I am wondering if anyone knows of or collects coins related to LGBTQ+ / Gay Rights.

So far I am only aware of 3 legit coins:
Canada $1 from 2019
Canada $10 from 2019
Upcoming UK 50p (coming July 2022?)

I have found tokens, but am only interested in legal tender.

Any other coins around?

Any ideas on what this coin is or where it's from (or if it's even a coin!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just use my mobile phone, but take pics of coins using the free app Cozy Magnifier & Microscope. It is fantastic for taking highly detailed photos of small items like coins or stamps.

For calculating profit, I have a spreadsheet I use.

I have a business account, so my profit calc is:
(LIST PRICE + SHIPPING PRICE) - (((postage cost + packaging)+(ad 5% * List Price) + (coin cost) + ((list price + shipping price)* 12.9%) + $0.33)) * 1.1 for 10% GST)

Definitely recommend setting up a spreadsheet with your profit formula so you can just copy/paste it. Makes pricing much easier and prevents losses.

@Oldfordman

I had that happen a few times, and now in all my listings I include...

Shipping Options:
- Free postage for standard domestic
- $4.50 for registered post (includes signature + tracking)
We recommended you choose registered shipping for your purchase as we do not take responsibility for untracked products lost by Australia Post in transit.

For any coins valued over $50 I ONLY offer postage that includes tracking.

The best way to do it is find a few different sources (eg. auction houses, coin stores, different sellers on ebay/gumtree/tradingpost. The first time you buy from each seller, create a spreadsheet listing your valuable finds and which seller you got them from, then compare it against the price they charge per kg (inc postage).

My two fav sources charge $170 per 10kg (average results), and $279 per 10kg (excellent results. I always end up making a profit from these sellers. Other sources have fairly mixed results.

$400 of One Dollar Coins

Noodling results:
5 x commemorative coins in aUNC condition
1 x alphabet coin
1 x 2009 low mintage
1 x $1/10 cent mule

Always seem to get the best results from coin roll change machines.
