If the GST is applied by an overseas auction house (e.g. in Australia), they should deduct it for overseas customers. Not all do, though. I tried asking one on-line auction house in Australia a few years ago and they didn't seem able to understand what I was on about, so I never bothered dealing with them. translateltd - 2014-10-15 07:07:00 |
| 4702 | 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. translateltd - 2014-10-15 07:08:00 |
| 4703 | Although they 'make' up for it by sending your coins in a parcel with a low declared value!!! At least, in my experience. I wonder if it is legal?? dtpapa - 2014-10-15 07:11:00 |

I can do a nice but very definitely not inexpensive one ... still working out how best to market it as it's not something I'd want to consign via the postal/courier system. translateltd - 2014-10-15 08:05:00 |
| 4706 | This looks like it has a milled edge - that, plus the general style and the colouring, suggests a Chinese origin: 793332424 translateltd - 2014-10-15 16:51:00 |

With you on that Martin. Just about to the stage now that unless I know the seller or they offer a full refund if proven to be a fake or not as described then I don't bid. If Trademe continue to allow fakes, forgeries that are not stamped to the item as such, then it will be to their own demise of coin sales on this site. gammoner - 2014-10-15 17:30:00 |
| 4708 | Frankly, I'm at least as troubled by the text of the auction: "Ass shown, scanned at 400dpi, so can be expanded for easier inspection," echoriath - 2014-10-15 18:40:00 |

| 4711 | Interesting that the "1801 8 reales", "Melbourne florin" and "rare Hong Kong 10c" were all withdrawn by their sellers overnight. translateltd - 2014-10-16 10:24:00 |

| 4714 | Something strange .. one of the more egregious sellers of Chinese-made fake coins listed a couple of pairs of fake sunglasses. I reported those and they were pulled within minutes. I report all the dodgy coins and ... nothing. translateltd - 2014-10-18 12:02:00 |

| 4716 | Good price for the florin but the snake oil man missed out. Also advised David of the comment on the Stamp Club on one of his listings but no response. alpha111 - 2014-10-19 11:21:00 |

Do you mean this one? 792222919 gammoner - 2014-10-19 11:34:00 |
| 4718 | bugger me! I decided to clean my 1917 Standing Liberty (topless version!) using my ultrasonic cleaner. Now, as I have read that this might not be a good idea because the coin can vibrate against the surface of the container, so I placed the coin on a small piece of micro-fibre cloth placed inside the cleaner. Then I gave it a good ultrasound, using hot water, and grapefruit dishwash liquid. To my consternation I have now discovered, upon inspection with a microscope with led light, that the surface of my coin has a sand-papered look (lots and lots of surface hair-lines). I suspect that this has resulted because of the coin vibrating to and fro on the surface of the micro-fibre cloth. Does this seem plausible? I will have to give myself an uppercut!!

| 4719 | D'oh!!! I suppose it was in good nick as well? Too late now to advise using a munter to test on. I have read strongly contrasting opinions on ultrasonic cleaners, both from people I trust. Personally, I'd shy away from them on principle. echoriath - 2014-10-20 15:21:00 |
| 4720 | Hi Coin Fans,Good to see this up and away.I have a 1965 NZ 2/6 Half Crown UNC,but if appears to have 2 distinctive dots on jaw line.So perhaps an expert in coins could get back to me with what they think about that, as I have not seen any others like that at all on here..So perhaps it is a,PRESSING ERROR/ODDITY. ..??..Many Thanks..Mal.T. wildhawke - 2014-10-20 16:27:00 |

| 4730 | Poor guy @ 796084402 , I was going to ask if he had original proof of purchase, (It should have been closer to US$100 than $2300 I would have thought) but would overseas buyers still be able to get refunded? Edited by martinhb at 5:04 pm, Tue 21 Oct martinhb - 2014-10-21 16:55:00 |

It's one of the best quality knock-offs I've seen - you have to look close at the detail, unlike many others which are pretty obvious copies. translateltd - 2014-10-22 10:19:00 |
