Pennys and Half Pennys for trade

Triggersmob · November 08, 2012, 11:05:00 PM

I have about 2kg of Aussie Pennys and Half Pennys taking up room in my safe. They span all three Monarchs, but mostly QE II. I have one of each year in my collection and that's all I need, so I would like to swap these for circulated world coins. Anyone interested? Postage would cost about $15 within Australia. These coins have not been checked by me for errors etc, as I am not interested in that side of collecting (Just ask Nancy, she gets all my errors).

Do you want to get rid of them all in one go? I could be interested, but not too sure I'd have enough spare world coins to do a straight swap. I'm sure I don't have anywhere near 2KG, but I'll see what I can rustle up.

One lot would be good, but I'll see what you come up with.

I have about a kilo of foregn stuff that I havent even looked at yet.
I can add this to Nevol's lot.
I can send these to you and you send the coppers to Nevol :good:

Nah I traded with another CCF member that wouldn't take a gift for nothing and insisted on sending me these.
Very nice gesture but I am flat out with my Aussie,US and Canadian sets and just donâ€™t have the time/inclination for world coins.
When I first got them I had a quick look and decided to put them in the "Too hard Basket" , They have been there for about a year now.
I would imagine Trigersmob would enjoy going through these and our mate Nevol would enjoy going through the coppers.
A WIN WIN solution :good:

Great offer by trout! How generous!

Nevol · November 09, 2012, 04:31:18 PM

I'll have to dig out all my spare foreign coins and see how much I have before we can assume that triggersmob will accept my offering plus trout's. Give me a little while and I'll try to get onto it. With my foreign stuff, there's bound to be quite a lot of duplicates.

It is indeed a very generous offer by trout! :angel:

trout · November 09, 2012, 04:58:55 PM

I have pm'd trigersmob so we will see where it goes from here "Nevol".
This is not an act of generosity but more of an act of friendship.
Also I believe I will get more enjoyment out of being able to facilitate this trade than ether of you get out of the coins.
This is just what mates do for each other :good:

Triggersmob · November 09, 2012, 07:52:41 PM

How could I not accept such a generous offer.
Consider the deal done Nancy and Trout.
Those world coins of yours will find a good home here.
I'll have the Aussie coins in the post to nancy on Monday.
PM replied to.

Thanks guys, I am staring to go through withdrawels, not having any coins to sort.

Thank you ArronG , a very freindly gesture and most apreciated.
Thank you.
I have been in touch with Triggersmob and both he and Nevol will get their coins.
For me this has been a realy good day :dance2:

Triggersmob, the world coins will be on the way today. I finally got them all sorted out, even went through some I hadn't even looked at yet and pulled out all the duplicates.

All up there's approx 1.3k, but probably only 1k of that is coins. Some are in holders, many are in little zip-lock bags, some are even fully ID'd with K# and such, so there's a bit of packaging. One bag is all loose coins, they're the duplicates I mentioned above.

One lot of old Chinese coins ('tin' I think) that were part of a lot I bought a few years ago, but they held no interest for me, so I have no idea what you might find amongst them. There's a list that came with them, so hopefully you will be able to make out what's what. They've all got square 'holes' in them. :winkextra:

Once I've gone through the pennies and ha'pennies, I'll post any 'finds' here. :whistle2: :angel:

Triggersmob · November 30, 2012, 09:07:21 AM

Many thanks Nancy.
I look forward to sorting through them.
I am still in touch with Dannyrox in China (from KOTCT),
so he should be able to help me with the China coins.
Do we have any experts on China coins here?

Can't wait to see what you found amonst the Pennies and ha'pennies.
