This is interesting Worth looking out for, although the chances of coming across one are exceedingly remote, of course.

Glad it's high grade with full lustre. You wouldn't want to buy a crap one.

yet another superb musician from the sixties - seventies dies so sad

I tend to put most of my unwanted duplicates/areas that I no longer collect there. Generally I find that milled does quite well, but hammered does badly - which implies there are a few hammered bargains to be had there.

I seem to recall emailing them in. Spotty "dumping ground"quality, I have gotten some very nice pieces there over the years...

They only accept postal or room bids (possibly telephone bids too). Sadly their website is awful. Very slow and poorly organised. They could learn a lot from London Coins' site. I've had a look and they appear to be only showing one side of coins as you say.

It was done on my phone. It should have stated that I could see your images. No idea how it even came out that way.

U bought this quality halfpenny scott ? not like your usual buttons at all.

And I got this one of one of my favourite towns. Lots of lustre and proof-like fields, hard to photograph ... Edge: "PAYABLE AT DALLYS CHICHESTER X X X X "

New arrival. All sorts going on with this, Halfpenney and Payble errors, A over V or inverted A in Halfpenney. Plain edge. Seller's pics, my own pending Edit: My pics

2p coin after it has been in concentrated nitric acid for a few minutes. The flan has become very thin but the design is still mostly there.

That's a bargain and a half Dave! Even 20 years ago, my UNC-and-very-nearly-BU 1954 and 1959 halfcrowns cost me £4 apiece. I agree with you about "not worth spending the money" on absolutely perfect specimens of them. My general approach has been to try and upgrade to GEF to UNC where I can, but without breaking the bank. As I work backwards, I'm often finding that I'm dropping to EF (and for the 1905 halfcrown I'll probably stick with my own fine specimen) and that's OK with me. The only exception I make is that within a date run, I like to ensure I have at least one coin which is in UNC condition. In that way, if I ever go to type collecting I will have a good basis to start from. I think that's a good point. There are several reasons why I switched to type collecting, one of the main ones being that once I had some high grade examples with eye appeal I completely lost interest in looking at (even owning) the lower grade coins, and there was no way I was ever going to afford a high grade example of every date. Much happier striving for 1 cracking example from each series
