| 4051 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies and oldbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for oldbies and 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. chefman1 - 2014-06-12 21:59:00 |

| 4053 | I have found all these old coins and wonder if they have any value at all.

| 4054 | I'll just offer guidance on the French coin, since I have more knowledge about that than the others. Unless in really decent condition, it probably has a book value between a few dollars and maybe $15. Any chance of posting photos of that and some of the others? Condition is very important. echoriath - 2014-06-13 22:35:00 |
| 4055 | Intrigued by the Dutch silver coin about the size of our 5c - their 5c coins were tiny at the time so it doesn't quite sound right. Some pictures would be good if possible. translateltd - 2014-06-13 23:45:00 |

Most of them probably aren't worth heaps, as you suspect, unfortunately - you could try listing them either in ones or in groups on TM, otherwise check your yellow pages for local dealers and see how you go. translateltd - 2014-06-16 10:35:00 |

Nothing that stands out too much. If you were to $1 reserve it as a lot with a few more photos you could expect ~$150. A dealer would have to offer less. Edited by numismatist at 7:34 pm, Mon 16 Jun numismatist - 2014-06-16 19:33:00 |

| 4067 | I didn't realise missing "nothing" could be so important. Yes there's a "0" at the end of the number. Then again I just got offered a NZ 1974 copper-nickel Commonwealth Dollar for $50; a case of a "nought" too many. alpha111 - 2014-06-17 09:29:00 |

| 4071 | My estimate based on the photo was in the same range as numismatist suggested above - so $250 mightn't be too bad for the lot, depending on how much extra there is. translateltd - 2014-06-17 15:24:00 |

There's another article by Kerry Rodgers in NZNJ 59 (June 1980) on 10c cuds (complete with typo on the Contents page - should be Stye-eyed koruru, not style-eyed ...!) translateltd - 2014-06-18 15:49:00 |

Thanks for that :-) i have found about 14 coins with Style-eyed Koruru cuds now but still have over 7,000 10 cent coins to sort by year before I can really check them properly. I was just interested to see if there was any other errors as apart form those it seems just the 1988 cuds in date then the 2004 double rim are the ones i can find information on mudeki - 2014-06-18 16:23:00 |

| 4079 | I see TradeMe "pulled" half-a-dozen commemorative medal auctions this evening, I think all from acw-nz. Anyone know what was amiss? They were repeat listings and I don't recall seeing anything odd about them. translateltd - 2014-06-18 20:41:00 |

| 4085 | are all the 1967 5 cent pieces missing the sea and the piece of tail under the tuatara's chin or is it just some coins of that year. I was just wondering as I have 2 of that year skeletor69 - 2014-06-23 17:41:00 |

| 4088 | what would be the chances of finding some examples of rainbow toning in an unopened mint bag of 1964 pennies? dtpapa - 2014-06-24 18:52:00 |

Depends where the bag was stored and how humid the air was :-) Remember the golden toning reported on lots of 1990 20c pieces that were finally released into circulation after being left bagged for 10-12 years or so? translateltd - 2014-06-24 22:06:00 |
| 4090 | Ever had to pay a builder in cash for a discount? For some reason my builder was not impressed lmao https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/321694979.jpg The bags a Mint bags as well all 2010 $1 coins if anyone wants some UNC let me know as I will keep a bag or two.

| 4094 | way off lol each bag contains 1k when you get $1coins from a bank and the same for these bags from the mint. The mint bag's come with a lable stuck on them with weight, date, time, machine, operator andconsec bag number. I had never thought about it before but all the coins in a bag come from the one machine and dies all the coins in these bags showed a small scratch under the queens chin. Sadly for me that was annoying as I was hoping to find error coins so I got a little lazy searching and just kept a few metal flaw coins aside mudeki - 2014-06-26 07:55:00 |

| 4098 | Just to add to what i said before $1 coins come in bags of 1000 from the mint and i am told $2 are the same. They then get purchased from the reserve bank normally by the crate full (for $1 this is 100,000 coins) and then get rolled by these companies to distribute to the banks this saves banks recounting bags of coins 10,20 & 50 cent coins all come from the mint rolled in reserve bank of new zealand paper. The 50 cent coins then get put into a box of $500 at the Canadian mint sealed for easy handling. I still have yet to see how the 10 & 20 cent coins are packaged There is an auction on TM at the moment that says not a lot of our previous decimal coins were saved in rolls and this was probably because they were not provided to the banks in this way. However now that they are I would be surprised if more of our current coin rolls are not saved for future collectors Edited by mudeki at 10:10 am, Thu 26 Jun mudeki - 2014-06-26 09:56:00 |

Spike was the closest i purchased 15k from a security company (plus fees) as i wanted to do this to the builder as he is a mate that always gives me a hard time for collecting coins (the look on his face was priceless lol) The added bonus was when i ordered them i asked if they had mint coins and they did. Downsides were the fees and it was a one off deal from that company also the fact it took my mate 6 weeks longer to complete the job so i had them sitting at home (secured) but finally they are back in circulation and the builder has his money. But now i think every bank hates me haha Edited by mudeki at 10:11 am, Thu 26 Jun mudeki - 2014-06-26 10:05:00 |
| 4100 | The 10c and 20c come in similar boxes as the 50c. I have examples at home. mudeki wrote: nznotes - 2014-06-26 10:41:00 |
