| 1952 | Do you know if the coin is still around or has it been melted? lester36 - 2013-05-15 22:41:00 |
| 1953 | Believe it is still around at the Perth Mint as have seen nothing to say otherwise gammoner - 2013-05-15 22:45:00 |

| 1955 | Didn't see it when I did a tour of the Perth Mint but it sure gets hot when they melt the gold. Afterwards went down Hay Street to the Rare Coin Company. Good reality check as my wallet cried let me out of here you'll be bankrupt at their prices!! alpha111 - 2013-05-16 16:14:00 |
| 1956 | Couple of the coin dealers in Adelaide were selling some pretty reasonable condition full sovs mid last year at retail $400 AU$ each out of their shops. gammoner - 2013-05-16 22:23:00 |
| 1957 | A prominent member of this coin club has stated that us ordinary guys should stick to silver...though some gold Byzantine coins listed a while ago nearly made me reconsider. alpha111 - 2013-05-17 14:23:00 |
| 1958 | And now Pope Francis has just come out blasting the "cult of money" tyrannizing the poor. Supposedly money must serve not rule. Will Bill English be Excommunicated after his Budget is read in the Vatican? Doesn't the Vatican make mega-bucks selling coins and stamps? alpha111 - 2013-05-17 14:32:00 |

Yes, I wouldn't worry about cleaning them. Does you camera have a Macro button? It's usually indicated by a flower symbol. That's for taking pix from 300 mm to 700 mm away. Digital Macro is for 50-150 mm away. These settings are not available on all cameras. Have a look at some other coin photos on here to see what you want to achieve. echoriath - 2013-05-17 22:36:00 |

| 1974 | Here's the most useful advice I can offer: http://www.imore.com/macro-photography Of course, it's really someone else's advice, but one thing I noticed is that even with an ipod, it's possible to get too close. Move back and use the zoom function. echoriath - 2013-05-18 01:06:00 |

| 1982 | Hi folks, is anyone aware of anything suitable for storing NZ uncirculated dollar coins? I'm talking about the ones in those square plastic cases used from 1967-1988 (I'd like to keep them in those cases). I can make something up for them, but was wondering if anyone knows of anything off the shelf. justinian1 - 2013-05-19 12:35:00 |

I'd quite like to know too! Virtually any "mint packaging" makes storage and/or display difficult, although the cases used for the dollar coins you describe were pretty much of an international standard at the time, so you'd imagine there'd be something designed for them, even if it was done 30-40 years ago. I can't recall seeing anything in ads in the old UK COIN Monthly mags, for instance, but I'll see if I can have another look just in "case". translateltd - 2013-05-19 14:36:00 |
| 1984 | Perhaps not the best chemically but I purchased a few spaghetti clear containers called K-tool super pack from the 123 Dollar shops about 4 years ago. These had the right cross section and were a foot long so could hold about 30 items, Another words a fatter version of the cardboard boxes for the 2x2s The trouble is I have never seen these again! as I'd like some more. alpha111 - 2013-05-19 14:56:00 |
| 1985 | What are the dimensions of the plastic cases in question? Are they virtually the same as cardboard flips, but thicker? Edited by echoriath at 3:01 pm, Sun 19 May echoriath - 2013-05-19 14:59:00 |
| 1986 | I bought back from last visit to Malaysia the large cardboard flips, to suit up to 40mm dia coins, easily take the crown size coins and also bought the album pages for these flips to sit into.Quite cheap to purchase from there. gammoner - 2013-05-19 15:18:00 |

They're 63mm x 63mm and are about 7mm thick. justinian1 - 2013-05-19 15:35:00 |
| 1988 | Tony Grant supplies good, firm plastic boxes (like the old slide containers) for 2x2s - I wonder if they're also available in 2.5-inch size, as that would do the job nicely. translateltd - 2013-05-19 15:52:00 |

| 1990 | Sorry, wrong end of the stick.Thought you just had the loose coins lol. gammoner - 2013-05-19 21:50:00 |
| 1991 | Looks like either alpha111 or I should have taken the "buy now" option earlier in the week instead of holding on till the last minute! translateltd - 2013-05-20 06:40:00 |
| 1992 | I agree ~ guess who originally advised me to do this? Usually this works but not always. That's the trouble on TM in that we often bid against each other. Now if there was a cartel ..... I don't like those 2x2 plastic containers. Leon Morel had piles of boxes made up from heavy cardboard for his medals and coins and these worked a treat ( I'm going back in time). alpha111 - 2013-05-20 08:42:00 |
