LCA catalogue now online
Bruce replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Just received an invoice from LCA, again and again, i am so accurate in bidding at LCA😅😅. 6 out of 8 are with my max bid, 1 is only 1 step away. The remaining one which is a medal is few steps away. I think I should be more conservative (which already) in bidding next time. -
My result showing the same. If my bid didn't meet reserve, they are showing 1 bid n reserve not met. For the 1922 penny, the reserve maybe at 8k, 10k or 12k, only auctioneer know. I have placed bid for a medal lot with estimate at 30-35, but i remember the reserve was at 50 or 60.

Bruce replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Nice article, it let us have an insight of the past. -
Go through the catalogue yesterday, but a bit fuzzy about grading of some bun head pennies...they said UNC, but i think it is not only 1 grade below it🙄

Which 1926 Florin is the Better Coin
Bruce replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Prefer the bottom as well, especially the better strike on reverse -
Seems likely a very popular one, in view 1902, 1911 coronation long sets are doing well after decades.

Bruce replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No idea why, but this is their first time to delay so long for postage, usually they send out items within 2 weeks after auction. However, i prefer delay rather than damage, if i have option😅. -
I like the 50p, and i think we have to queue at RM again next monday. Also, look forward to the 2023 annual coin set.

Maybe coins for circulation won't be launched till next year, however for commemorative coins, they will launch with new obverse as soon as possible to make money. Royal Mint launch new coins week by week before, they can't afford to suspend minting till next year. On the other hand, there were not so many commemorative coins decades ago comparing with now, so there is no such dilemma facing.

I'm afraid the coin is impaired. -
That's quicker than expect. Originally think KCIII portrait won't be available until 2023. Now, thinking whether the upcoming launch of 2023 Britannia will also with KCIII obverse.

I would like to learn, in case if i discover the Scotch Tape proof coin earlier (due to capsule unable to screw) n have picture proof n the auction catalogue didn't mention it, is it possible to refuse acceptance of the auction items? -

Bruce replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
After several emails in past week, they finally despatch my items today... I just encountered an unhappy experience with LCA. For somehow reason, i didn't open the items from Jun auction until the past week. I found the proof coin capsule is wrapped with Scotch tape. I asked Semra what's the reason behind since it's not mentioned in catalogue. She said it must be damaged during shipment. However, the outer packaging of the package was all good, and it's the capsule inside the Royal Mint case wrapped with tape, so I doubt it's made during the postage. Since the postage is already received few months ago, I think I can do nothing but to accept it. -
I'm sure that mark wasn't there before, syndrome

Actually, i don't know there is a 10-year benchmark for bronze/copper coins. Me too, once you notice any impecfection, you will always look at it😅. -
Sovereign Rarities Sale, Thoughts?
Bruce replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Unfortunately, slab seems the trend at auctions nowadays, though most of us don't like it...😓 -
Maybe sovereign? Although gold price is dropped over a year, but at a less extent than currency depreciation. In current era, i believe losing less n preserve buying power for the future maybe the winner, so even holding cash is not a bad idea, coz i have no wisdom to beat the market.

Thank you Ian for the detailed explanation and demonstration of 185"7". I only had 2 examples on hand, both are Type D, 1 OT and 1 PT, per my record. But i am unable to turn on my old PC to double confirm with pictures on hand, as it's broken down in past weeks. For those unrecorded, it's interesting, and will check the market from now on. Thanks again for your study and info. Thank you for the additional info regarding Long 7, i am still looking to have a decent example of Long 7. The forum is always a good place to learn 👍.

Missing her smile, missing her voice... respect her effort during the tough war when she was still a kid. Let's pray there won't be another war after end of that generation...RIP
