I've got one - a Cromwell shilling. Not a bad copy, but obviously not 'right' if you know what I mean.

A modern repro I'm afraid. The clue is in the curved indentation on the upper right quadrant of the reverse. Can't remember whose makers mark that is of the top of my head.

Still no confirmation for me, but my bids have definitely taken.

Got round to adding the picture to my site, here it is in a better light. Didn't see that post Dave, lovely jubbly

The question remains though, who assigns the value? This is a conflict of interests because remuneration is tied to a value assigned by the recipient of your money. If slabbing has to be done, and I have no reason to deny them the right to offer a service, then it should be a flat fee service. The time taken to grade a £10 coin should be no more or less than that required to do a £10K coin - if the job is done properly. By all means charge higher shipping due to the insurance, but if you are paying more to have a high value coin graded it tells me that either someone is skimping somewhere or alternatively, someone is being ripped off for the time actually taken.

Geezus, asking £30 a submission and taking up to 3 months to get it back is bad enough, now another £99 for membership for the lovely customer service from Serma is just a joke. I think it could be a nail in the coffin right there. Let's see how many submissions they'll lose if they ask the same fee from people who are already members. There is ABSOLUTEY no benefit of paying a yearly subscription, at least with PCGS you get 4 free submission for your $149 membership and a turnaround of about 3 weeks
