    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    It just does not look 'Right' anyway. Strangely high price for a 'Copy' too.

    TOY COINS

    Davies does not list any different numbers of pearls, just the position of the top cross. Probably blockages like you said.

    1920 Half Crown, Superb

    I got some very nice George iii coins from John Welsh in the nineties. Very nice to deal with I remember.

    2023 Royal Mint Unc. sets

    Early January I would guess.

    If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it is a rat and should not be bought. Just my opinion.

    Yes, looks green. I thought that they called it green toning or patina these days😁
  7. I think that i missed out this time, 0 wins from 4 bids. London Coins website is still down, but i have not received any email from them, so i guess that it means no wins.

    Maybe the sellers could mention what the actual reserve is, before the auction finishes.

    I cannot think of anything better than counting teeth on these😁

    I got a first edition for about £100 about 5 years ago, from Canada I think. It really is a great book.

    I think not. Just a trick of the light in my opinion.
  12. They certainly got their money's worth out of those early 1860's dies.

    Of course, i should have mentioned the other engravers etc, not all down to Mr Wyon.
  14. I think that you are spot on as usual. Shame on Noonan's, but hopefully other buyers will notice what you have noticed about the 3 and 4d's.

    Well if Mr Wyon had not made any mistakes, the bronze coinage of 1860-63 would have been a lot less interesting.

    That was a brilliant sketch.

    That is some nice work with those 1856 pennies. I too was surprised at the amount of PT small dates that were found. Saltford Coins had a very nice one a few months ago.

    The 1856 plain trident have both the large date and small date, but i believe that the small date is rarer on those. However, the ornamental trident is only found with the small date as far as i know. So overall, probably the small date is slightly rarer.

    I would say small date.
  20. That was a lovely coin. It also said that it had the portrait from the 1866-1879 threepenc, so the second portrait. That would mean that it was from a later striking. Does that make sense?

    I doubt if there are many numismatists working with the police, or even been asked to help.(with there enquiries)

    1969 coin prices

    I guess that there are a few members on here that did buy coins in 1969. I was born in 1969, so that is a few years before i bought any.

    Yes, shocking. I wonder if that is £250,000 retail and what the bullion value would be to those scumbag thieves.
