Fulvio · June 12, 2013, 10:25:08 AM

Scored these out of $100 of 10c
1. 2010 (Filled Die???) 2. 2003 (Chunk missing) 3. 1999 (Blob)

I couldn't find a way to take a photo of the N.Z coins, I know about using a mirror but I can't get a clear enough shot of the rotation... Can someone tell me if this is common in the 2003 10 cents??

Nevol · June 19, 2013, 04:14:56 PM

1. Yep, filled die.
2. PMD I think.
3. 1999 Fat cud. Not real easy to find, so well done. :yahoo:

Re the NZ coins, you'd need to find out where they were minted for the respective years. Some NZ coins were minted in Sth Africa, and a lot of them appear to be rotated as whoever did them over there was less than diligent about how they did it. I think I have a 1999 5c that's rotated, but a chap in NZ said it's normal for that denom in that year.

"Cool Cud".

Thanks Nevol, I will have a look at the 2003 NZ 10c and find some info on google.. I can only hope that the 2003 wasn't one of those common years lol. It always seems to happen to me when I'm noodling, this week I found that NZ rotated coin, last week it was a singapore 2011 10 cent instead of aussie and a 1972 NZ 5 cent(never the aussie ones haha)
And I wonder if that chap wanted the coin for himself or was being legit about it being common hmmmm lmao:yahoo:

Anyhow, will let you know what I find on the 2003 NZ 10c

Thanks, I did find a few of the long CUD 10c on the feathers, I will post those pics a little later tonight if I remember.. They are similar to the ones that Nevol sent out after the contest on 10 cent errors.

I used to frequent a NZ Forum as well as Trade Me (NZ version of Ebay) and back then, I remember there were a lot of the 1999 5c showing up on Trade Me as Rotated coins, but not many of them were selling. I just checked NZ TM, and there's no upset or rotated coins listed at present.

MattGold · June 19, 2013, 04:45:07 PM

Yep agreed, came across The Royal Numismatic Society Of New Zealand on google and it seemed pretty helpful but I found an image of the 2003 10 cent and it looks like it is the way the coin was meant to be. The N.Z site showed a few rare and scarce coins to look out for too so that will be handy as well, I will have to go and have a look again, I think one was a 1967 50 cent variety with a dot above the 1 in 1967.. Will have to search what's in the world coin bag lol..

Nevol · June 19, 2013, 05:08:03 PM

Check your inbox Matt, just sent a doc I found re NZ coin varieties and it has some info re what mints were used and when. Better than nothing I guess.

MattGold · June 19, 2013, 05:34:34 PM

Nothing arrived yet lol and thanks, when I see it in my inbox I will take a look. Anything is always better than nothing, thanks again

I've been considering that 3/10/55x one with the UV light, but three bucks is a huge investment..

I did have one of these last year but I broke it and only just found them on ebay again. I think it's a fantastic magnifier!!!
