New Zealand

Do you have a New Zealand coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I got the lot of foreign coins about a week ago and as promised I'm showing of some interesting pieces. I paid exactly $0.10 per coin and the average value for the coins was $0.34 per coin. Some coins were horrible and full of damage. All the coins have been searched, you should always expect the coins to be searched even if they say unsearched.

I'll start with some New Zealand coins because some one just asked a question about them.

Some things you may not know about New Zealand coins, as of July 31 2006, 10, 20, and 50 cents coins were replaced by new small thin versions and the nickel (5 cents) coin was removed from circulation. These coins are demonetized and no longer accepted in the their native lands.

Obverse above.

Reverse below.
Some coins turned out to be Proof or Proof-like.

Starting from right to left on the top row.

I will have it checked along with the rest of my coins one day and find out what the metal is.

I hope I'm wrong but yes all that is left is to pay an expert to grade it. New Zealand coins have been plated since the 1950s it has something to do with fashion or style. But none have any extra value.

Also, 1997 NZ$2 coin recalled as it wasn't consistent with other mintings of this coin and was often rejected by vending machines. '97 coins were thinner both to the touch and to sight and had less of a 'roll' on the edge. Becoming rapidly more and more rare

Thanks. Good to know. I'll be hanging on to these ones for a while. The $2 info was for you. I live in NZ and I still see the occasional 97/98 $2 coin in circulation. I have one of each stashed as I'm sure they'll be worth a little something many generations down the track. As it stands, they're worth far more as actual currency than as "collectors' items"... for what NZ$2 is worth. Just thought you'd like to know the 'why' of the recall. Cheers :)

hi I colect coins and i have alot of the old new zealand 10 cents but recently i found an old new zealand 10 cent but at the bottom of the maori face it said one shilling yet my other 10 cents dont it is a new zealand 10 cent, one shilling 1969. Is it worth any more than my other 10 cents?
thanks

Man said...

new zealand 10 cent, one shilling 1969 about $0.20

Yes before 1967 they used the pound sterling standard, then they switched to decimal coins but to not confuse people from 1967-1969 they used the old names.
After 1969 the used the new name of "10 Cents".

Man said...

nz 1948 half crown about $1.25 in fine, it is not rare since 1,600,000 were made.

There is a rare Proof variety where only 20 were made, but is has a mirror background not a dull finish.

A blank is usually 100 times face value so about $200.00 in very-fine.

That said I have never seen this type at auction so I do not know if there is a market or if I'm guessing low.

Hi, I have a new zealand 1987 20c error coin, its too thin and the and the die strike is too weak.

It hasn't been in circulation my mother picked up on it while working as a teller in a bank - it was a fresh batch in from where ever them come from.

Any idea of worth?

Many thanks

Man said...

new zealand 1987 20c error coin, its too thin and the and the die strike is too weak.

It hasn't been in circulation...


Could be Lamination error, where a piece breaks off but still gets stamped. About $10.00

Also an Off Metal strike, where a different coin blank was used, about $100.00.

At this point the only way to now is to have someone look at it in hand, try clubs and dealers get more than 3 opinions.

New Zealand error are rare but they also are hard to sell as the market is small.

It should weigh 10 grams and be 29 mm in diameter.

I do not think anyone would fake this coin.

It would be about $4.00 on average. Assuming it is a 2-1/2 G coin.
