Title: Coins for Trade
Post by: trout on December 26, 2012, 10:22:27 AM
I have recently gone through most of my collection and rehoused them into new albums.
As a result of this I have a large amount of spare coins that I have doubled up on or have simply forgotten about.

These are mainly pre decimal silver coins with a few decimal and nclt coins in the mix.

I also have quite a few US coins spare.
Dimes Merc and roosies
Nickels (Most dates)
Quarters silver/clad
Kennedy halves silver/clad
Some dollar coins Morgan, Peace and Eisenhower
I would rather trade these than sell them because it would be more fun and if I sold them I would use the cash to buy coins anyway.

Just testing the waters here on this, if there is interest I will make the effort and list the dates/condition of the coins (Huge job)

A lot will depend on what you would be wanting to trade them for, so I might be interested. :winkextra:

You have caught me with my pants down nevol:grin:
i haven't worked that out yet:blackeye:
I am mainly hoping to fill the gaps in my $1 and 50 cent collections.
I will type out a list of the $1 and 50 cent coins I have so far and go from there.:yahoo:

I would be interested in most of those (depending on dates).
You probably have a fair idea of what I have to swap; mostly 20¢ and 50¢ circulated (quite a few in high grade and some of the scarcer ones), some Fiji and New Zealand (pre and decimal) and some various Pacific Island. Possibly some duplicate silver, world coins (will have to check those).

I have almost completed my new Dansco Supremes as well so I will have lots of pre decimal to hopefully trade in the New Year. How Exciting.!!!

That list for the dollar coins burnt my eys for now.
Most of my predecimal silver is 3d's, 6d's some shillings and about 50 or 60 florins.
The 3d's I have gone through and picked out the rare dates but havent done a check for errors ( Bloody things are too small for my eyes)
The florins grade from VF down to "oh my God you poor Bugger".
Oh and I have 20 $2 poppy coins from a mint bag spare as well.

By the response so far it looks like we can all have some fun with this :yahoo:

Here are the 50 cent coins I have.
Lots of holes in these as well.

If you have any later Sixpences that are UNC-CH.UNC i would like to trade. I can help a bit in the 50c stakes.

How much are you looking to spend/trade on a 1915 threepence Australian coin?
Title: RE: Coins for Trade
Post by: Australian coin on December 26, 2012, 02:04:48 PM
Hi enworb, it’s the last 2 for grandpas set and he doesn’t mind what he gets cos I am doing it for him for free, to be a tightwad I don’t think I have spent more than $3 a coin so far for his set, just looking for a filler â€" I seen yours on the bay, very nice but out of budget :( in fact the nice one you had is better than my one. Unless I upgrade mine and swap my coin.

I have some 2c or was it the 1c hard dates, might have to pull them out and work out swaps with someone for the last 3ds, will have to check with the boss.

Hey PP I seen you have a proof 3d, do you do swaps?

Sorry swaps are too hard to explain to the taxman. You should see markn goes and hides out when it's time to do the bookkeeping each month.

QuoteSorry swaps are too hard to explain to the taxman.
Barter (swap) is completely tax free and needs no explanation to the taxman. If GST has been paid then it can't be claimed back on a swap; conversely no GST is payable on a swap.
Don't even mention it on your Business Activity Statement.

A barter club (where a points value is allocated to transactions) is a completely different kettle of fish!

I do a proportion of my work on barter basis. One of the few things the taxman has not sunk his talons into (yet).

When I finaly get my other 1966 proof set from the US I will have
a 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent,10 cent,20 cent and 50 cent spare.
I will pick out the best ones of the two sets and am willing to trade off the other set as individual coins.

I collect US and Canadian coins as well as Aussie coins.
I also collect NCLT Silver coins and may even dabble in the Kiwi stuff.
I am open to any sort of trade.
I just found a 1953 3d EF and a 1954 3d unc in my spares book.
