of all the slabbed one's i have seen NGC seem to be the fairest, i have a couple of NGC's and would only buy coins graded by them

what slabbed ? have all the rest in the perspex block, i wont go out my way to get a slabbed one, i know crazy price for the 2016 peter rabbit, if i knew how well they would sell i would have bought more instead of the 2 i did at the time

do you have any proofs from any of the non standard proof set years ?

the 37 crown is .500 silver

thats nice, love that 35 crown, the design on the reverse looks very art deco if you get the lines and that on the dragon, defo on my wants list, wonder how far back we can go finding the frosted look,

could some of the appearance of frosting be due to toning on these coins, because i have another 37 with frosted bust and the mirrored fields have gone like your 27 ? ? nice coins btw, still have not got the 27 crown, cant justify the money when so many are on sale if you get what i mean

you might have seen this on the aquisition of the week thread, beautiful 1937 proof crown, i love it, have now worked out what i'm going to collect, has to be the early cameo looking proofs, did they have the cameo look on any George V ? i have 2 of these now, some proofs seem frosted and others dont,

Not something i normally buy although i have been collecting them, i think they are worth the money because they are packaged fantastically in the clear perspex box thing, anyway saw this come up on ebay and had a bit of a spur of the moment bid winning it for £71 inc postage, a little over face value, i spose the 68 grade knocked it a bit, to be honest i can't see anything with the naked eye and have had a good look. you would think something new and not touched by hand would get a 70 or could be the dies have gone a bit funny as the coin is numbered early 29,000's, anyway, for little over the £60 when bought form the mint and it came with box etc i think its not a bad deal,

you gotta admit though they are quality replicas, same standard as the mint easily

i've just bought an xp deus, no where near as deep as the explorer II which i've had for over 10 years now, doesnt seem to pick up the smaller bits as well if at all, but the dues is a sharp light machine to use

groat grabbing time ;0)

modern copy of summit i reckon, what coins were that thick ? i know the cobs were

they come out the thames in good nick

some real bargains going on the bay atm, picked up a beautiful; 1937 proof crown yesterday for peanuts

there's a book called linen towels and silver pennies, goes into some depth on telling them apart

was 10 pm as i was walking of the field last night in the Moonlight, love them last signal on the way back to the car hammy's, nice Sixpence of Elizabeth I, Mint mark is not clear, Went back this morning but no luck, there's always this evening though ;0)

i have a set from the 70's thats got a green covering on the silver's, not sure which year, think it was 77

this set is in a right state http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-Royal-Mint-Proof-6-Coin-Set-Including-EU-50p-Fifty-Pence-Coin-Ref04-/112412379449?hash=item1a2c4cc939:g:NrAAAOSw8lpZHrG2

looks bleeding awful, who would pay 46 k for 30 ox gold coin

looks to be london mint

a l;otof coins have become overpriced in my humble opinion, where others have hardly any resale value

the variation of tolerences of mass production are going to be epic with a billion of 2016 and 2017 each being produced ,

your looking around 1.1 ish g for late sexon pennies, henry III voided longcross around 1.3 g
