Spinks e-auction now online and a couple of their penny descriptions aren't brilliant either..... including a far better than usual 1854 No Colons, Bramah 17a.

Again unimpressed with Noonans penny descriptions:- Coins and Historical Medals (4 & 5 April 2023): Lot 499 | Noonans Mayfair

Looks like he's taken the trouble to type up a Certificate of Authenticity.... so it must be bona fide....or maybe he's just going to put it in that lovely box when the coin changes address (COA).

I was the under bidder, so won't find out for sure this time

Thanks Rob. It's a 1996 coin 99.9% gold (1000 minted) with bullion value approx $1600. Sounds like it should be zero vat then, do you agree?

Could anyone advise tax position if I were to win a gold coin in a USA auction please? I. E. Will import tax be payable, or is gold treated differently to my previous bronze / copper purchases? Thanks in advance

Hi Pete, I saw that one and was a little tempted but decided that, as I already have 2, I would give it a miss. You are right that it is a type that was seen more often 10 to 15 years ago than it is nowadays. I ought to do a count of the Bramah 26a's from my 5 year study period covering that period; hopefully will get round to it one day, but haven't done too much work on 1858's yet as just so many coins and loads of varieties!

Temperatures somewhat above the seasonal norm......

Weather is a bit of a shock to the system this week, especially after the amazing Summer we had! We've had cavity wall insulation installed, have a wood burning stove and solar panels, and a smart meter to guide us with fuel usage. We also had a 3 day break away this week (with heating just on a low setting), but still managed to clock up £80 for the last 7 days.......here in sunny Bournemouth. Anyone know where we went:- -
All very interesting..... but ebay's best offerings? 😁

I've seen about a dozen over the years, nearly all lower grader. Are you asking because I have one currently for sale on ebay?

Definitely not 8/6 Mike. 2nd 8 is over gap on 8/6, but over tooth on the Coopers coin. Also no flaw through C of VICTORIA. Reverse colons also completely different locations.
