Date run of pennies, about 1903-1927

[mrbadexample 985]

Hi all,

My collection of pennies it a bit, err, awful, to be honest. Lots of them haven't been upgraded since I started my collection digging through the dealer's (s)crap boxes 30 or more years ago. Fine or less, most of them. 

I'm sure there must be plenty of you who have top grade specimens, so I might well be interested in your spares. I'd be looking for at least GVF-EF but not really much higher if I'm honest. I don't want to shell out for FDC when I'd be quite happy with EF to fill the hole.

So, as a start I'm looking for 03, 04, 05, 06, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 12H, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18H, 18KN, 19H, 19KN, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27.

I know most of you think condition is of paramount importance, but I'd rather have a half decent set of 30 than 6 top notch coins. Each to their own, I guess. I simply can't be arsed to trawl through ebay for the VERY RARE UNC dogs I see so many of, so thought it might be sensible to ask here.

I also realise I've not been on the forum long and trust takes time to build, but will appreciate any help I can get.

So, what have you got nice eh?

Cheers,

MBE

PM sent RE the 1912h, if you are also interested I have a 1918KN for sale too. You are welcome to make an offer, the BIN is a little high but put down what you'd be happy to pay, you might be surprised.

I could let you have a 1927 UNC with some residual lustre - it's got a carbon spot on the obverse, but apart from that it's perfect.

That's kind, thank you. I could let you give it to me.  

Seriously though, the price would have to be pretty keen as UNC is probably a bit better than I'd be looking for in that date. 

[mrbadexample 985]

Err...a quick question on etiquette if I may...should one's haggling be done off the general forum?

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Just send a personal message to them.

I have most you may be looking for but high grades ,dont want to sell you ones and haggle though

I don't seem to be able to edit my original post (is there a time limit on that or something?) so updated requirements above.

Could you let me know what you have available and what you would want for them please? Then I could take a look and have a think about it? I don't mind not haggling if your prices are firm. Although I might still try. 

[mrbadexample 985]

Oh, and the Spink guide I have is 2005 and I'm still using it. Nothing's changed, right?

10 minutes editing time for newer members, it increases once you become part of the 'Numismatic Research Group'.

That sounds like I have to do homework.

[Nordle11 564]

Haha, yep you need to submit at least one white paper on a coin subject of your choice

Its just an automatic group name for anyone with 200 posts or over, your edit time increases with it.

Thanks to everyone who's helped so far.

What's your 1911 like, get some pics up!  

[mrbadexample 985]

I will once Pete's got his hide round to the Post Office. 

[Nordle11 564]

If it's one of Pete's I'm sure it'll be a nice one, slabbed or raw?

[mrbadexample 985]

Raw. Slabbed coins won't fit in my trays.

[Nordle11 564]

Same, it's a pain in the arse! Best solution I find is a tea towel and a twist
