No one has all the answers, and you may get five differing answers to the echoriath - 2013-09-06 21:14:00 |

| 2403 | I see that coins have started appearing at the Stamp Fairs held in the Philatelic Centre at 67 Mandeville st, Riccarton in Christchurch. the fairs which are held on the first and 3rd Saturday every month from 9am to 12 noon have free admission so why not check it out. it is good to have access to coins since all the collecting shops in Christchurch were closed because of the earthquakes. kiwisteven - 2013-09-07 03:08:00 |

| 2414 | Now here's an odd coincidence - three English pennies at 50x face value, seller and two bidders all in Whakatane, and seller and both bidders with the same name: 637649885, 637649666, 637650498. translateltd - 2013-09-12 19:28:00 |

| 2417 | Seemed so pointless for low-priced, junk-box items. Unless it was a deliberate test of TM's reflexes. translateltd - 2013-09-12 21:42:00 |
| 2418 | NZ Post used to have a list of the Pre Decimal and Decimal coins and years etc. Does anyone know where I can find something similar? Edited by sweetncheeky at 3:52 pm, Fri 13 Sep sweetncheeky - 2013-09-13 15:49:00 |

| 2420 | Interesting that the RB list includes non-circulation strikes in the predecimal series (see the extra 364 on the 1935 issues in particular) but not for decimal coins. translateltd - 2013-09-13 19:36:00 |

Yes thank you very much Chris. sweetncheeky - 2013-09-14 07:04:00 |
| 2422 | Can someone please explain why this particular 1947 florin ... Listing 629982364 ... fetched such a high price compared to others on TM? I'm interested 'cos I'm sorting through my husband's coin collection & he has some florins & I have no idea of values. Thanks. Edited by ruie at 3:53 pm, Sat 14 Sep ruie - 2013-09-14 15:49:00 |

It appears to be in good original condition (though the photos aren't as good as they could be). Genuine high-grade early cupro-nickel coins (1947-48) aren't all that easy to find. In worn condition they're very common still. translateltd - 2013-09-14 19:46:00 |

| 2428 | Hi Everyone. Does anyone know if this is a coin and if yes, where it's from. I have searched the internet and can't find anything. It is all of approx. 11mm bizarre67 - 2013-09-15 15:47:00 |

| 2431 | If it adds anything, the flat-topped 3 thing is the symbol for "drachm/dram", and the squiggle next to it is a long s followed by a short s - the abbreviation for "semis" or "half". translateltd - 2013-09-15 17:22:00 |

You are very welcome. As to your other question, you can find the old John Bertrand coin holders coming up for sale on TM. They have dedicated slots for each year of coin and some varieties. Failing that you can get generic holders here as well or try stamp/coin dealers in your area. chrisr5 - 2013-09-16 08:27:00 |
| 2434 | Well done to alpha for scoring the nice Julian the Apostate bronze yesterday - I thought my high auto-bid would secure it, but it wasn't to be! translateltd - 2013-09-17 10:34:00 |

| 2436 | Not quite related to coins but silver in general - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.asp Part way down someone mentions that there is no legislation in NZ regarding selling items with false hallmarks. So is all that silver plated tack that has 925 stamped on it is perfectly legal?! chrisr5 - 2013-09-21 16:27:00 |
| 2437 | Yeah, nah, false advertising is false advertising. echoriath - 2013-09-21 18:48:00 |
| 2438 | Some more help please :-) Does anyone know what show the souvenir is from? Also have some type of medallions that someone may be able to identify for me. Thanks. bizarre67 - 2013-09-23 15:42:00 |

First is probably an A&P medal or equivalent. Anything on the other side? Others are religious/church medalets. Larger white one (aluminium?) at top is from Altötting in Bavaria, bottom oval one is from Walldürm in Baden-Württemberg (Germany); smaller white one is an Italian St. Joseph medal ("St Joseph, pray for us / Blessed Virgin of Pompei"). Probably not all that exciting, money-wise. Edited by translateltd at 6:49 pm, Mon 23 Sep translateltd - 2013-09-23 18:48:00 |
| 2445 | The denomination-by-denomination grading guide from RL Clarke's 1960s "Coins of British Oceania" really needs to be republished, or at least more widely known and consulted :-) translateltd - 2013-09-23 18:57:00 |
