| 1851 | Well done Chris on Howards 3 x 3d's but you are not supposed to tell him you get the chance to bid again as reserve could be jumped up at that stage lol. Nice talking today to you Martin, all the best Alan gammoner - 2013-05-03 20:51:00 |
| 1852 | alpha is onto it - bit more detail though, please, for everyone else's edification (including chrisr5, who seems to be a little off the mark here!) translateltd - 2013-05-03 21:12:00 |
| 1853 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for 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. echoriath - 2013-05-03 22:27:00 |
| 1854 | Jean was the model for the coronation crown in 1953 which depicted the Queen on horseback. Apologies for missing the "R" in horse! alpha111 - 2013-05-04 08:58:00 |

Yep, she was the Queen's stand-in for the hose-type equestrian portrait. Over to you for the next question! translateltd - 2013-05-04 09:31:00 |
| 1857 | Another horse question. Obtained three Hungarian coins from the above mentioned 'Howard" last month (cost less than his three 3ds) Who was the figure on the horse depicted on the1929 5 pengo pattern klippe restrike? alpha111 - 2013-05-04 10:54:00 |
| 1858 | Hi All I picked these 2 up today lester36 - 2013-05-04 17:40:00 |
| 1859 | Sounds like you need Mike & Julie Carter's catalogue of NZ Milk Tokens :-) AMMB = Auckland Metropolitan Milk Board. Having said that, on a quick glance I can't see a Zone K5, so you may have a new type there. translateltd - 2013-05-04 19:35:00 |
| 1860 | Thanks Martin So I guess I will list it and see how it goes. lester36 - 2013-05-04 19:45:00 |
| 1861 | No idea at all with these, unfortunately. translateltd - 2013-05-04 20:00:00 |

| 1865 | Hi People I would like an opinion on this little cutie lester36 - 2013-05-05 22:42:00 |
| 1866 | Could someone help me here please. I want to know how to find how much a 1890 English 'Rude Penny' is worth.Called 'rude penny' as you can plainly see Boadiceas' Boobs and nipples as opposed to usual 1890 penny where they are not in view.They were sought by US Operation Deep Freeze guys stationed at ChCh base as mum waitressed Regent Cafe in ChCh and heard about them in the 1960's, and kept one.Thanks.

Boadicea? Can you post some images pse so we can see this unusual item? translateltd - 2013-05-06 07:03:00 |
| 1868 | Does he mean Britannia? Although I have never heard of the vatiety. chrisr5 - 2013-05-06 08:22:00 |
| 1869 | Definitely :-) Neither Peck nor Spink list a reverse die variety for 1890 (I don't have Freeman, which may have more varieties listed). There is a range of pattern halfpennies from *1790* by Droz that show Britannia in various states of undress, including the full Monty. translateltd - 2013-05-06 11:15:00 |
| 1870 | Moving into the realms of theoretical numismatics (and possibly inventing a new term) with this next question - What creature would you expect to see on a coin commemorating/ celebrating 'Pingu' and what country(ies) might release such a coin. (Note countries that frequently release NCLT with no connection to the country whatsoever are not allowed as an answer) chrisr5 - 2013-05-06 17:38:00 |
| 1871 | China, HK, Japan & Korea might all issue 'Pingu'. Might. funho1 - 2013-05-06 18:22:00 |
| 1872 | Wild guess - UK and Switzerland, since Pingu was a joint GB-CH production. translateltd - 2013-05-06 19:04:00 |
| 1873 | Lets try related animals (animals again!). Poland, South Africa, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. OK it's way out. alpha111 - 2013-05-06 19:41:00 |

| 1875 | Well Lester got the animal, translateltd got the countries I was thinking of and funho and alpha both had reasonable countries. So I'll throw it open and the first of you 4 to ask the next question get as to ask it. Well done all BTW! chrisr5 - 2013-05-06 19:53:00 |
| 1876 | In what year did J.Colvin Randall and John Haseltine advertise to sell re-strikes of the Confederate cent and how much were they asking for each coin in the 4 different metals that were used. lester36 - 2013-05-06 20:43:00 |
| 1877 | 1874 was the year for the initial re-strike. I'm only finding them in three metals for these re-strikes for the following prices: The original was cupro-nickel, and re-strikes in the 20th century were made in platinum, gold, brass (copper), goldine (copper-coloured brass), lead, zinc and red fiber (whatever that is). echoriath - 2013-05-06 21:17:00 |

| 1880 | Not surprisingly, a Frenchman was the 17th chief engraver of the Paris mint. More impressive is the fact that his two sons both followed in his footsteps as engravers/medal makers. Name all three. echoriath - 2013-05-06 22:22:00 |

Night shifts :( For my question - name 6 towns, cities or fortresses that produced 'siege coinage' during the Wars of the 3 Kingdoms in Europe. Edited by chrisr5 at 5:43 pm, Tue 7 May chrisr5 - 2013-05-07 17:42:00 |

Depends on how slight the tear is. Also depends on the condition of the rest of the note - folds, crumples and holes. If it is otherwise pristine and the tear is just a nick and doesn't really detract it may qualify as an EF note with a CV of $65. If you have any photos to post you may get better opinions from others with more experience than me. chrisr5 - 2013-05-07 18:10:00 |

Anyone have an opinion on my Half Dime. lester36 - 2013-05-07 19:03:00 |
| 1887 | Does this mean places such as Aberystwyth, Oxford, Pontefract, Newark, York, Shrewsbury, Carlisle, Worcester, Truro.? alpha111 - 2013-05-07 19:11:00 |

I'd leave the toning as it is. It's very nice and even. I see no harm in the warm water wash. Just don't rub it dry. Let it dry on a clean, cotton cloth. As for condition, I'd probably grade it somewhere around EF40. I could see it going 5 points either way after a close-up inspection. Photos can be hard to grade, and, annoyingly, for some coins PCGS uses several different varieties under one heading. In this case Half Dimes are shown for all FOUR varieties of the Seated Liberty, which makes it tricky to see your one in EF-45, and so it's harder to judge against their photos. Still, at EF it's got a Red Book (2012) value of $45, surprisingly low IMHO given the relatively low mintage. Of course, there are many years in which Half Dime mintages were below one million. Maybe half dimes tended not to circulate terribly well? echoriath - 2013-05-07 19:32:00 |
| 1889 | Ah, I think what they did on PCGS was try to alternate the different varieties as much as possible between the dimes and half dimes. Still, some of their photos are remarkably washed out. echoriath - 2013-05-07 19:59:00 |

I was thinking of the more rough and ready coins that were specifically known by the name 'siege coinage'. You mentioned Pontefract, Carlisle and Newark, I think there were 3 others but could be wrong. chrisr5 - 2013-05-08 00:46:00 |
| 1891 | Does this mean Bristol, Chester, Exeter, Colchester, Scarborough, Weymouth? I got the measles in the first one! I think this question better be left to translateltd. alpha111 - 2013-05-08 15:49:00 |
| 1892 | Well done, 5/6 Alpha111! - Colchester, Scarborough, Pontefract, Carlisle and Newark. The other one was the rather obscure Lathom House in Lancashire which was besieged from 1643-44 and produced a gold 10 shilling piece. Very rare if not unique according to the Standard World Catalogue. Over to you for the next question and hope you get over the measles soon. chrisr5 - 2013-05-08 19:23:00 |
| 1893 | I was 3 years old when I had the measles. Would someone else like to ask a question so there is more variety? alpha111 - 2013-05-08 20:28:00 |

| 1899 | Hello coin gurus. I have collected a whole lot of pennies and half pennies for jewellery making and have far too many so have decided to part with most of them. I was wondering if there were any rare years i should be looking out for before i sell them as a lot? Would also hate to drill through a rare one if there is any. Thanks, any info appreciated rassberryberet - 2013-05-08 22:46:00 |
| 1900 | Indeed there are. It depends on the nationality of the coins. :-) chrisr5 - 2013-05-08 23:40:00 |
