THE NEW COIN CLUB
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 4151 | 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 - 2014-07-03 18:27:00 |

| 4154 | A lovely American token/souvenir/coin. Another one getting in on the act. Maybe there should be a special forgery listing. alpha111 - 2014-07-04 08:34:00 |
| 4155 | I have recently put a listing on trademe with a collector one dime coin with it I got told by a coin dealer that it was a highly Collectable coin but now seem to be uncertain it's a 1911 barber one dime coin are these highly sort after or not? cloe8 - 2014-07-04 16:01:00 |

| 4160 | Trademe refuse to remove these counterfeit coins , 750096656 747489749 etc. Guess it's time to import some and list at $1-50 to cover costs and compete with this trader gammoner - 2014-07-04 19:38:00 |
| 4161 | I was in Hong Kong last year at the Jade Market, and every fifth stall had a page or ten of such coins, in addition to some of the other designs. The funny thing is, many Trade Dollars WERE shipped to the Orient. While they were legal tender in the US, because of their increased silver content, at some point in the 1880s Congress changed the law so they could only circulate in Asia*. So while one can reasonably expect to find the genuine article floating around in Asia, as mentioned there is a a surfeit of fakes. I don't have much advice for picking the wheat from the chaff, except acquiring at least one from a reputable source and using that as a benchmark. PCGS's photograde is also very handy. My one Trade Dollar has chop marks and came from a very reliable bloke that used to frequent the Coin Club (adamhoops?). May not be my most valuable piece, but it's one of my favourites. 2012 Official Red Book, R. S. Yeoman echoriath - 2014-07-04 20:38:00 |

Is this a different one to the 1913-S you have listed? Either way, can I suggest you get a better photo of the 1913-S dime posted ASAP? In good nick, your guesstimate about value is in the paddock, at least from an insurance/replacement value point of view, but condition is vital, and it's very difficult to tell from the photo. FWIW, that coin would be your wheat, while much of that listing looks like chaff. Just a few quick tips on photos: It's also better to turn off the flash and shoot with natural sunlight. Cameras that cost more than $100 or so (and maybe some that are less) have a remarkable number of options for taking good pix, but the main point is that good pix of both sides of your coins generally = better returns. Good pix reveal the quality of coins, whether that quality be good or bad. The first couple of pages of this thread have more tips on taking good pix. If in doubt, have a look at some of the coin listings of regular contributors in here to see what you are trying to achieve. echoriath - 2014-07-04 20:48:00 |

I will be watching, and quite possibly bidding. echoriath - 2014-07-04 21:32:00 |
| 4165 | That sounds optimistic but still I'm unsure what it's worth and whether it's genuinely Collectable I'm a bit on the dumb end of the scale with these coins I just collected them as a boy and held onto them for sentimental reasons but decided others would enjoy them more rather than keep them cooped up. So many different sites give different figures and other trade sites have fluctuations in the price so I don't know whether my reserve is optimistic or not enough. Would be great to see $$$ signs don't get me wrong but at the same time just want what the coins worth. cloe8 - 2014-07-04 21:46:00 |
| 4166 | That 1913 dime is in pretty good nick. You're quite certain there's an S on the back below the wreath? I ask because it's hard to be certain from the photo. No S does change things considerable. echoriath - 2014-07-04 22:26:00 |
| 4167 | Can't quite see if there is an s or not my eye sight isn't very good will look in the morning in daylight cloe8 - 2014-07-04 22:55:00 |

tim there no [s] below the wreath, i had a good look at the coin and on ebay for the different. chefman1 - 2014-07-04 23:16:00 |
| 4169 | Yeah think chef man is right don't think there is an s on it had a read up about the s but no visible sign of a b d or s cloe8 - 2014-07-05 09:52:00 |
| 4170 | No worries, cloe. As I say, the better pix, the less ambiguity there is about what is listed. echoriath - 2014-07-07 18:57:00 |

| 4175 | Wonder why the 1949 florin listing also includes pics of a 34 and 49 halfcrown. D's increments are a bit large for him to be testing the "15%" threshold, surely. translateltd - 2014-07-09 07:47:00 |
| 4176 | So any groundbreaking news from RNSNZ meeting? Any stoushes we should know about? Any knock-down, drag-out arguments over whether the best coin at the show was MS64 or MS 65? Edited by echoriath at 12:13 pm, Thu 10 Jul echoriath - 2014-07-10 12:10:00 |
| 4177 | 748660390 I reckon $120 was actually a pretty fair offer. dtpapa - 2014-07-10 12:57:00 |
| 4178 | Hi, any idea what the greenish colour is on one of those tokens might be? is it toning? chefman1 - 2014-07-10 14:14:00 |

Obviously US shows are a bit different by the sound of that! The presentations were great, the guy operating the projector was outstanding, the walking tour around numismatic sites in Wellington was surprisingly good, and the fair on Sunday was well attended with no lulls that I could see. The whole thing went really well. (I was pretty much a bystander this time and not involved much in the pre-show organisation so I can get away with saying that, I hope. On reflection, maybe that's why it was better than most of the previous ones.) translateltd - 2014-07-10 14:44:00 |
| 4180 | or it could have been pink and green paint? dtpapa - 2014-07-10 14:44:00 |

I think there are several different things affecting different tokens here. Isolated greenish spots could be verdigris, especially if the surface is starting to corrode around them. The token in the bottom row with lots of whitish marks is probably showing residue of metal polish - Brasso does that, though not immediately, as I learned when still very young. Not sure about the broad greenish patches at all. First thought was plasticine residues but it would need closer inspection. translateltd - 2014-07-10 14:49:00 |
| 4182 | Oh, and the launch of the updated "MacMaster II" medal catalogue went well, too, with about a third of the print run selling during the weekend. translateltd - 2014-07-10 14:51:00 |

| 4184 | an ultrasonic cleaner often does a good job removing the whitish stuff you sometimes find on tokens dtpapa - 2014-07-10 17:43:00 |
