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

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

5 hours ago, VickySilver said:Richard - his cleaning appears on the photos at least as rub, and with an abrasive cloth or some such. Spink had a sale about 4 years ago where many if not most of the coins were cleaned similarly BUT NOT MENTIONED! I purchased a few that I regret but not at high prices....
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!

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.
