29 minutes ago, TomGoodheart said:Tim Owen is still dealing. I messaged him the other day and he said he largely sells to other dealers at coin fairs. So he may have sold to Steve Hill who then passed it on to CC, but hard to tell if there are no clues on the tickets.
Tim's tickets seem to come up fairly frequently and generally on decent pieces. Again, Rob is likely to know how long he's been dealing. More than 20 years at least, surely.
Oh, and Gary has updated the article. This (I believe) is the latest (#11) Additional Coin Tickets Version 11Superb, many thanks again, and great re the updated document
I think you’d be right about the supply scenario…I believe Tim’s name comes up as provenance, presumably on the back of SH’s ticket?

Also, a useful document, that I’m sure you’ve all seen before, so forgive me, I’m simply sharing it here to log it for myself

Ahh, just bumped into a little issue with the attached document…it isn’t all of the entrants that have dates!
Any thoughts on where Owen sits in the timeframe?
-
Thanks, Rob. I guess it doesn’t add very much to the coin, historically speaking, but it does at least say the coin’s been through a couple of hands who really should know better, if it’s a copy?

Not sure when he was at Baldwins and when he left. Rob might know?Many thanks, TG, much appreciated.

In connection with another post, what would you say the provenance and timescale of this one is?
And, unless it was lost, Chris C. hadn’t prepared a ticket himself?
-
With just the one possibility that this could indeed be the original from which the others are cast?
-
Interestingly I noticed another of these ‘plugged’ coins in the Comber sale, though I can’t imagine CC overlooked it himself? I wonder if he made any note of it on the ticket, I know St James’ never mentioned it in the description.
Anyhow, I’ve just noticed it’s made an appearance on eBay!
For the record, I’ve bought from this seller before and have found him completely above board, a genuine misunderstanding I think!
-
I don’t understand why, if all you have said about the poor-performing auction house is true, that you can’t just say who they are? Libel only applies if you are publishing lies, surely?

Guy Fornquerne? Dear god is the blaggard French, the scoundrel…step forth and give account of yourself before I run you through with my bow of yew!

Interestingly the name Richard also popped up when I was subscribing?

45 minutes ago, Paddy said:I see @The Coinery last visited in 2017, so even if they are related to the auction house, they are unlikely to notice the comments here!
I can barely believe it was that long ago I had to draw swords with an adversary! Wow, six years! I did fair take him in the joust and run him through with my sword!
May the vanquished return so I might bid him well and wish him great merriment throughout this Christmas season!
Compliments of the upcoming season to all!

Is that the same The Coinery from this forum?

Did it never cross your mind? Some people’s disposable annual income for numismatics exceeds my entire annual household income, gross!
I marvel at it all…just wish I’d been a premiership footballer for a year!

6 hours ago, Rob said:The BNJ drew a blank, so when I have time I'll have a quick look through the Circular Index to see if there's anything in vol.38, but all is currently stuck behind a 2 deep 2-3 foot stack of Leu, Baldwin's, St. James's and Glens catalogues!
Thanks, Rob…beyond the call…
I can’t imagine that amount of material will ever be amassed again, I hope it all stays together now you’ve put the legwork into acquiring it all!

WOW!

13 minutes ago, Rob said:It could be connected to the fourth variety discovery or an example from an image. I thought it might have been a reference to the Cloncreen Bog hoard of 60 Elizabethan coins found in Co. Offaly in 1968, but there wasn't an Anchor in there (latest was Key), so I'm not sure yet.
I guess the ink colour does suggest a connection with the variety?
Many thanks, Rob, always appreciate your insights. -

Another Comber ticket from a different coin. What do you think the references within the red oval means? Do you think the coin came from these sources, or is he just highlighting other examples he knows for comparison?
Sorry to labour this, but at the top of the ticket where it says ‘77 B win,’ do you think the Roman numerals represent the £38 he paid? I haven’t seen enough of his tickets to know whether he’s done that before? All the other ones I have are much simpler, with much less detail.
-
I’m guessing that all of Chris’ paperwork remains with his family, presumably having plenty of what we would call sensitive material connected with it, bank details, fees, charges, transfers, etc., quite likely too much for his family to go through and vet. Might even be easier to burn such stuff?
I’d however love to read the background information and footnotes accompanying a couple of the numbers I currently have.

2 minutes ago, Rob said:Must be references to other coins because the earlier one was two and a half times the price of the other. Things got reduced and relisted if they didn't sell, but not that much.
Thanks, Rob!
Does anyone ever end up with all the paperwork from collections like these? All those pencil numbers must correlate with some probably extensive written records?
-
17 minutes ago, Rob said:Those two refer to listings in the Bulletin. The first was in the Sept. 1949 issue, item 9356 priced at 45/-, the second was in Dec. 1951 at. 17/6d
Blimey, Rob, you actually have those bulletins? Truly phenomenal, and thank you so much for digging that out!
So, are these references to ‘other’ coins, or connected to the actual coin itself?
-
Question 2)
Another Comber ticket from a different coin. What do you think the references within the red oval means? Do you think the coin came from these sources, or is he just highlighting other examples he knows for comparison?
-
Another couple of questions:
1) Comber’s ticket behind…any idea what the reference indicates, as it might identify the other ticket, which is clearly linked by value?
Is it Baldwin?

Just finished reading this article, absolutely fascinating!
