Maybe he meant about Fair, instead of about Fine! LOL...

Sellers commission is usually based on the volume, or value of the coins being sold. I approached Heritage and London both with the same coins (about 50k), and Heritage charged 5%, while London wanted 10%. I went with Heritage.

You are right Mike, about the mint previously continuing to mint coins of the previous year, as long as the dies were serviceable. A good example is the 1869 Penny. Mintage is shown as 2,580,480, though far less were actually minted with the 1869 date...most were 1868. Gouby in his book estimated the actual mintage of the 1869's at either 600,000 or 800,000 (I forget the actual number, but was less than 1 million), which is why it is a scarce coin.

Good find Paddy!

I have bought and sold coins from TORCOINS. He has always been on the up and up, with me. He advertises a lot of rare coins also.

Richard, I have a F9, but I am not sure if I sent you a pic already or not.

It must be nice to have money to burn! A guitar heard on iconic Pink Floyd albums sold for a record $3.975 million at auction Thursday, and Jim Irsay is the instrument's new owner. The Indianapolis Colts owner picked up three items at the David Gilmour Guitar Collection auction at Christie's New York salesroom:...

What a bargain...and it is only 78.43 pounds for delivery!

Peter, The haggis didn't put me off, but after having it twice in Scotland, I have decided I don't want any more. The Scots Whisky is another matter completely though! Ha,Ha! I love the breakfast they put on in Britain though...good stuff. I don't have a trip planned at this time, but since my wife and I had such a good time visiting Scotland, England, and Wales the last time, it is on my radar for another trip sometime, preferably when a big coin expo is on! LOL...some things never change.

I noticed that after I made the post. Thanks B&C....

Here is a 2002 Jamaica 50 cent proof in box of issue. Don't know if that will help you or not! https://www.ebay.com/itm/JAMAICA-RARE-SILVER-PROOF-50-COIN-2002-YEAR-KM-184-MILLENNIUM-BOX-COA/323724747861?hash=item4b5f7fa455:g:mp0AAOSwEo5cgBd0

The 1857 "long" 7 is also struck with a triple 7 (CP1857FA)

You are welcome......

Now you got me wondering Pete...because that is the same coin, isn't it! I am 83 years old...what do you expect! LOL...

Richard, Pete, Here is the 1870 I sold in 2013.
