Απόσπασμα: erdvilla..., so I might get one this weekend.

Απόσπασμα: erdvillaA new challenger appears!

South Africa - Boer Republics

Had seen some discussion on the Forums about diving South Africa, and I think this is the first successful one. Surprisingly the coins aren't that expensive, even for the silver ones, so I might get one this weekend.

Oh, and he is one of those users that does accept BEST OFFERS, so be sure to offer yourself a decent discount and you will surely get the coin for 60-75%.

Απόσπασμα: FrenchloverWell ... try banknotes for your missing countries
Notes of Kiautschou are bargain compared to coins

Just wondering- why can not  the US Quarters- Hawaii Costa-rica Marianna  and  Am Samoa etc be considered as circulating coinage for those nations- as i would assume that they were will used in those nations/islands
I know the Norfolk island coin produced by australia, circulates alot on that island (and they received alot of the stock of this issue)
I only mention this as it would give me 5 easy to get steps towards the 300 club   hehe

Hi the differance is of course that unlike the coins of Cooks and Palau  they depict the name of the country/island and are LEGAL TENDER in those locations The norfolk Island coin especially as most of the stock of that coin was given to there banking system and used freely on the island

The other side of the coin is what makes the difference; the Seal, sadly. Otherwise some coins from Palau and Cook Islands would be legal tender in a lot of other countries because they depict a lot of things that aren't from there.

So what about the  early french -English and  Portugese etc  colony coins that depicted queen or  set reverse, for each of there colonies--I see no differance between these coins and the USA quarters----the important thing is that they depict the name of colony on one side- and are legal tender for those countries (along with other US quartrers of course)
The Cook island coins are only tourist tokens, and are only of value to a collector. the locals do not even want their circulating coin series as payment and prefer NZ,US or Aust funds for purchases

Απόσπασμα: mic-w-nlHi guys,
I think I fit in the 300 country(conform numista) club too.
I did not read all the posts(sorry for that) but found some strange behavior.
This is my collection:

These are the countries I miss conform numista:  (can someone help me with some of these   )

I saw Micronesia is zero too!?i, I try to find this country by the country overview, but didn't find it. Searching on this word delivers me an overview of "token Micronesia" and here I've got one!?
How can I get Micronesia out of the zero-zone?

Απόσπασμα: mic-w-nlThese are the countries I miss conform numista:  (can someone help me with some of these   )

I bet someone will soon feverishly rummages in ebay for this country

Απόσπασμα: ngdawaerdvilla: i have no idea how you havemanaged to collect 7 tannu tuvan coins. there is a lot ot 7 coins out now on ebay for "just" $2,500!!!!  

Asked a Russian fella for local sales over there and he linked me with several sales for crappy-looking (not lower than F thou) Tannu Tuva coins in an average of 80$ at local auction sites (average 1/10th of what you would find at international eBay), so after saving for a long time I was finally able to confirm the purchases. International eBay has of course very few of them, most NGC certified which are no less than 800$ each, that is why I asked to someone near to the source. It usually happens that local coins are often cheaper near their origin, while once outside they tend to get the extra punch of "exotic coinage". Now I only need to wait for the snail-speed mail to deliver them, got them sent into 5 separate envelopes to reduce risk.

Similar of what I did with some ex-French coinage, Frenchlover here linked me to some eBay.fr sales of them, and the prices where again usually 1/10th of those in main eBay.com, I simply marked them as Watched and then switched to the normal eBay to conclude the purchase as doing so in French could get me in trouble in mid-translation of shipping or extra charges that I wouldn't understand. Thanks Frenchlover!

A great advantage of trusty Numista members that are willing to help you beyond the normal swaps.

I guess it is very similar to what happens with Mexican Revolutionary coins here.

Απόσπασμα: erdvillaPersianate States are back into my missing countries, but I remained at 381, so, where some moved to a new country? Oh I see: Central Asia

Also, there is a new challenger: Khorezm People's Soviet Republic Although most consider this as part of Central Asia coinage, so might be short-lived here in Numista.

Απόσπασμα: erdvillaAlso, if you are from a country in where regular mail is quite safe, then you have access to coin purchases from the US, CAN and UK, which have pretty expensive Registered mail fees ($20 dollars or more), so if your mail is safe then you won't need to avoid  sellers from there, as I usually do, unless the coins is $100 or more I won't spend $20 on registered mail, buying coins for $15 and paying $20 for shipping is simply stupid, but otherwise they'll pretty much be stolen or lost. So I avoid buying from those countries most of the time.

This is why I love sellers from countries like Dubai (UAE) or India. $4.5 for a Registered mail shipment which arrives all the way from there to Mexico in less than 10 days + the time it takes to reach me from Mexico City, which can be 4-21 days    that is why my mail isn't pretty safe, because it is so slow it gives time to thieves to snatch envelopes easily.
