The seller is trying to pass this coin off as a solid silver coin. The only reference to the coin I have ever been able to find is this which shows that it is a silver plated coin only worth a couple of dollars... Scammers usually place fake coins in plastic cases to make it harder for people to do the usual tests on them. I think it's important for the TradeMe community to look out for fakes like this. Experienced people may be able to see the warning signs but there are lots of other people that won't know any better and buy thinking they are investing in bullion. jesus2000 - 2021-07-15 17:43:00 |

Yes I reported it last week when it was previously listed at $70 reserve and something like $250 buy now. Nothing seemed to of come of it though.

Thanks. Although your question is hidden from view for me at least. I think it's important that we all keep an eye out for this sort of thing. Last thing we want is for TM to become riddled with fake coins posing as the real things. Like at the moment I wouldn't risk buying silver or gold Crowns on TM as there seems to be so many fakes/copies of them in circulation.

| 10142 | What a surprise. I’ve been blacklisted. Perhaps someone else could point them to this discussion with the Ali Express link showing it in the “professional slab”. enserf - 2021-07-16 00:32:00 |
| 10143 | Hi everyone. I have a 2000 Solomon mule still in the set but have noticed about a 5mm blemish above the Queen's head. Difficult to say if it is on the plastic or the coin. Just wondering if removing and attempting a very light clean would be a good idea or not? Is the value in the set intact or the coin separate? Thanks for your time. cas40 - 2021-07-17 08:35:00 |

I found that too. (I did do a little research before making an accusation on the auction.) But it is quite a different design. The amateur looking slab on the auction matched the one on Ali Express. Edited by enserf at 9:52 am, Sat 17 Jul enserf - 2021-07-17 09:52:00 |

Yes I'm familiar with that coin and it is a totally different coin. It even has the royal mint queen's head on the other side. The one from AliExpress isn't even a copy of a known genuine silver coin. It is a cheap silver plated cion. Now being sold on TM as a silver bullion coin. The specifications listed on AliExpress states 0.06ld, which equals 27.21 grams. So not even a troy oz (31.1g) or even a standard oz (28.34g) for that matter. Weighing the coin listed on TM would tell all. But of course it's inside the sealed plastic case, which would put most buyers off from breaking it open to weigh the coin. And that's exactly why these fake coins from scammers are placed in those plastic cases. It stops most buyers from doing the simple tests on them. jesus2000 - 2021-07-17 10:21:00 |

I'd recommend not touching it. Sometimes a speck of dust or moisture will get on a coin before it's sealed and it 'blooms' over a period of time afterwards. Trying to clean it off could just do more damage. translateltd - 2021-07-17 10:37:00 |

The PCCB slabs are available from Aliexpress, as it seems are a few others of this seller's coins. I saw a sale of three "Royal Mint" coins on his FB, including a Zambia 1000 Kwacha and the St George English piece, both of which are available on AE for peanuts. Rings some alarm bells. translateltd - 2021-07-17 10:48:00 |
