Nonmortuus

I spoke with them last week looking to buy a few. They are not selling on the site unfortunately.

I'm interested in one @Paddy if you have one in there better than my current one which they certainly look to be!

I thought I would drop a post a list here, that I can amend, on the off chance any members have some of the coins listed below for sale and available for me to look at, preferably mid to high grade and toned: 1787 Shilling with Hearts 1723 Shilling 2nd Bust 1816 & 1817 Halfcrown 1820 Halfcrown 1823 & 1824 Halfcrown George II Young head Halfcrown R&P & R 1895 Halfcrown 1891 Halfcrown 1900 Halfcrown I am in no rush to buy but would be interested to see what, if any, of the above forum members have available. Thanks Non

Updated list: 1787 Shilling with Hearts 1723 Shilling 2nd Bust 1816 & 1817 Halfcrown 1820 Halfcrown 1823 & 1824 Halfcrown George II Young head Halfcrown R&P & R 1895 Halfcrown 1891 Halfcrown 1900 Halfcrown

I love German coins. I have very little knowledge on them but love the designs.

@azda do you ship the coins to the USA or to a UK address for both PCGS and NGC?

The database is working for me @Paulus.

I couldn't believe the prices for items that were fairly common and cleaned.... amazing what people were paying.

I got stung at a Spink auction as well @VickySilver. I bought a group of halfcrowns, including a 1925. It was partially my own fault as they did not show the obverse of the coins. Most were ok but the 1925 had a light X scratched on the bust. I took it as a lesson learned. It is a shame really as the 1925 is a very high grade, scratch aside. It is a shame so many of the DNW coins are cleaned but I am glad they have flagged it before the sale.

Welcome! The best bits of advice I was given when I started were: Buy the book before the coin. Read, read, read if you are serious about collecting. Buy the best grade you can afford of a particular coin. Finally if you buy coins graded by third parties (slabbed coins from LCGS, PCGS, NGC, ANACS to name the mains ones) buy the coin not the slab. That is to say dont let the grade on the plastic deterkine if you feel its a nice coin. Good luck and I hope you enjoy this great hobby!

I bid on a number of lots but I don't think I managed to get any of @Nicks collection

What are the NGC pictures like?

NGC posted about some fake 1928 SA Sovs a while back for people records: https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/5626/counterfeit-1928-south-africa-gold-soveriegn/

Site always runs fine for me Rob. I went to biy something the other day but it had sold by the time i went to checkout sonit seems to be working!!

No idea on the coin @AtlasNumismaticshowever I must say you have some cracking coins but generally find you way over priced on your British stuff, in the main, unfortunately for me!

No its still £99 to join but you get that back as a voucher to spe d at auction and on grading. Well worth it imo for access the the images and population info.

That was a cracking price for the 1920!

It wasnt a corroded hoard. They found 2 buckets worth of civil war coinage. I grabbed a couple of screenshots.

Not quiet ebay but facebook does chuck up the odd bargain. Less so now but 2 to 3 years back they did appear fairly often. This was one of my best buys off there via an auction.

I dont have a proof example yet unfortunately. I will one day though!

I have a few 1911s.

Here is my best example 1912 at the moment. CGS75
