Reboots are all the rage on TV...So I thought why not start a new "Red paperclip/wooden nickel" trade.

The rules are mostly from lessons learned from the last go round:

Send your trade offer by PM, I like to post the new trade available as a big reveal when it is actually received.

I will select the trade I like best.

I will not send out the outgoing trade to you, until I receive your trade. My last go round had a negative hiccup...so unfortunately this rule is necessary.

I am going to limit it to a 1 for 1 numismatic trade...having multiple coins come in for one coin makes it a little too complicated to take pictures and set up the next trade.


The goal is to see how long the trade can keep going...and each time trading for something better...this is for entertainment, will cost me $$ in postage, and is not intended for anything but interaction with others on this board and having a little fun. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Trade #1 - A Wooden Nickel Of Course - pictures to follow.

Anyone interested in a wooden nickel from the "Untied States"...seems to get more untied every day.

This example Looks to have a mint error on the second s in states...or maybe it is post mint damage. Never cleaned and appears to be a rotated die

Will trade for any numismatic item...and you get the bragging rights of being part of the first trade. PM me with anything you got collecting dust in that junk box

I would love to play, and I sooooo want that wooden nickel ......but shipping to and from USA from Australia is around $20 AUS so I think I'll have to pass. A real shame though as I would have parted with my coveted .....................

Lumber Futures could be on the rise soon...No one has a trade offer for this fabulous wooden nickel?

All offers will be considered anywhere close to spot price

If you want to help get the ball rolling...PM me your trade offer.

Still on my desk...waiting for that first brave soul to start the trades rolling in.



Basically you get this wonderful wooden nickel for the cost of your postage, and some coin that has been in your junk drawer for years that you have no plans for...but not worth selling on ebay. I can't be the only one that has some of those.

PM me with what you would like to offer if you want to take part.
