Nice one Steve, I see you have a 20 cents! Hold on to it, its a scarce coin. I think your dollar may have the butterfly lips flaw! Now Aussie for 2005.  Agree about noodling, the 2005 WW2 Anniversary coins covered the 20c, 50c and $1. Steve showed the Top 2, here I also show a 20c and a slightly less nice dollar. 2005 was also a year where the standard Playtpus 20c and MOR $1 were issued and here you are!  Here I have also added a standard $2, 10c and 5c and again no 50c. Reverses of all the 2005 coins - save image processing - these images are abit better and I used a higher setting (9MP).  |

The 20 cents had 4 million struck, but only 500k issued and the 50 cents 2 million struck, only 178k released - the rest of all the coins were melted down Seems like I'm lucky to have an AU 20 cent then. :) Princetane, I was wondering where your post was. Seems we posted at the same time. :) Steve :) Edited by triggersmob

I was delayed, sorting through a mammoth collection today, decorating trees and my gardens with lights and giving my cat ear medicine for her Hyperthyroidism, been a busy day today dude. Just counted up $45 worth of Australian change for my collections.
Sometimes, we end up posting at the same time.

Steve is right, for New Zealand coins in 2005, the 50 cent coin was more common with 500k issued and just 178k for the 20 cents. Compared to other 2000's date 20c and 50c pieces, neither are particularly common though. I got them mixed up - human error. I think I should state, that part of this trhead is a learning experience for me, especially with my Australian coins, as I only really got serious about them a few months ago. NZ I know quite a bit, but I will still get things wrong and in no way are any of my collections complete. I focus mostly on what circulated, although I have the occasional BU set or Proof piece as well. You see more pizazz as we head back. Just a warning though, for New Zealand, the 1990s are VERY SPARSE as far as issuing coins for circulation go.1c and 2c - none after 1987 5c - Issued the most, every year 1994 - 1999 10c - only issued in 1996 and 1997 20c - Only in 1990 50c - not at all nothing between 1988 and 2001 $1 - Only in 1990 and 1991, the initial years $2 - As above but also some issuing in 1997, 98 and 1999. Hence more emphasis on my Aussie and Proof/BU stuff. The 80s sees heavy issuing reappear for change coins in NZ. Overall, this thread is a huge hit with its 8th page and nearly 2,000 views and a huge THANK YOU to both Triggersmob and NumisRob for showing their pieces.  I would like to say we could have a few more people pitching in too, as now we blaze through this modern era  Edited by Princetane

Guys, I am going to be a bit later showing my 2004 material as I am still sorting the coins, lots of squinting and bad light, taking longer than expected.
Go ahead and post your 2004 stuff when ready, I will be later tomorrow (NZ time - not American board time)

Nice coins, Steven I see you have a rare 2004 5 cents, even I don't have that. Apparently a few were released lately from a German tourist set in 2004.
My coins in a few hours.

I see from my notes that most of them were melted. I have it listed at a value of $2. Do you think that is correct or are they selling for more than that? Steve :) |

Numista has them at $1.78 (€1 - as they translate from Euros being a French site) and a group was founded recently, but I am not sure if they have become common, but they are more common now. In 2010 - you would have paid $100 for them at least.
My guess is you may be right and I am behind the 8 ball. Doing my shots now!

Finally finished scanning and processing. I am using a higher setting to get slightly sharper images and so far its working. Today was forecasted to be fine, but has been dull and thus why the pictures are a bit matte.  Tails  Heads My Kiwi for 2004 had all coins minted except the $2. I don't have a 5 cents to show you (Still rare with an estimated 48k existing). Some 15 million were minted (Which was low by 5 cent minting standards in the post 1990 era) and nearly all were melted down as by 2003 most people were rounding prices at .99 cents which became a whole dollar. Some 24,000 were used for a collectors coin set aimed at German and Japanese tourists, but only 4,000 of these were made leaving the 20k spare coins free which were bought up by coin clubs as giveaways to new members. In reality specualtors bought them up and sold them at a mark up. The others went into NZ Post managed UNC and Small Change sets of 2004 and 2006! We are lucky Steve showed one. I will get one eventually. The other missing coin is the 50 cents, its not rare but 90% of the collections and hoards now are full of 1967 to 1980s dated 20c and 50c. 20c were minted in 2002 and 2004 after none since 1990 and the 50 cents was minted each year from 2001 to 2005 and that was none between 1988 and 2001. These coins are not rare except the 2005, I just haven't got one. They minted such jumbo quantities of coins in the 1967 - 1988 period that there was little demand in the 1990s as the coins became valueless and the early 2000s mintages were merely garnishes and top ups. The dollar coin shows a lot of wear like most early 2000s $1 and $2. You can tell it spent much more time in circulation than its lower value cousins! |

For my 1c to 50c coins of the 1967 - 2005 years I have bought these push in albums for my coins.  Like our Bertrands (Our Dansco albums for Predecimal coins), they are cardboard push ins, but have numerous disadvantages.   One is their flimsy contruction, made in China and not very durable, I complained to the seller - but he mentioned it was years ago (2010ish) and what could I do, they were not thate xpensive. The second is they only have holes for the years of circulation coins, so if you have set coins or proofs - forget it, they have some variety holes on them ranging from 1 each for 1c and 2c to 6 for 50c. The third is there are no notes and no extra info like mintages, merely dates. Fourth, is that only the obselete coins are included, there are no albums for the $1 and $2 coins (Or large $5 and $1 for that matter) or the steel 10c - 50c. But fair enough whats the point of doing albums for a coin series of uncertain length unless you print a blank page and boom, they end the series 2 years later  So that leaves the 1c and 2c and the old large 5c to 50c. The two copper denominations share a single album, with one each for the 5c to 50c.  The worst is the 20cents, holes too small and coins keep popping out unless you force coins in there with a jackhammer, especially UNC coins like these.  But the huge plusses are the coins are safe and you can see what you need at a glance as you buy these coins in. The other plus is you can constantly replace coins as you get better ones! This is why my posts took so long as I sorted through hundreds of NZ coins to find the best for these albums and upgrade what I had in there.  Still I think for $55NZ postpaid these are entirely worth it, just be prepared tp push your 20 cents coins in!  Edited by Princetane

Yikes PT.  I thought cardboard was a no-no for coin storage, especially from China. I've seen traumatizing pics of coins stored in cardboard albums from the 60s and 70s. Not pretty. How do you stop accidental fingerprints getting on the coins while the folder is open? Quote:

That's exactly why I settled on coin capsules over mylar flips. Also you can get a view of the edge with capsules.  PS. Promise I'll get you my wants list in the next week or two!  Edited by David Graham
