b_j_w_79 Valued Member Australia 414 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 03:31 am I have recently purchased some New Zealand predecimal coins in a bulk lot. Basically they were sets namely half penny, penny, threepence, sixpence, shilling, florin and half crown. I was wondering if anybody else collects these coins and what they are worth? Also if there are members who collect these I am chasing a 1956 penny and a 1953-65 half crown. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 06:41 am I collect NZ and have some 'sets', but not totally complete ones. I'm pretty sure I've got threepence, sixpence & shilling sets. I'm missing the 1935 threepence. I only have a few pennies, ha'pennies & florins, no half crowns at all. No varieties either. I have the latest NZ catalogue & prices for sets in average condition are: Ha'penny - $35 Penny - $35 (excludes varieties) Threepence - $230 (Includes 1935 but excludes varieties) (without 1935 - $50) Sixpence - $70 (excludes varieties) shilling - $95 (excludes varieties) Florin - $110 (excludes varieties) Half Crown - $125 (excludes varieties) Hope this helps you. If you want to get a Catalogue, I can PM you the Authors' email address. When I got mine in May 08, it cost NZ$16.00 which Incl postage to Australia. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 8:21 pm I also collect NZ coins and banknotes. I fall along the lines of what Nancy has. I also have a complete set of half-pennies, 3 pence ( I have 2 of the 1935), 6 pence, shillings & florins. I have a few half crowns, crowns and pennies. Your best bet is to get the catalog. I use The NZ coin and banknote catalogue by Howard Mitchell. Which you can find on ebay usually. Report this Post to the Staff
b_j_w_79 Valued Member Australia 414 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 6:02 pm Thanks. I have a price guide now. I am sure I got a bargin as the sets are in very good condition including some uncirculated coins. The threepence set included a nice 1935 threepence and the sets even include some variations. I'm very happy. I got them very cheaply (<$200 incluing postage for the lot). I will probably buy the missing coins on ebay if nobody has any here. Report this Post to the Staff
