And the reverse.

Just a few more threepences and a couple of sixpences added to the collection for today.

Nothing like as interesting, but nicely toned!

I notice he gives 'cash on collection' option. Let's hope someone opts for this and gives him a bloody nose when they realise he's a scammer!

Just a few Threepence upgrades for today.

KH4 pattern halfpenny, P-.

It's the most obvious clincher on an ME. Instantly visible to the naked eye.

Precisely the point I raised in the other recent thread about Michael & Rendell. Their photography is dreadful. As I said at the time, I can do better than that just using my tablet under a bog standard incandescent bulb. They have a huge stock of coins, yet still cannot get this basic skill under their belts.

Hi thanks for the comments. That sounds like a bargain to me. All the later sixpences from 1937 to 1967 I had completed some months ago the only ones I did not have in UNC was the 1941 and the 1952 although the 52 is not quite UNC it was sold to me as AUNC / UNC and feel that was about right. Now the cost was rather more than I wanted to pay. I bit the bullet and shelled out £65 for it. Some may say I have payed too much but I am happy with it and at least I will not have to keep hunting for it now. My net aim is to work back from 1930 to 1900 to fill the gaps I still need to fill on the sixpence collection.

I'm starting to think I should take you up on that offer of bucket-diving.

Yes. Came out of Baldwin's basement a few years ago. Actually, a bit more than a few by now.

I saw that. The commonwealth sixpence he flogged looked iffy , not right. He's definitely got at least one shill bidder working with him whose posting positive feedback. Either that or one very thick collector whose shelled out a grand on phoney coins.

i do have a soft spot for these, bearing in mind Ingram coins sold me one of these for £550 and i had a hell of a time getting any of my money back, so i don't think a £20 note for this inc postage is a bad deal, maybe he will give me £300 for it !!!! anyway it has a nice bit of cameo going on there
