Thought i had purchased a half decent set of 1902-1910 halfcrowns until...
Paulus replied to declan03's topic in Beginners area
There is no way I would grade that 1904 HC as Fine from those pics, I think all the lettering should be visible for Fine? And it should be irrelevant how rare the coin is. Happy to be contradicted ... -

Yes, I don't think the 1905 you bought is fully fine either, but I don't think you did all that bad for the lot as a whole, it depends what grade you want as 'keepers' -

My latest Cinque Port (pronounced Sink Port apparently) Conder token, just Hastings needed to complete the main 5, arriving later this week but not as high a grade ... Question for other Conder token collectors on here - I use the following sellers to source my tokens, any others I should be looking at? ABC coins and tokens (David Stuart) Baldwins (of St James) John Newman (johnnyqc on eBay) Druids Revenge (eBay Seller) -

Very nice Michael! -
From the pics, GEF for me, a trace too much wear, allbeit slight, for AUNC imo - very clean in terms of rims and bag issues in the fields

My Hull token (it's D&H 21 I believe, as opposed to your D&H 20) - no flaw on the H -

A punt on this 1841 halfpenny, I'm grading GEF from the seller's pics, opinions welcome -
Sorry but to say with the QC at the RM, varieties at that level are going to be almost infinite - tried pre-decimal coins?

I have a bunch of English coins I would like professionally graded, for various reasons, and I do not want to use CGS / LCGS What are peoples' opinions on how US TPGs treat weak strikes vs wear, and mint wipes on 1902 matt proofs? Do they know what they are doing with these? Here's an example, VS what would this get from a US tpg? @VickySilver

I have this matt proof half crown which I will be selling at some point, notice the (relatively minor) Mint wipe
-
I believe so yes - I hope the coin looks a lot nicer in hand than those photos suggest!
-
The secondary market (eBay etc) is the way to go for most modern RM proof coins and sets (if you like that sort of thing!) Very few fetch a premium on what the RM originally charged, most go for much less

I love all this and know about Mary, I also advise Rob's caution when it comes to attributing an item!
-
What is the moneyer and mint?
-
You've come on in leaps and bounds in both your grading and purchasing decisions Mick imo, great to see

Oops, yes, good spot!

I have become quite interested in the Cinque Ports Confederation in terms of English social and military history. My partner lives in Folkestone and I am there a lot. Just started, a couple of the 5 main ports:

I'd be happy to help administrate and//or moderate, guess that's up to @Chris Perkins

Bit of a wipe on the shilling and sixpence though:

Fairly / totally(?) wipe-free

Very different grading of 1746 LIMA HC by (L)CGS
Paulus replied to Paulus's topic in TPG Discussions
Hence the discussion, why such a diversity? Such a common coin too! Happy with GEF for mine, but when coins clearly inferior grade-wise have a bigger or the same number then I question what is going on -

UNC with wear strikes me as an oxymoron, if the cap fits, wear it, you know who you are! -

Paulus replied to Paulus's topic in TPG Discussions
Seems to be at least a whole grade of difference for me, would certainly be disappointed to receive this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1746-AUNC-George-II-Silver-Lima-Halfcrown-CGS-70-MS60-MS61-/332292189986?hash=item4d5e286f22:g:TbsAAOSwDiBZMyFt -

Sorry I should have added that in my OP. The edge listing is crucial as you say. Mine is “PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL”. so a standard 44 I believe
