The Copthorne collection of pennies

Laurie Bamford told me several years ago that they were prone to doing this but yet I've won lots with less than my maximum so I'm not sure exactly how it works. It might be just possible that there were several postal bids that just happened to climax at your maximum bid and that's why they opened the bidding at that level. That would be genuine if a little coincidental. -

As a buyer, I much prefer this sort of auction as it allows me to take an overall view of the lots and bid accordingly whereas on a lot by lot basis in a normal auction, once a lot has gone you have no chance to go back and increase a bid when you realise that you could and should have bid higher. As a seller, like Matt says, I've no idea of the size of audience for Colin Cooke's sale but suspect it may be smaller than the big auction houses. -
My websites all use the Illustrator style - not chosen scientifically from a review of all styles - other styles may well be better but I just happened to choose this one as a total beginner and it was straightforward to use. You link the website through your "signature".

I'm sure it's gone to a very good home............ -
The Wordpress software that I've used to create my websites, including my collection, is straightforward and free. I maintain details of my collection on a Word document which is easy to maintain. See example page

Yes - Lot 84 photo is definitely rev H (Gouby j) small date. -
I've been talking out of my rear end again - the Max Brehm mule was sold by Spink as part of the Trevor Legge collection in December 2014, not the Andy Scott collection in September 2015. Are we talking about 2 different coins ?

I'm sure that unsold coins will still have the buyer's premium added. -
Prax, I'm attaching the excerpt from the Numismatic Circular of 1986 (before anyone knew that it was a pattern obverse with 122 beads) regarding the Max Brehm/M Gouby/A Scott coin. The article doesn't refer to it as a proof - it was Michael that described it as a matt proof. Richard

Does anyone know who bought that Andy Scott mule ? They might not realise that they now own the only other known 1953 penny with pattern C* obverse (I own and discovered the first)
-
Sorry, they were catalogued as F129 Proofs - my mistake. BUT, Gouby erroneously describes F129 as obverse R +reverse r (Freeman 12+N) on page VP19 whereas Freeman describes F129 as S+r (13+N). The coins in the Roland Harris sale (lots 767 & 768) are both clearly obverse S (Freeman 13) so they could be F129 but that might be why Gouby thought that they were F128 (S+r).
-
Right, I believe that Michael is saying on page RH3 that Lots 767 and 768 (both listed in the catalogue as F130 proofs) are, in his opinion, actually both F128 currency coins, defined on page VP19 as BP1889C. Lot 769 is catalogued as F127 (BP1889A) and Lot 770 is catalogued as F128 (BP1889C).

Sorry, £920 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That one sold for £327 at LCA in March 2009 - and now they want at least £690 for it !!!!
-
From above "Gouby disagrees that two of his three 1889 proofs, were in fact proofs - not sure whether 129's or not, as Gouby has his own unique method of classification, and no Freeman equivalent is given on those pages. " Gouby always shows the Freeman number if appropriate in his books - page VP19 of his Victorian Penny book lists both BP1889P/F127A (specimen) and BP1889R/F129 (proof).
