1979 Susan B Anthony - a little help.
Hey Guys I would love your opinions on this one. I recently got hold of a decent 1979 Susan B Antony $1 coin. Only I cant decide which variety it is. So I have decided to cast a slightly wider net and ask your considered opinions on the matter.Is this a type 1 or 2 ie.- is this the 'clear S' or the 'filled S'See More

Has This Finally Gone too Far?
The Perth mint has released Transformer coins. No the coins dont shape-shift and try to take over the world, the simply depict transformers. But does this actually have any numismatic merit?See More

Ultra High Relief is back up After Suspension
So the Ultra High Relief Double Eagle gold coin(say that three times fast) is back up for sale from the mint and $50 more expensive than it was yesterday. The new price is $1239The site says: Product will be available for shipping 02/13/2009I think that this date is highly unlikely especially taking into consideration that most orders were pushed back just Tuesday.Whats your opinions on this. Is it really necessary for the mint to suspend sales for nearly a day to adjust prices every time(as…See More

What coins do you collect?
I specialise in British Commonwealth banknotes & coins,including from such countries as Lesotho,Botswana,Namibia,Swaziland,South Africa,Rhodesia,& Zimbabwe.
I do have some postal orders in my collection from quite a few British African countries,including South West Africa,Bophuthatswana,Ciskei,Transkei,& Venda .

A contact of mine in America told me that the currency ones don't have datestamps at all.
I bought one of my 1 Pond postal notes off a guy over here in New Zealand who had put it up on eBay (a.k.a. FleaBay) as a South African one a few years back,& got no bidders.He went ahead & sold it to me for NZ$25.
The other one,I actually bought in a postal auction in England for the equivilant of around 10 Pounds Sterling.
I do have a 1 Pond note from the South African Republic,but no postal orders though.
I have got 2 of the Green Point Track Internment Camp notes - the 1/- & 2/- ones.There are 2 different 5/- notes,which are totally different colours,but they are very hard to find.

The interesting ones are the ones that were actually cashed outside the Orange Free State.I have got a 1/- one that was issued at Heilbron (O.F.S.) on the 6th. of April 1899 & cashed at Steynsburg (Cape of Good Hope) on the 10th. of April 1899.Yes,it has a C.G.H. 1d. red stamp on the back of the note.
All of the denominations exist as a currency issue,except for the 1/6 one.
The South African Republic's postal orders never turn up over here in New Zealand.Both the Cape of Good Hope & Natal also issued their own postal orders.
One of the most unusual postal orders I saw up on FleaBay was a 1/- British Postal Order with the 'BRITISH FIELD POST OFFICE SOUTH AFRICA' datestamp with a date of around 1900.That was up on FleaBay around 3 months ago.The Standerton B.F.P.O. issue for Natal is slightly more common,but it is still expensive.
Another very unusual postal order I saw was a South African 1/- one that was issued at Windhoek (South West Africa) in 1952 up on FleaBay a few months ago.

Thanks for your kind reply. I understand. I am ready to pay extra premium for 2 coins. At the time of issue, I was offered a 20 coins. But we are not allowed to send money out of India and buy coins. We can only trade.
I can send you a British India Silver Rupee. I collect U.S. and German coins. You have wonderful coins in your collection WISH YOU AND FAMILY A MERRY CHRISTMAS. Sincerely, George
