Visited my local coin dealer and was allowed to sort through box containing some items from a recently acquired collection. The dealer had removed all the items they were interested in but a decent amount of world items remained. Amongst those items I found the following:

Unexpected-NZ-Half-Crown-Pick-Up
Unexpected-NZ-Half-Crown-Pick-Up
Unexpected-NZ-Half-Crown-Pick-Up

Reverses are lovely. Obverses are decent but some detritus from being in contact with album which came off fairly easily. I would say that they are AU obv/UNC rev.

Picked it up on an impulse but not sure about what to do next. May just sell off the majority. The 1944 (key date) may be sent in for grading. Any one have a value estimate?

Very cool set. I don't typically go for foreign coins, but these look cool.

Nice pick-up drdn!

This site may be of some help as a starting point. https://www.allcoinvalues.com/new-z...-values.html
For a more accurate indication of current value I would suggest checking out recent sold prices on sites such as ebay.

Tane is not able to log on here anymore,
Drdn, he asked me to tell you from what he can see these would be worth at least a few hundred, but some close up pics would help.

I picked up a 1944 on ebay in Fine condition (which is streets away from thinking about TPG)
I paid $44.00.
A close up of the reverse will show some good indications of wear on the faces of the Maori inspired design.
Triggersmob may be able to pass it on.
