[NGC conservation problems]

Using laser to clean coins !!! | cleaning coins in few seconds with this new technology. - YouTube

Makes me wonder if they use this on some they clean / conserve to get rid of the crap and leave an even colour ,even though they are removing the top layer.

I have seen a couple recently that have come back much worse than they were sent for conservation and is daft that they reject them for being cleaned BUT think its ok if they do it.

Yes its an 1865/3 ,just not very clear on the picture.

The coin was mine and the Satin type of which there are four was confirmed by John Jerrams for me a few years ago.

Hey there pwa did you find any other FS lists ? I think it might be fair to say they are quite scarce on the ground now .

Yes ,only a few which is all i wanted.

An ebay seller used pictures of one to desribe a coin ,so sent him a message asking if i bought the coin (which i didnt want) could i have the list please 😀

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

Its good not having a collection anymore as i can buy plenty if they are nice 😀

A common year but not in this grade.

 

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

A new one 1858 Large rose.

NGC MS62 not attributed and although not the best i have had still a decent one.

 

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

No ,its just a mark and nothing raised or another dot there , i can see what you mean though.

Sometimes on a picture we can see things (Dots) that we want to be there but are not and just dirt , toning spot , carbon spot ,damage or general marks.

Almost as if we want it to be something that often is not and by keep looking convince ourself it is.

Well spotted though 👍

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

This is the coin in Baldwin you mention Peter and has been CLEANED however the SMALL date and much scacer.

 

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

A couple of DOT pennies ,seems lots of interest in these now ,probably penny collectors who have everything else.

1861 F26 which i havent seen another one and 1875 BP1875Cd.

 

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

A couple i bought at the weekend.

1929 Missing waves and rocks ,clear nice example and hadnt seen one for the year before.

1858 Large rose ,not the best although have seen worse and only £10 not attributed.

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

F7 although listed as F6.

 

[More Pennies]

Well done Jerry and thankyou for being able to confirm what i originally thought but from the photos could not be sure ,even the owner of the coin having a second look wasnt aware 😀

[More Pennies]

I wasnt sure ,so as it was in an auction sent the link to someone i know.

They asked the seller as it was started at about £280 who replied it was a F114 but NOT a 2 over 1 ,so unless the seller did not look closely enough it wasnt one and just a mark showing on the picture.

[TICKET CENTRAL]

Just seen this on another group and thought it may be of some interest.

Unfortunately its not Guy who runs thecoinery. He's also now collaborating with numistacker, he likes to get his fingers in as many pies as possible

I dont understand what your on about Dave ,whats that got to do with Numistacker ?

Guy Fie is The coinery and if he chooses to have his wife as a director thats his business and does not need putting on a public forum.

I can't remember. I have an idea it was posted on the Forum several years ago but I can't remember by whom.

Prax or his mate Gary put the picture on from memory ,although dont think it was theres and just a picture.

Be nice to know its genuine and not an edited picture and that it really does exist.

Just seen it on the rarest pennies site. Definitely worth the £4500 that it sold for.

Yes i spent 10 minutes deciding if i should buy it myself and it was only that it was in Australia and was going off a picture i decided not to 😀

If it had been slabbed as ok then it would of definately gone higher or atleast more interested bidders before the auction went live ,not just attracting more interest in the US but here also.

A couple of people i know were both concerned about the condition of the coin looking at the picture and took that into consideration before the auction went live ,maybe the coin had been slabbed.

Hopefully the coin went to a collector who hasnt got one though ,like jerry with the F90 (Hat off) rather than the same people / person possibly bidding the price up or buying others.

 

 

Having had a message i maybe didnt explain mine and others thoughts very well ,what i meant is the coin may of been slabbed but broken out as details and not that it was for sale slabbed in the auction.

Obviously a maybe and have no evidence to back that up and just a thought ,however the coin did not IMO look in the best condition and unsual not just in this auction (were most of the others were slabbed ) but when a seller knows what they have in America to not put the coin in a slab to confirm its condition ,not just grade.

This coin has been backwards and forwards too and from America enough hopefully.

It originally sold in the Workman sale ,then was in Baldwin St.James  Paul Hayward sale (unsold £200-300 estimate) ,now back to the uk.

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

A really nice MS64 RED 1913 F176 from Spink on Wednesday ,not attributed.

Interesting that the coin has sold now at least twice by two major auction houses and owned by different vendors ,however nobody has looked to see what type it is.

 

[DNW changing names.....?]

Its probably more likely to be changes behind the scenes and shares (ownership) that have made changes for the start of a new tax year.

Not uncommon for businesses to change directors , name etc. in March / april.

[1981 10 Pence Uncirculated, How Rare or Common?]

OMG. How many coins in it?

 

Well, sort of... if I'm right, that's the standard obverse used in most years. However, most? of the 1970 proofs use the scarce obverse from 1956 and 1968 where I of DEI is to a space and the rim is wider

Yes ,its an obverse that has been used before but a lot scarcer and harder to find on the 1970 proof half penny.

I bought 20 of the 10p as although the dealer had a bag he opened it to sell them individually.When he told me he still had them all and i bought mine i messaged a few people who bought the others.
