Charles I Crowns Civil War mints in Fine or better problem-free
That's an example of the grade I am after, but, as with all hammered, they are all different - anything out there?

Has anyone else been watching the new season/series of this BBC 2 comedy?
In last night's episode, 2 references were made to a 'copper penny', although I don't think such a coin would have been circulating in England at the time (Elizabeth I to James I) - is that right?

1 hour ago, mrbadexample said:Was that the regular or inverted 1? I had my eye on those, amongst many other things. Most of the lots I had my eye on went far too high for me but I picked up a couple.
I was after the regular variety, looked choice to me and I do not yet have a keeper Arabic 1 of the series. I have little interest in 'varieties' such as the so-called inverted 1

1 hour ago, UPINSMOKE said:I did the same for the first time yesterday. I bid £140 +1 which allow them to bid one more bid to £150 if needs be. And like you got it for the higher amount.
The estimate was £130 - £150 . As it is the first time I have used this I am not sure how it works. Maybe next time I will bid live.
What did you win Mick? I was going for a very nice 1888 DF and wondered if I was bidding against you, but I believe you have a keeper already ...

Out of interest, does anyone know if the graders at the big dealers and auction houses stay relatively unchanged for a number of years, and whether they are well-known and respected in the industry? Is Neil now grading for Baldwins as he used to for Colin Cooke? The only grader I know personally is the chief grader at London Coins ...

I now use a totally free web hosting option (Wordpress) to store my coin pics (see link below) ... 3 gb upload limit
All I need to do to post pics in here is to right-click on the image in Wordpress, select Copy Image, then Ctrl+V into here

Just now, Sword said:I would imagine that weight has historically been more important than diameter when it comes to coins?
It was when the value of the metal content was equivalent to the FV of the coin, but I don't believe that was the case come 1935? Much more work involved in changing the size of the coin (I would have thought!)
Finding this a little surprising I must say!
-
Just now, Sword said:Sterling silver and 0.5 silver don't have the same density (0.5 silver is less dense). Assuming they have the same weight, then the diameter and /or thickness must be different.
I remember trying to put a currency 1935 crown into a proof crown box and it didn't fit. The hole was too small for the currency crown.
Hense my surprise ... that would explain it, although I am surprised they varied the diameter instead of the weight!!!

50 minutes ago, Gary D said:The only non destructive way I know of but still takes care is to ring them, easier to tell if you have one of each. I have both a 1935 raised edge proof (sterling silver) and 1935 proof (0.500 silver). If you carefully balance one and tap with a pencil the 0.95 silver has a lower tone.
I am surprised they are exactly the same weight?

Simon Willis often has some great coins for sale, but in all honesty the TPG grading of this one seems like a joke!

Fabulous coin Rob! Ignoring the rarity of the mm over-strikes, just a gorgeous coin, about time I concentrated on Tudor silver again

Obviously if you see anything that takes your fancy I can save you some Pennies if you deal direct. The sellers fees are 10% so that's the very least you'd save.
Thanks John, I'll take a look

- Bill McKivor (The Copper Corner; no pictures but issues a quarterly list of offerings; planning to retire soon)
- Dr. Gary Sriro (garysriro on eBay; sporadic offerings on eBay; known for likely the most complete collection of Conder varieties ever collected )
- Heritage auctions (occasional large collections; otherwise sporadic smaller groupings)
- Gary Groll (I have never purchased anything from him, because I find his asking prices to be mostly absurd)
- James Ricks at Atlas Numismatics (often aggressive pricing, but the occasional "deal" can be found)
- Ernie Latter (cwtguy on eBay; usually has a few for sale in true auctions; some BIN also)
- Stephen Oatway (Based in Canada; britannianumismatics on eBay; usually has a few Conders in stock)

Thanks Brandan!

7 minutes ago, mrbadexample said:Derek's a bit more forgiving in his book though:
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)

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
