where do you get your coins???

lacey · May 01, 2014, 08:56:05 PM

I sold some and gave some away. Did you want some AJ?

develop a relationship with your local banks. when they get them they collect them up and usually throw them in the bin. I now have several branches that hold them for me and I pick them up every once in a while. get about a kilo a week

robbiegal · May 01, 2014, 09:03:27 PM

yeah he is after some Lacey
I thought that I had more as I store them into (archival) bags together from my auction lots
though a kilo or so is a good starting point - might have some aussie stuff in there though, guess that pre-decimal is 'world'(**giggle** - according to PCGS it is!)
and Serial has 100 kilos of them as well, not sure if Serial is selling though

I am actually a bit of a serial hoarder. I thought about auctioning half kilo or kilo lots but I thought it wasn't really worth it on ebay
what do you get for a kilo?

are u in wa AJ?

Triggersmob · May 01, 2014, 09:17:56 PM

Serial, I think they go for about $15 to $20 per kilo.

serial · May 01, 2014, 09:35:49 PM

just for ordinary international coins?!?!
is that plus postage? because I can imagine that would be a killer!

Triggersmob · May 01, 2014, 10:18:40 PM

Yes, postage on top of that.

serial · May 01, 2014, 10:30:48 PM

When in Wagga this week I needed to do some banking. So I asked the usual question and was shown a bundle of about $500 face value of paper notes. Nearly all poor condition and no sought after signature combinations -I suspect they had been picked through before.

However I walked out with 5 x paper $5 consecutive serials, $13.43 of 1¢, $1.36 of 2¢ and a round 50¢. Total cost of $40.
They told me they never send back "trade ins". I will make a point of visiting there every time I visit Wagga.

I also picked up an AA 08 $10 note and 2014 5¢ (my first) in change from shopping.
And 10kg of new season cherries from Young on the way home this afternoon for $35!

Unicorn · December 05, 2014, 07:07:25 PM

What a great trip Jeff!!!!

Gee the cherries seem a great price!

robbiegal · December 05, 2014, 09:07:46 PM

gee Jeff - if you'd dropped by my place I still have about 3 kilos of cherries in the fridge
everyone has topped eating them
I even made up a few jars of jam with the this year

home? you must live somewhere out the way
my hubby was originally from Harden , his grannie still lives there - 93 and not out

JeffH · December 07, 2014, 08:08:38 AM

Well; this is most unusual. :huh:
I sorted the 2¢ coins last night and 55 of the 78 coins are 1968! That includes 2 "no SD" (and another two that the SD is so faint I can only make out the faintest trace under the microscope). Most are in rather good condition.
Also 3 clips. I will have to study those closely, maybe seek some advice in the forum, to be sure they aren't PMD.
