spink numsimatic circular
oldcopper replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Never heard of that to be honest - like their search a coin archive from the sound of it, you key in any general info about a type of coin and it comes up with "No lots found". Complete waste of time. -
spink numsimatic circular
oldcopper replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
SNC's final issue staggered out at the start of 2014, and it had been getting more infrequent in the couple of years before that. It used to be 6 a year (and every month long ago). The bloke in charge unfortunately had a serious car accident at the time which was the final blow. It's not on Spink's website. -
Penny Acquisition of the week
oldcopper replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I notice some of these W.W's, including mine (which is better condition than this, say Fine), have a weakly struck FID: It's very unusual for a Royal Mint 19th century copper coin to have such noticeable weakness in the legend like that. -

I take it this die got re-used in 1844. Presumably you've got one of those. -

I have to say it's a lovely coin, it cost me quite a bit more than £850. -
Ongoing Spink Sale (17/1/21) Featuring OUTRAGEOUS Prices

Here's a price rise in that sale: Anne pattern halfpenny P726: £1,800. I sold it in their March 2020 sale for £850. Aaagh..... Someone made a few hundred quid on it. -
..as usually found.

Or if you prefer farthings,

Perhaps there's something like a Dulux chart available for slabbers?

Still on the penny thread, anyone interested in the load of completely naturally toned (sarcasm) 1937 proof bronze coming up for auction in Heritage? Someone's chancing their arm....do you want one in bright blue or luridly efflorescent blue, sir?

There's a 1934 lustrous example coming up in the LCA auction. Hard to tell from a photo I suppose but the colour looks reasonably honest:

clogs, die faults, et al.

The 1799 and 1806 copper are known for occasional flat areas in the legends, Peck mentions it. He says the currency proofs don't suffer from it so it must be a facet of production "en masse". -
Looking for a very old Spink Auction list.

Five? - was there a tokens one as well? -
Sorry - it got sent before I'd written anything. I sold a Bramah 25c through Spink last year - nice one, quite lustrous - £440 I think. You don't see many of them around, but not a very exciting coin for me as no-one's worked out the under-figure yet as far as I know.
