The last one I won at LCA was an 1806 gilt proof penny. I bid £800 and got it for £800 - surprisingly enough ! Sarcasm aside though, I still think it was a bargain, as FDC and there was another FDC example on offer by a dealer for over £2, 250. Same KP No.

yes, actually it will make us becoming more prudent in submitting bids indeed.

Sept catalogue now online if interested.

Not the first that has happened I know. 5 out of 6 lots that i won at one LCA auction were at my max bid. Nice coins though. I just take a percentage off my bids now and funnily enough, i don't win so many, so who knows.

Their approach keeps their costs down and they control the bidding. What's not to like from their point of view? Except that more and more people are questioning their approach and the quality of what's on offer declines. I suspect Steve Locket and Semra will eventually get the message. As it stands you either tell them what you are prepared to bid or let them know that you want to bid on an item by phone. As a regular bidder with them for many years I wont be going back until they have open and transparent bidding.

So, looking at this coin and its been graded by NGC as MS but I think it's a proof, I have a ballpark Peck number of 1242 KH22. Can someone clarify if I'm right or wrong please. K on the drapery and dot to the right, 6 jewels in the broach. Rev has 3 dots raised to the right of the rock, shield has a thin raised rim and what looks like 14 leaves on the olive branch.

And could be the ANNA SLABBA INCOMPETENS legend variety.
