Has anyone used these ? I've heard horror stories about how long it takes for a turnaround. I want my Gold Coast 1 Ackey authenticating but PCGS & NGC are going to rediculously expensive by the time I ship to their offices it's about £70 for that alone !

Durham Conders. Specifically South Shields. Cash or swap see inside

Hi, im from South Shields, which is why I'm looking for tokens from here and also Durham. heres what I have available to swap if need be -
Hi, im looking to change to a 1933 date as its my late grandfather's birth year. As part of a deal I could include my 1928 example:

I've been considering which one to send my Gold Coast ackey too.. Based on this I may go for NGC. Of the day 10 slabs I have 8 are NGC, 2 PCGS. Has anyone found a decent way to post to PCGS it was more to post there than it was to have it graded ! Normally I like my coins raw but at the end of the day certain coins it is nice to have the slab to back it. Especially for resale confidence.

Not for the Bargain Hunters: Atlas Numismatics

They have some of the best selection of coins I want there but their prices aren't quite for me 90% of the time. They have a South Shields halfpenny which doesn't really seem to be in any better of a grade than my own which is NGC MS63 RB which I would love but at the same time physically couldn't drop that much cash on that ! -

Grading conder tokens, help ?
Mark240590 posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hi guys I'm just wondering if there's any set rules in grading these as they weren't always struck with healthy dies.. this is is the coin which has prompted the question. I really want to have as near to great as I can I now have four of them 2 without the die cracks but are VF at best 1 VG/F and this which I would say EF. -

Mark240590 replied to Mark240590's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That is the way I would have take it to be, but another forum people seemed to suggest by the polishing being missing detail it could contribute to a lower grade. I know I would love one with the full details in this grade too though -
That's even worse I registered a long time ago so can log in free I guess ! They're getting a little too big headed then and that's a shame as something like this had the chance to really work out here as long as they Kept the fees low and the turnaround time a little better.

I never use the Sheldon scale and have about 6 slabbed coins. The other 2000+ are in flips ha ! generally I would put it at VF but it's just the authentification I want really. Again I know sometimes they get it wrong by then there's a guarantee from them and it makes it easier to sell in the future

1797 oval countermark Bank of England genuine ?
Mark240590 posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hi fellas I've picked this up but im not too sure on it. What do you guys think ? Normally it's rare to come across Spanish coins when you collect the British colonial coins so even these are out of my remit somewhat. -
I'm not paying £500 like PCGS it will be, even though I'm not a slab fan.. Some coins just have to be in one for peace of mind etc.. I know they're by no means perfect but the mind can be at ease.

Where is the link for this ? All I can see is that £499 membership !
-
I've also just checked the site for the first time in a very long time and if you don't sign up to a £499 "elite" membership you cannot ship & deal direct with CGS. You may be able to find an agent to help you but when you follow the link there aren't any.. Great.

Sounds a little farcical to say the least !

Mark240590 replied to Mark240590's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Here's the edge. The weight is pretty close to be fair it's about .04g less than my overstrike dollar.. The edge doesn't look so bad either. I thought the c/m looked iffy so took a chance at least I can return it -

Without a doubt my favourite is the 1794 South Shields halfpenny. For no other reason than its my home town ! -
I've decided it's time to buy an upgrade, I have a 2008 issue ha ! It's not so much of a problem since I only really collect colonial coinage and any British stuff I collect is already very well documented. When do the new coins of the United Kingdom catalogues come out ? thanks, Mark.

Aye, there's been times I've slightly over paid to get something I've chased a while. Then there's always the other side of the coin where you pick them up for a fraction of what you were rolling to pay ! -

I take it since only the 2014 edition is available on iBooks that the 2016 issue won't be on this platform atall. Does anyone know if it will be ? -

I'm not a moron. I'm more than aware of what eBay is like ? I I don't collect data from the completed auctions, I look back, check the prices work out roughly what people are paying per grade and make a judgement based on that. It's never steered me wrong I just like to have a fairly up to date reference guide. -

Without doubt mate, I always check using completed listings on eBay and at the auction houses to work out the current market value. -

I wonder if Chris's book will read ok on iPhone & iPad that would be great. Does anyone have any experience with it on said devices ?
