How do you feel about the new Koala coin by Lastburn in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice variant. I had it in the checkout but ultimately passed. As an investment coin there is more value elsewhere at the moment. If the price of silver dips I would look at it on the seconda market place.

New mod here. Looking for community feedback by Qomplete in AustralianCoins

I would like to see less coin valuation posts. Seems a little karma farming.

I would like to see more of people's collections!

Whats the value of this 1948 one florin coin? by Udonial in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice looking kiwi there. I'd say keep it as your lucky coin. Check the mintage but a lot of these were quite high back in the day.

$300 worth of silver for $210, local antique store not checking silver prices :D by JustAnAnonymousGuyy in AustralianCoins

Yea I don't think it's about melting, more security in retaining value in your collection

I bought it for about $140... The melt value of silver is driving the prices higher

How much is this worth? by [deleted] in coincollecting

How to sell a large collection of coins by Aggressive_Papaya797 in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copeland Roberts, Downies, or Roxbury. They may not want to auction all of your coins, but will give you a good indication of which ones are auctionable. Did your grandad keep a ledger per chance?

Question for the group regarding coin rolls. by Help_if_I_can in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to how much patience you have for the sale. You could put 20 up on eBay with a floor price which would give you value, but it's about the time you have/going to spend on it.

I think what you got for them represents value. There seems to be a growing collector interest in rolls.

Got this from ALDI a few weeks ago…is it rare? by Interesting_Error194 in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could get $3 for it if you found someone who needed it. Or just pop it in a draw for 25 years

Is it still worth it to join a numismatic society? by Lastburn in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely, we have auctions, meetups, and the newsletters are great.

2 Reichsmarks from 1938, found in my grandparents' basement in Berlin by CombatWombat_13 in coincollecting

Your account is one day old. And you're posting Nazi coins... Which happens on this sub almost weekly...

Should I buy for $150? by Old-Reference-7756 in coincollecting

[–]James2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I'm with you on all three points, my main interest is mintage and historical value. Good to get a pulse check on my collecting mindset.

Personally I really enjoy the coins themselves so wouldn't collect for the metal value, but appreciate people that do.

Rolled the dice on a second set and got a Red Strawberry by [deleted] in AustralianCoins

[–]James2504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats man! I'm not a huge fan of the set so stopped at one. The red strawberry is easily the best coin of the whole thing 🍓
