Are we talking in terms of assessing value or in terms of strict grading? I'm just making the differentiation that in terms of wear on the design, the scratches don't technically affect that. On the other hand, they do take away from the coin aesthetically, and therefore in terms of book value. But maybe that's really just an elaboration of what Martin alluded to with respect to a US POV. echoriath - 2013-08-11 12:51:00 |

| 2309 | Hi - I'd really appreciate some help, as I keep procrastinating about listing this collection of NZ coins I inherited. Here's some photo's for an idea: It's mainly pre-decimal, but you can see there are some decimal coins there too. Also a few 'tokens' thrown in as well. I have no inclination to list anything separately as I'm quite keen to get rid of some of this 'inherited clutter'. I am really unsure of a good reserve price for the collection as pictured. I'm only looking for a fair price, that's all - subjective I know, but any suggestions would be hopefully get me started. Thanks! sunken - 2013-08-13 11:04:00 |

| 2311 | I have no inclination to list anything separately as I'm quite keen to get rid of some of this 'inherited clutter'. Identify the unknown items or at least some good clear pics of those, then best of the 1933 to 1946 1/2 crowns and set a modest reserve to interest all the collectors out there. They will value your collection with actual money on the table in their bids. All the best,Alan gammoner - 2013-08-13 11:24:00 |

| 2323 | Yes, there's a Cazador piece that closed Sunday which has me wondering the same thing. But neither is an area of special focus for me, so maybe I am just missing something. echoriath - 2013-08-19 21:45:00 |

| 2325 | I have a 1991 NZ$1 that is ever so slightly thinner than a 2002. I have not yet put them on a scale, but I will try to do so soon. This seems like more than just wear and tear. I feel like I recall reading that the change of the effigy on the NZ$1 to the more.... mature image of the queen also accompanied a slight change in thickness of the coin. Thoughts? echoriath - 2013-08-20 22:57:00 |
| 2326 | The IRB effigy is a bulkier one than earlier versions, and draws up more metal as a consequence, but I haven't heard anything about a change in thickness. Time to get the callipers out! translateltd - 2013-08-21 09:52:00 |
| 2327 | Hey guys can anyone tell me what this is? http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/280552967.jpg Thanks cashintheattic - 2013-08-21 13:25:00 |
| 2328 | A George III half-guinea weight (2 pennyweight 16 grains, or 4.147g, is within a fraction of the official weight of a half-guinea) - you'd put this on one side of the balance and your half-guinea on the other side to see if it was of good weight. translateltd - 2013-08-21 13:44:00 |
| 2329 | thanks translateltd is it worth anything? Edited by cashintheattic at 1:57 pm, Wed 21 Aug cashintheattic - 2013-08-21 13:54:00 |
| 2330 | Bound to be worth something, just a question of what :-) Best to do some Googling and see if you can find comparable examples. Bear in mind that there are many different versions of these issued over a long period, and they'll have different values to those in the know. I'm tickled by that reversed "2", though, as the die-cutter must have been having a bad day. translateltd - 2013-08-21 14:08:00 |
| 2331 | Cheers thanks for that. Yeah I just tried to do some googling and couldnt find anything like it... cashintheattic - 2013-08-21 14:09:00 |
| 2332 | Try a more generic search for "coin weights" and "George III". Here is a listing of quite a few, though I don't see one matching yours: http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/Coin%20Weights.html translateltd - 2013-08-21 14:58:00 |
| 2333 | A couple of handy image programs useful for TM: iamriff - 2013-08-22 19:33:00 |
| 2334 | Good tips, Ian. Thanks! echoriath - 2013-08-22 19:55:00 |
| 2335 | I have been offered 20 Pound for my half guinea weight. But dont know whether to list it here or sell to the gentleman who I emailed about it... cashintheattic - 2013-08-24 09:11:00 |
| 2336 | You could try it here with a low start and a high reserve and see how the bidding goes. If there isn't much local interest, take the British offer :-) The market could be stronger there in any case. translateltd - 2013-08-24 15:27:00 |
| 2337 | immmm Baaaccckk ... Hopefully ill have a whole lot of new listings over the next few weeks. Hope all is well here in the coin realm???? cashintheattic - 2013-08-25 21:53:00 |

| 2342 | I would appreciate some help. I have some NZ One Dollar coins 1973-1982. These coins are each presented in a case as per pic. The front row of coins are each housed in a round, sealed, hard plastic case & I suspect these are all proof silver coins? The only coin that has any written description is the NZ 1982 Proof Silver Dollar Coin. In the back row of coins, two of the coins are in little snaplock plastic bags & the other three are in sealed plastic. I don't know if these are proof or uncirculated or what? http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/281160233.jpg ruie - 2013-08-26 11:56:00 |
| 2343 | Hi Ruie, from 1977-1982 are proof silver coins and from 1973-1976 are proof but copper nickel = no silver content, hope that helps you out,cheers peter chefman1 - 2013-08-26 12:28:00 |
