| 2651 | Good photos, thanks. The 1601 thaler from Mansfeld-Schraplau is listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins as KM#6 (Davenport 6972); there's also a double thaler which I assume would be a bit larger (no diameter details provided for either, unfortunately) - KM#7/Davenport 6971. I don't have the original Davenport book myself to check any further, unfortunately. translateltd - 2013-10-19 23:55:00 |
| 2652 | 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 echoriath - 2013-10-20 00:39:00 |

| 2654 | Haven't seen this one before. If the dot is raised it will be an example of a cud, caused by die chipping, so there should be others. It's a flaw/defect rather than a variety, but the dividing line gets a bit blurred when you look at the other "varieties" that have similar causes - the 1967 "dot" 50c, the 1955 "2 dots" 3d, etc., and even the recent "butterfly lips" and "goitre" $1s. translateltd - 2013-10-22 22:09:00 |
| 2655 | The mint was experimenting with doing mint marks in Morse Code. This would be an "N" mint mark. Please don't ask for a citation for that assertion, as it was pulled from a place where the sun does not shine. echoriath - 2013-10-22 22:55:00 |
| 2656 | Well I didn't win those R5 RSA coins, but I do reckon I know why they were so rare and expensive. chrisr5 - 2013-10-22 23:14:00 |

| 2668 | I have a 1888 american silver dollar. does anyone know what it is worth? I also have a 1883 one as well? luxy - 2013-10-26 19:03:00 |
| 2669 | First, are they both the same design? In any case, a LOT depends on the condition of the coins. Posting pix here would help give some idea of their condition, as ones that look as if they were made yesterday (no signs of wear, no scratches, etc.) will have quite a different value to ones that have been round the block over the decades. In a similar vein, where it was made will be quite important. Look on the back below the eagle. Just above the letters "D" and "O" in the word dollar there MAY be a small upper-case letter "S", "O" or "CC". If so, they were made in San Francisco, New Orleans or Carson City respectively. If there is no letter, they were made in Philadelphia. Assuming they are not replicas, each will have a base value of .77 ounces of silver. This will be determined by the spot price of silver, which I believe is in the mid US$20 range at present. echoriath - 2013-10-26 20:29:00 |
| 2670 | I have a 1888 silver american dollar and also a 1883 one. can anyone give me their approx value.. cheers luxy - 2013-10-26 21:03:00 |
| 2671 | Luxy - see message no. 2669 (the one between your two postings). You need to provide some more information before anyone can help. translateltd - 2013-10-26 21:11:00 |
| 2672 | both coins are the same design, there are no markings above the D and O. They are both in good order but have been used. They have been stored for about 70 yrs at least. Thats all I know about them. I have had them for 15 years but didnt know that I did until I discovered them recently with some other stuff luxy - 2013-10-26 21:40:00 |
| 2673 | In addition to condition, the number minted can often be some indication of value. Here's a similar coin that sold recently: It's similar in terms of mintage to yours. It does have an O mint mark, which is not very significant for this particular year. You can compare yours for condition, but I'd expect a similar sale price based on your descriptions, numbers lack of mint mark, etc. echoriath - 2013-10-26 22:46:00 |
| 2674 | 655065547 - I've never seen one of the Ed VIII fantasy coins turned into a medal before, complete with ribbon, too! Looks like one of the 1954 Geoffrey Hearn issues or a later restrike, which at least the seller acknowledges in the description. translateltd - 2013-10-27 14:30:00 |
| 2675 | So much value in the 1954 issue or the re-strike? echoriath - 2013-10-28 16:02:00 |

I was more tickled by the medal treatment than the price in this particular case. I've never heard of any being issued that way so presume it's an after-market adaptation. If not, happy to be proved wrong as always, though. translateltd - 2013-10-28 19:51:00 |

The market's fickle. Could depend on a number of factors - what category you had it listed under could also determine how many people would see it. I "gambled" with a 1967 blue-label set after watching a bidding war push one up to over $30 last week, and wound up selling mine for less than cost at $2. You never can tell. translateltd - 2013-11-01 08:30:00 |

Potentially either option. If people aren't there on the spot to get "auction fever" then they won't push the prices up by live bidding right at the last minute, but more people using a sniping program may lead to higher programmed bids ... translateltd - 2013-11-05 19:33:00 |
| 2687 | I'm sorry to advise collectors and friends that Tom Taylor-Young (previously Tom Upjohn) one of New Zealand's long standing Coin and Banknote (and Militaria ) dealers died last night suddenly of a heart attack at home in Christchurch. Tom and I had a business relationship for the past decade when he closed his own Christchurch shop and instead had me sell his stock via my shop, Shades Stamp Shop. regards to all Steven McLachlan. kiwisteven - 2013-11-06 11:57:00 |

| 2691 | Really shocking and unexpected news about Tom. He was a trim, fit-looking guy. Not at all the heavy sort of bloke I'd have picked as a heart attack risk. kewarrabeachfnq - 2013-11-06 20:56:00 |

He was a slim guy and in recent years had given up smoking and was playing lot of tennis. He was only 59 so it was unexpected but he had had a heart attack while in France 5 years ago and spent some time in hospital there. Thanks for the kind words. kiwisteven - 2013-11-07 10:11:00 |
