| 201 | Also I see there is not that much interest with Australian coins here so I've joined E-Bay AU, as there's also some bulk Aussie One Pennies and Half Pennies +UK. Has anyone else got E-Bay accounts for dealing with collectors? If so have you run across any problems? Or problems with sending coins overseas? jaytala - 2012-09-02 14:37:00 |
| 202 | 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 - 2012-09-02 14:59:00 |

| 209 | Ok. After an hour and a half up loading these photos (damn dial up). here are the notes. 3 of them are military payment certificates series 641 and the other two are , I suppose, vietnamese banknotes. They are very old and as you can see a bit to very tatty. rose-murray - 2012-09-03 16:01:00 |

| 211 | The Merrington token is catalogued between $35 and $90 depending on grade. The Florin starts at around $35 for this condition. Edited by wasgonna at 11:17 am, Tue 4 Sep wasgonna - 2012-09-04 11:16:00 |
| 212 | Hi. Should I be selling in lots of 20s or cutting them down to 10s? http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/4/228493404_full.jpg Sold for $10, is that about right? Yes I did end up buying a coin book so when it arrives I will start to list the coins in the right values, even though I don't really want to re-list for months to come. I might regret the bulk deals in the future but I'm thinking coin collectors would have got them by now if they really were worth something. jaytala - 2012-09-04 16:17:00 |

| 214 | Hey there, looking for some advice as to where could get coins valued. My dad has hundreds of coins, mainly mint sets but also bags of loose coins. I have no idea if worth much or could have a missing coin for someone's collection. Have 3pence right back to 1891 with queen Victoria on them. Pacific coins that look all squashed and messy but sold in sealed packs like that. Just wondering on any recommendations for a gd vauler. Thanks caza4 - 2012-09-04 19:20:00 |

| 216 | Welcome Back Chrisr5...... Yay finally found some silver coins so will be listing them tonight yay cashintheattic - 2012-09-04 19:30:00 |

| 218 | Welcome back chris How was the dark cupboard lester36 - 2012-09-04 21:15:00 |
| 219 | Thanks for the welcomes. My return is not without conditions. I have to stick to the message board rules in future. Extrapolating from my the warnings I was given this means - 1. No more starting threads that point out the physical impossibility of density to size when someone claims they are selling pure gold bars that are surprisingly light. I have to trust TM to remove them in the last few minutes before they close in spite of warning them much earlier. 2. No more pointing out that the given diameter and weight of coins in auction descriptions would indicate that a coin is fake. And then questioning the ethics of the trader when aforementioned coins' dimensions transform into the internet given values for such coins. chrisr5 - 2012-09-04 21:45:00 |

I found this that says the silver medals are sterling so guessing the one with the ship inlaid with gold is sterling silver as well. Looking at pictures and reading the description I'm guessing the gold bit is not a significant weight. I wonder if it has better details in the McMasters catalogue? Online, as I'm sure you've seen, doesn't seem to have any great descriptions. You could try asking Translateltd on one of his auctions. chrisr5 - 2012-09-05 20:27:00 |

| 226 | What are the NZ coins that are worth something? I know there's the 1935 threepence and the 2004(?) 5 cents. Anything else? hengest - 2012-09-08 10:53:00 |

Now there's a short answer or a long answer! Short answer - in excellent condition most are pretty valuable. Slightly longer answer - other notably valuable ones include (but are not limited to) - There are a few more that people will add - especially error coins - you need a catalog to get most of them - the Premier Catalog 2012 is available on TM and can be the best $15-20 you spend if you're interested/selling in NZ coins. It really depends on your threshhold for worth something - $5, $20, $100, $1000? The 2004 5 cent market is not so strong but is a great story. The 1935 3D is actually reasonably common in average grades but will still fetch a good price, however if you see it in Unc you'd probably get trampled in the rush to buy it! Hope this is helpful........ chrisr5 - 2012-09-08 11:12:00 |
| 228 | Yeah, I guess I'm talking like, more than $20. I'm selling bulk NZ coins at $1 reserve and just want to check I'm not giving something away. I didn't know New Zealand actually made Full Crowns, I've never seen one, only the Half Crowns. hengest - 2012-09-08 12:13:00 |
| 229 | The 1935 'Waitangi' crown is valued at about $15,000 in BU condition. You would be highly unlikely to find it randomly in any condition. NZ also did crowns in 1949 and 1953 but not worth anywhere near as much ( A shame because I have a few of them ;-) ). An NZ 'premier' catalogue and google is a great way of checking out your coins for anything of greater value. You can also post questions in here with a good photo if you're not sure. A good example of where general catalogues come in useful is for the GB brass 3ds with the thrift plant on. Only worth a few cents/dollars in average condition if you can get them in the 1946, 49 or 50 years in Extremely Fine (XF or EF) or even better in uncirculated they can be worth from US$80 odd all the way up to US$600 odd. BUT only if you find someone who is interestedin them......... chrisr5 - 2012-09-08 12:42:00 |
| 230 | I just noticed the other day that the KM#60 5 cents (1986 - 1998) have the horizon wrong. Does anyone know if this is a limited problem or was it an issue with all 5 cents from that period? http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/37/232112637_full.jp And here's a 1987 5 cent with a lopsided horizon - http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/29/232111829_full.jp chrisr5 - 2012-09-08 14:19:00 |

| 243 | Hi again.... But how can you tell if it's a strapless due to wear? I would say this was a strapless 1956 BUT I could be wrong.... I see some people list them from $30 to $60 then huge jump to $350? I'm thinking that's just personal judgement ?... http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/8/233618308_full.jpg jaytala - 2012-09-19 10:05:00 |
