Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='76011' dateline='1437617045'If I was chasing one, I'd be very inclined to use Trade Me, as they are the best place for NZ coins. I bought heaps of mine from there. I had one particular seller who use to look after me and I could probably dig up his name if you're interested Steve.

Yes, I would be interested, thanks Nancy.

I would agree Nevol. Trademe only access a rather small market in NZ so stuff often goes rather cheap and not a lot of Aussies have been purchasing on there. Aussie stuff especially I sold a bunch of nice stuff recently for not much more than spot price as i have not tried ebay selling yet lol.

Here are some 20¢ that turned up in a $100 bag of noodling last week. Worth keeping an eye on your change if good ones are floating around.

Very nice Jeff. I would have to buy thousands of old coins to find a nice bunch of coins like that lol. I have boxes of old coins ( I pick them up for lower than face value on trademe lol) but struggle to find ones like that

Yes I find heaps of kiwi 5's & 20's and a few 50's and even found a 1967 50 with the dot, find them that often that unless they're really nice they go back into the pond so if anyone wants me to keep an eye out please let me know :ok:

wow just had a rough count and have about 120 of the big kiwi 20 cent and a few small

Same here -only keep the best ones now. I have a container with the years sorted into ziplock bags and have put a limit of ten coins of each year to keep. Every now and then I make up a set to sell on eBay and then replenish my bags as I stumble across good ones.

I have never found a 2005 but don't expect to. Finding one of them would be a bit like finding a circulating 1985 Australian 20¢ (I have found more wavy 2s than those).
From my New Zealand catalogue "4,000,000 struck, est 178,000 released". The only 2005 20¢ I have were purchased from the dealer that Nevol alluded to previously.

Yeah I have 2004 and 2006 but no 2005.

Is this the 20c you are talking about. I found this in the pond.

JeffH · July 24, 2015, 08:24:58 AM

So does that mean you now have two of these?

PP has a graded one, http://www.thepurplepenny.com/1556,new-zealand-1965-sixpence-pcgs-ms64-and-broken-wing-variety-pcgs-ms65-gem-uncirculated.html

NZCoinerrors · July 24, 2015, 05:13:38 PM

Ouch that is a graded one alright but not so sure where the price comes from over 3x the catalogue.

Also keep an eye out for the earlier version of the broken wing from my experience it is harder to find

both types can be seen here
