Has anyone heard of these people or actually used them or get the point of them ? Apparantly been around for 2 years , based in France and like most French companies appear to be very provincial in their approach. As evident by the fact that they still don’t have a website in English so are really limiting their business to French speaking numismatists which must limit their global reach somewhat I would suggest. Still, the octagonal slabs look groovy.

grading has never been consistent over time .:. it’s still done by humans and is therefore subjective .. even professional graders can’t agree .. send the same coin to 3 different TPG’s and it wont come back with an identical grade across all three. why are the same people on this site so bitter and twisted and hung up on dealers or anyone for that matter , making a profit .. as long as you’re happy with the coin or the product and with the price who cares what the seller is making or not making...no one is forcing you to buy. -

Waterbird Collection
Colin88 replied to oldcopper's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Overall and generally I dont think that the prices acheived were that crazy and certainly a few bargains to be had and the cheaper end .....Lot 27 the 1823 Halfcrown at £1600 hammer and Lot 62 the 1922 / 27 Penny at £1100 hammer were cheap coins I would say. -

I’d be happy with the 37 penny on its own without chasing the set .. Sov Rareties had the sixpence a while ago at £55k -

Although the 1808 penny is unique , the 1937 is an iconic piece whereas the 1808 is not .. so it will have more global appeal therefore I think the 37 will do much better. is anyone buying anything from the collection .. I rather like the Richard 3 Angel
