    what else do you collect?

    i also have a decent collection of beermats, they can be had for free and it's interesting to see how many different ales i have drank in the last couple of years..............it's strange that i can still walk in a straight line.

    Phwoar!

    lovely coin but at that price it is just ridiculous for that price.......................... i bought a classic jaguar ss100 for £35,000 and it gives me far far more pleasure than any coin from woderwick would!!

    2 Pence 1797

    could be a result of the old habit of varnishing coins in the hope that the varnish would preserve them.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    how thick are some people, the casting bubbles on the obverse are as clear as a pint of stella.
  8. what do you want for the kn penny?
  9. sweden 2 ore, the three crowns on the obverse is the national emblem of the country.

    POLISHED COINS

    i have 1 polished coin in my collection of over 11,000 it is a chile 1860 1 centavo and until i find a better example i will keep it. as for the rest they have never seen a duster and some have only been dipped in acetone to remove dirt.
  13. i had a punt at this one, when it got to £1200 i decided not to go any further because i couldn't see the coin first before buying and the description put me off going higher...........

    VF Double florin for £145!

    i gather it isn't just me who is sick and tired of these ridiculous "offers" from the mint, i get emails almost daily asking if i would like this bit of tat or that bit of tat. unless it is a genuine collectable offer i tend to put them straight into the bin. and yes i bought all the olympic coins for my grandson but any others no thanks!!!
  16. found this on an american web site, a really beautiful coin ruined by the severe toning, not to mention the slab............
  17. was in wh smiths yeasterday and the girl behind the check out told me that the sale of the carded 50p coins has been very slow.

    Should i sell my collection

    Send me the few quarters that you need, to finish the book out (5-6 as I recall), and I will see if I can pick them up for you. which states do you want? i have a few spares.......
  19. our friends in shangai are quite adept at producing top quality counterfeits.

    How do you grade your british coins

    i use the book "grading british coins" and my own experience and expertise.

    Copies of coins

    i hold my hands up and admit i have bought a forgery thinking it was genuine. it was an american trade dollar dated 1872 and looked to be legit and my little knowledge of usa coins made me a little naive, i only found out it was fake after i asked my american friend and he told me the coins were only minted from 1873. i may be absolutely shit hot on uk coins but the usa coins still leave me a little confused.

    clean up

    i've been using acetone for years after an american friend recommended it, i have used it on most types of coins including copper. it has removed the dirt but not the patina, i had one coin from sweden which had a black tar type substance on one part of the edge, as soon as it went in the acetone the substance dissolved without harming the coin.

    slabs

    our friends across the pond relentlessly slab almost every coin they come into contact with, personally i think that slabs are abhorrent.......................what's your opinion??
  24. moneyer12

    clean up

    to clean gunk from a coin dip it in acetone, then rinse under clean water, this removes most of the crap, if that fails try an orbital sander, and duraglit (only joking)
