Just out of interest, what grade was given by CGS. I always like to have a guess at these things. 78? 

The tone and lack of contact marks make the coin very appealing. 

Hi Sword, its a CGS 80. I must say it looks much much better in hand.

I had a couple of bids on items today .Entered through easybid . Have no idea whether they have won or lost . Is there anywhere that shows what lots have went for ?

 

Results are normally up by Monday/Tuesday with invoices issued soon after.

It is usually around 6 to 8 weeks start to finish. I believe they are looked at by more than one person before finalising the grade.

That's not good. Makes some coins that were just in reach unattainable now.

[Bags of Roman]

I recently started to buy some Roman bit and bobs. This is my favourite so far:

Marcus Aurelius silver Denarius, Mars on Rev

If you want to buy qaulity coins then yes it's worth the drive. A few of the dealers also have trays with £1 to £2 type coins available. It depends on what your after and the budget you have in play.

Are you sure its wear and not just the toning? Ear and tash look ok but I'm on my phone not my PC.

[Pennies High grade.]

Hi Pete, received thank you. Really appreciate you sending this over.

[Pennies High grade.]

Yes please Pete.

Vicky, I got caught out in the same Spink sale to a degree, bought a lot of halfcrowns, some were great, some where not in hand. No issues were mentioned on the description but I should have asked to see the Obverse side of the coins as only the Revs were showing in the auction guide. Over all happy with the purchase but the one coin I really wanted had issues which meant the price paid was OTT. Lesson learned.

I ended up getting the 1874 shilling after looking at the one in my collection that was not nice enough. I also got the 1874 Halfcrown, but it may have hairlines that are not obvious on internet site - so it went cheap...

The halfcrown looks nice Vicky!

Ah ok thanks!

Anyone know when the results are likely to be posted?
