Coin prices continue to rise
PWA 1967 replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think its more likely the Large rose he overpaid for when he bought it , it has been for sale over two years. The same seller has recently added one on his website in fine grade for £100 and the more expensive one maybe he bought attributed and just gave it a go. Some copper pennies sellers have found not attributed and not paid much for them ,its therefore much easier to sell them cheaply. Dealers who buy quite a lot may just take a chance and pay a high price for something considered rare / scarce hoping to sell it and just make a bit ,it doesnt always work. -
A couple just back from NGC both really nice in hand , sellers pictures who i bought them off. 1891 MS65 RED 1894 MS65 RB.

NGC get plenty wrong ,some more so than others. The coin label has now been changed and the coin not mine ,imagine getting this back 😂

PWA 1967 replied to jelida's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

Help Request - Is this an rare 1881H Penny variant?
PWA 1967 replied to DarkSithLord's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It is Gouby Obverse M and Freeman Obverse 9. Richard who is a forum member has the really good website with pictures of the rare pennies you linked above ,maybe some of yours can be added 👍 -

PWA 1967 replied to DarkSithLord's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Maybe the confusion is looking at the Gouby reference rather than Freeman. Freeman 103 is Freeman OBV 9 which is 5 teeth between the R and the I of Victoria. Look forward to seeing your pictures of the rare mule ,infact any others that you are lucky enough to now own 👍 -

PWA 1967 replied to DarkSithLord's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No sorry ,it isnt ,maybe have a look at the website you have put a link for which explains why not. However the 1860 Mule have you got a picture of that one please ? -

One i have just got back from NGC MS65BN ,lovely tone for a scarce year in high grade. -
I know this has been touched on before but have tried to take it a bit further. 1937 2+B Proof Unrecorded. About two years ago i took a penny i had bought off ebay to Colin Cooke coins , as Neil was on the phone i showed it to another dealer who was there. I only mention this as that was when i could not understand why some fantastic collections did not have one. When he had i look he told me it was a laquered normal penny explained why and i threw it in the bin.The dealer when i explained what i thought it was told me not to look as there was no such thing and maybe i was wasting my time.I didnt question him and he shall remain nameless as maybe at the time he was right and other people dont look.I casually looked at the ones on ebay but didnt really hold out much hope untill finding another.After Sharing pictures with a couple of forum members and seeing it in hand , again it started to make me think and just put it away.Just after Neil Paisley was round at the flat and i passed it him asking what it was he then confirmed it was a proof 100%.I then needed for my own piece of mind to try and find find another.John Stevenson had one that he believed was right as he had taken it from a set and i purchased that also. As they are unrecorded the next step was for them to be confirmed as proofs not really for the grade but more the proof label.I sent them both to PCGS and both came back PR65. UIN 34013361 & 3403362 During the course of looking i have also seen PCGS 82203674 & NGC 2720722-095PR64. I have also months ago contacted the Royal Mint although i have had a couple of replies there verdict is pending....... Not a clue how many there are as feel most still in sets and dont think people bother as really a MICRO variety and dealers only occasionally will look at the reverse. Reverse B has the sea line at the top of a tooth and an easy indicator. Sorry if its a Boring thread but anybody who has a set or 1937 Proof Penny please take a quick look. Pete.

Penny Acquisition of the week
PWA 1967 replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Well done ,i assume you know what variety it is and yes daft American grading 😀 -
No thats exactly how it looks Mick ,as i mentioned if someone wants to buy them dipped because they think they look good ,thats entirely up to them. Just a shame maybe if they didnt know that when they come to sell them they dont get as much.
-
Thats the problem Jon ,they have done a good job BUT then hidden the cleaning by dipping it.
-
This is the farthing a couple of days before it was re-sold for a lot more 👎 1849 Queen Victoria Farthing | eBay I have no problem people buying them and selling for a profit its what makes the world go round ,however some people are buying them and altering the appearance solely to perhaps mislead people,it would not be so bad on the odd one maybe BUT there are loads of them.
-
Although advanced collectors may be able to tell if coins have been dipped watching some sell recently i am concerned new collectors dont know and paying to much. Collectors maybe buying them thinking they are ok and maybe buying others from the same sellers.That IMO is fine if they know what they are buying ,however the prices people are paying i dont believe they do. Begginers (or any collector for that matter ) IMO need to be able to tell what they are looking for as the sellers are not going to tell them they are dipping them. Anyone have any opinion on these ?
