Is there anyone who would like to swap coins with me? I also have old coins and coins from many other countries other than mentioned so please don't assume that I have only these coins. Plz guys, I am new to Numista and I need help from you all.

Do you think creating another topic with the same title will help you? it's been suggested in your original topic to build up your swap list first, swap with people in your own country, build up positive feedback...
Do you think requests like in your profile
Quote1. Any Gold coin especially if it's British Indian, Mughal or just Indian or foreign(to India).
2. Any Silver rupee of Edward VII, Queen Victoria, William IV or before.
zero feedback, pretty basic coins in your swap list and posting duplicate messages in this forum will get you anywhere? Wrong!
Welcome to Numista though. Hope you consider what the community suggests and become active and valuable member.
I really doubt that you are going to find too many people here who have such high value coin to exchange. Even if you do, I would be willing to bet they won't consider mailing them to India or to a collector with no feedback. No matter how nicely or often you ask you can't expect to swap common coins for high value items.
Perhaps you should learn to walk before starting to run. Make some local swaps with local collectors for more realistically affordable coins. Vague assurances that you have "other coins" are not helpful to potential swap partners. What possible reason could you have for not listing them?

I couldn't upload my coins because they were packed till yesterday and I couldn't open all of them because I didn't want to mess all my stuff. Many people think here that I am not a bona fide swapper just because I couldn't upload my coins till yesterday. I didn't expect that many numista users do not even understand that reviews are gained only when a person is able to swap with me. And many of you users think that w person is bona fide only if he has reviews. I hope you guys understand what I mean to say if you read this.
Hope you understand

Personally I don't think you're bona fide because you contacted me for a swap out of the blue (straight after I posted on the forum that I just received a big lot of silver coins) When I replied to you that new members are required to send their coins first I haven't heard a peep out of you.

that was because I had too many swaps pending on my folder and I forgot yours but I'll surely reply to that as soon as possible.

My dear Google, I have no opinion either way regarding your bona fide credentials, that will be established over time. You do seem like a nice and personable fellow so I was offering you some well intended advice.
Your list of coins to exchange consists exclusively of low value coins from the 1980's - 2000's. The coin you are asking for typically have a value in the $100's.

Same here Neilithic, fly on fresh turd scenario as soon as he spotted my GOLD ( plus silver from my swap list ) for trade.
I gave the same polite advice but still got another message basically begging with a request that we post at the same time ( IGNORED the polite advice ) for a swap that was never going to happen.
Like I would ever swap my gold & silver for 2 bobs worth of modern crap with a complete noob who refuses to follow the rules, all of this said there is still time for him to get his s£*t in order and prove me wrong.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.
I can't blame the feller for wanting the Edward VI half sovereign you were offering. It's a little beauty and I'd like it myself but unfortunately I can't come up with enough of the coins you were looking to exchange it for.
Consider it a form of flattery I guess. I know it gets irritating and a lot of members have removed all their gold and silver coins from their swap lists because of the volume of unrealistic offers they attract. I did so myself for a long time until I found that I was stuck with a lot of silver coins I neither wanted or needed and was shooting myself in the foot. I'm quite happy swapping high value silver coins for items I need no matter what they are made from, but that's high grade Victorian copper, not modern pocket change.
Keep yer chin up and hopefully you will eventually get the kind of offer such a beautiful coin deserves.

thats funny because here what Google said to me in our swap:
Quote///
Fjodin, I think that we should make at least this swap going on because the postage time which would be there from your place to me, here in India would take lots of time and my visit to my other home would also take a few months as I told you so I think that we should swap the coins which are currently ready with us this time, and in our next swap we will swap those coins too. This would give us both of us a new experience and we both can give two positive replies about each other. I hope you agree
///
I created a swap with Google to get some common Indian coins from his swap list because I don't have any of these common ones. Google told me he have silver Indian coins and he wanted to swap silver to save on postage expenses. I said that I can arrange silver Australian pences and shillings for him if he can swap silver for silver. Google said that his silver coins in other home and he need several months to get them, so he told me that he is ready to swap TWO OF HIS COINS for one SILVER one from Australia!
Two common coins from change for 1 silver one? And he need several months to get his silver coins from other house?
Highest denomination coins from Google swap list are 10 rupee coins of 2012. Let's assume he will give me 2 of his coins for 1 silver one. Cheapest Australian silver coin is 3-pence coin and its minimum price in Australian shops is 2 Australian dollars.
Because Google offers pocket change coins let's use XE.com to see exchange rate. 1 Indian rupee is 0.021 Australian Dollar.
(2*10 Rupee)*0.021 = 0.42 AuD
Less than 50 cents for 2$ worth coin. And it's only tiny threepence. And what about shilling and florin?

This person, Fjodin is really interesting, first he offers to swap with me, then negotiates and finally stops to reply at all, I told him that if he wants my silver coins then he would have to wait for some time, perhaps a few months, then he does not reply for some days saying he was busy and throughout this whole process, he has just been saying that he has to buy coins from a shop. Then the same day when he replied after days, he cancelled the swap offer without uttering a word, I offered him another swap request, but he did not reply even then. And if you, Fjodin wanted to exchange coins by value, why did you even bother asking for a swap. You already knew that the coins in my swap list were what you call, Indian pocket change. And if you really wanted to swap against my silver, you had to be patient. If I couldn't arrange my coins instantly it means I couldn't.
Each coin has its own intrinsic value, never disregard any coin be it a penny or a mohur.
I'm confused. You say that the only coins you have available are modern pocket change, yet this morning you opened up a swap with me for 20 mainly silver coins with a combined valued of almost $300 claiming you have "other coins".
"Do you want to exchange coins with me, I have coins other than these too so please don't presume that I have the coins mentioned in my swap list only.
Best Regards"
Are you proposing that I should swap 20 very high value coins, including several 19th century silver crowns, for worthless modern coins or is it that you are expecting me to send them to you and you will send me some unspecified but similar value coins in a few months..... maybe?
Do I look like some kind of paint drinker to you?

If you want to benefit from this site you will have to learn how things work here. Please don't come to a house with established rules and push your own principles, believes and/or promises. Remember, people are judged by their appearance first and later, after some time when others really get to know the person people start getting who and what that person really is. So far, all we know about you, a person from the other side of the globe for some of us, is based on your words and some of your actions (that actually do not fit well with established house rules).
I suggest you learn your ways around this community, its rules and principles before you make any statements or conclusions. Starts small, gain some trust and may be, may be one day people will trust you enough to make large swaps.
In any case, you have to have the coins listed in your swap list. I personally would not even consider negotiating about anything not listed. I would also ask you to send a high-resolution scan of all the coins I want in a swap so you better have them all "with you". Otherwise, just don't list them and don't even mention them.
I don't think it's worth anyone's time to type as much as I have and this is the last time I'm doing so (on this particular topic). I'd rather enjoy a beautiful, warm Christmas day with my family.
He proposed a swap with me ( I have all swapping turned off) ... when I asked him if he was on Facebook or what his name and address was, he was evasive. Said I was the first guy to ask him this info... so he thinks I'm going to swap with him and send him money without a name or address?
Either he is a child or very naive.... or a scammer
Something does not pass the smell test here... I'd be careful.

OK and here is my version.
I wanted to help new member - Google to get some rating, so I created a swap. I wanted to swap for his regular modern Indian coins ONLY because I don't have any.
He said that he is keen to exchange silver coins or coins before the year 1950. But I said that that I can exchange silver Australian coins BUT for this swap it will be better to exchange only regular coins and if swap will be OK we can exchange silver in second swap.
I also said that first swap of regular non silver coins will help Google to get some ratings and stars because some of Numista members are suspicious to new members without any ratings.
Google said this:
///////
Fjodin, what about exchanging silver as well as regular coins in this swap. This would reduce the postage costs, as well as the long waiting times which would be present in two swaps.
//////
I decided to agree to add some 3 and 6 pences as well as some shillings and flowins if Google will add Indian silver. I told him that I need to go to shop and buy these coins for swap.
Then I was extremely busy at my dayjob before holiday season, so I could not reply very often t any of my ongoing swaps.
But then Google became to behave strangely.
He said this//////////////
would it be ok if I give you 2 coins each in exchange for a silver.
////////////////////////////
I replied//////////////
I am thinking for this swap of exchanging silver australian coins against your silver :)
What coins silver do you have for swap?
////////////////////////
and then Google created his masterpiece///////////////
Fjodin, I think that this time we should follow the technique which I've suggested because it would be really tough to get my silver coins for exchange within a month, because all of them are packed and not with me currently, they are in one of the other places where I also reside, and I think that a trip there would take place after a few months, so I think that I give you two coins in exchange for a silver each this time and next time I'll exchange my silvers with you. Is it ok.
Best Regards
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I realised that he is probably trying to trick me or some sort, and closed the swap.
Quote: "Fjodin125"Because it sound really strange when he have another house in India full of silver and he is not able to reach this house for couple of mounths :)
I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole man. Nothing he says makes much sense and given the track record of these sorts of things... I wouldn't swap silver with him unless his coins were already in my hands.
I picked this guy as a scammer the day he first contacted me. I even posted about it on this thread (see my post on 30th November) Anyone who constantly asks for silver (even though it's just mentioned in a forum post and not in a swap list) then refuses to add any coins into their swap list but alludes to having silver is not to be trusted.

Yeah he's got scammer written all over him I'm afraid. He's had every chance to play it straight and continues to peddle evasions and unlikely tales of silver hoards.

Scammer for sure, but new to it because he could have just lied and put a bunch of silver in his swap list like the other scammers do.

You are completely right. I'm afraid I'm a little bit obsessed concerning everything about coin collecting, so I also read every forum post. But I already knew after a few posts I will never ever swap with this member. He started completely on the wrong foot. That's not uncommon for a (young) newbie but even after all the good advice he got here he stayed that way.
I'm sorry, but I don't trust him. Of course a good reputation is enormously important here (and everywhere) but you won't get that by begging for good reviews and begging for silver. The only way to get is to EARN it and that's not possible the way you do.
Listen to Phil's good advice: start walking before you start running.
I'm afraid I too was also contacted by Google. He offered to swap my gold coin for Indian coins. Fortunately being a newbie myself I made this mistake of entering my gold coin in the wrong box, so I never contemplated the swap. But I too, am "mildly" concern at Google "estimation of equity" in relation to his proposed swap with me. I haven't done any swaps yet although I have had a few offers, I'm afraid my coin collection is very narrow so I wont find many people who have stuff that I need. However, after reading this post my eyes have been opened to the need for vigilance ...

you only collect old Jamaican coins?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
I sent georgie coins a swap request for two coins, he said he was willing to sell them but not swap as he is only interested in Jamaican coins, then I asked him the price which he would offer for the coins, he replied that one of them(the gold coin) was not for sale but he could sell a victoria normal coin for ten USD plus shipping, which I refused to give him, so I don't understand the harm in that.

Google I think you deliberately miss the point - the point is you are habitually offering to swap coins at vastly unequal values. Why would I contemplate swapping my gold coin for some indian coins of unspecified value. And more to the point - why would you propose such as swap - either you are naïve about the value of coins or there is something more sinister going on - I will leave others to make their own mind up.

Yea a very weird choice for topic and post out of the blue...unless they knew a whole back story somehow.
Listen its really quite simple. If you dont have a reputation yet and you approach people looking for gold and silver you need to have equivalent things to swap in your list and be willing to send first none of this negotiating about having things at others houses that you can swap at a later date so just trust me...thats exceedingly naive or dishonest. It is quite easy to avoid those issues altogether. We were all new swappers at one point and we all built reputations. I have swapped both base and silver coins some cheap some expensive with many many members all over the world. I just really think this is common sense.
It's quite simple. Nobody in their right mind would trade silver and gold for modern circulation coins or the promise of silver and gold to come. Would you trade all your gold coins for some 50c coins from New Zealand? I don't think so.
The more senior members of this site have shown their trustworthiness by completing swaps and getting feedback from swapping partners. Even if you do have valuable coins to swap (which I doubt), as a new member you need to send coins first when swapping with a senior member. They have built up a good reputation then it's only fair to give them protection from possible scammers who have just shown up out of the blue demanding gold and silver coins.

Hey Delta, how do you know Google is a she ?
Creating a profile just to make a random post defending your friends ridiculous behaviour puts you in the same bracket, F>&ki%G hilarious.
If you consider asking for gold & silver in exchange for tat needing help then you have serious intellect issues, I suggest you use the time you have left on this planet more constructively.
I myself gave some excellent advice & tips on how to behave on the forum but SHE chose to ignore this and continued with the stupid begging, unfortunately you cant educate pork !
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.
Firstly ninbobnote, I am not a she, secondly I do not know delta personally.
And lastly, i have not even begged from you, what I told you was crystal clear and it is my wish on how I want to swap. And if you don't want to abide to it, then please don't swap but don't write unnecessarily. And I don't need your so called excellent tips. And I suggest you use time judiciously rather than just wasting it on something which won't fetch you anything.

Well, you certainly are persistent.
You seem to be very capable of making an arse of yourself on a public forum whilst demonstrating a complete ignorance for any rules/ regulation or sensible advice from time served members regarding your behaviour.
The term " same head " is very applicable right now, although I was raised not to mock the afflicted I will make an exception in your case.
Send me the address of your " other " house, you know the 1, its full of silver coins that you cant get to.
I will pick out the ones I want and send you a bag of beans sometime in the future.

Enough of this guy. I haven't seen naïve spelled correctly in a while. I like it!
I'm not Google, Delta or anyone else. Just wanted to clear that up first.
Google: Speaking as another newbie here, you are being offered some great advice here. Swap low, like for like, build up your feedback and then aim higher. You should expect to have to send your coins first and wait for the receiver to get them before the next step.
You may even have to do something a bit drastic to start like my first swap. I've sent $30 of coins to Eastern Europe, by insured post, costing £8, in exchange for $15 worth of coins. It hurts, but I needed that first bit of positive feedback, which I'm currently waiting for. My second and third swaps aren't quite as bad, but they are in the other persons favour. I can't continue this of course, and hope for the swaps to be a little more in my favour some time (please!!!!!)
I'm not green, I have been dealing in coins for 24 years, but I've decided to ramp things up a bit. I haven't got all of my doubles and swaps listed yet as I think it would make for an epic read with over 7,000 pieces I need to move. I'm just going to see what I'm asked for most and start there. Some of the requests have been comical. I've had several requests for a 1 mace 4.4 candareen ,catalogue value in excess of $900, as well as a bunch of other coins, from people with a whole list of Euros and US cents that wouldn't total half of the value.
This is the flip side. Do you know what you're asking for? Do you realise the disparity between what you want and what you have? Are you willing to swap 12 of your coins for just one of someone else's? Do your homework. As for the "I can get silver coins in a month or two". It would send me running the other way.
To answer someone else's comment about no address, f you're not comfortable about giving your address to a member with a fair amount of feedback, you're on the wrong site. I don't give out my home address, but I do have a P.O.Box. This isn't to be deceptive, It's because of my profession and I work from home. But if you want to know my website, Facebook and LinkedIn details, no problem. Instagram and twitter are fairly new for me and wouldn't give the impression of an established presence. But I do exist, I even use my real name as my screen name. Can you provide anything to reassure people?
Yep, sure, I've been a bit adventurous in a couple of my swap requests (South African gold ponds), but you never know, if someone wanted to clean out my copper and silver for it, it might be worth it (not an invitation). A couple of requests I've made have been for bullion that isn't as common over here and it's clear that the owners of these coins are bullion collectors, so I've listed some of mine.
Be realistic and start small, otherwise you are going to be marked as a leper and won't get any successful swaps.
That's my thoughts from where I'm standing, well actually sitting with a glass of whisky at 1am. Sorry for the long post.
Never aspire to have more, aspire to be more. (unless we're talking collecting of course).

This is actually quite disappointing and disturbing. I'm sorry someone took advantage of you even though you seem to be fine with it yourself. Having a chance to be the first swap partner for a few Numista members myself I made sure the experience for them was positive and most importantly fair.

Sorry I cannot help as there is nothing at all in your list yet that I am looking for :-(
In my first few months of membership, i started sending my coins to people first without asking them to send or even send at the same time. I slowly picked up rating. Even now i sometimes send first after seeing what the rating the other person has. Also people in general will hesitate to send coins to India. Mostly coins are stopped by postal authorities as they usually scan posts for metals and then they open them. Coins are returned to you after years or sometimes they are stolen by postal people there. If you want to send coins out of India it is same story. Cannot send as it gets scanned and returned to you even with registered mail, however well you pack. Within India you can post without restrictions. No scanning done.
We are dealing with a post started in 2015, ended in 2016, untill its revival in 2018.
I do not feel in charge of what hapened in the past, but I feel some responsability for now. I will not therefore moderate some writings that the past moderators did not consider worth it.
This forum is dedicated to swaps.
the 2018 posts were not pertaining to any swap.
Topic.
None..... Just a few angry fellows exchanging bitter remarks at each other. Useless for all non concerned members.
I love you all (as fellows numismats, of course)
Just a single guideline: either it is just pure kindish bullshit and disregard or it is over the line and report so that we can delete or moderate ;-)
