Hi Peter, I think I can help here. I too used to conclude my viewing by dabbing off with a cotton glove. Now I make doubly sure the coins are well out of the way before I start. Hope this helps.
-
even better👍🏽 that’s £229k in raw materials leaving £656k for design packaging and marketing and a ‘little’ profit. Sweet😋
-
£858k sold out almost overnight, not a bad little earner for the RM there, one can easily see their interest in producing these commemoratives.

Numistacker is CERTAINLY not bothering with humility control 😉
-
They are but they do have some quality items, I'll give them that. The photography is also very good.
-
If a rumour started circulating that the plastic adhesives used in slabs had the potential to contaminate its contents we might see the numismatic equivalent of the 1857 Indian rebellion. Shhhh🤫
-
Using military grade search engines I was able to find this photograph of Numistacker on the dark web. Look out for him at your next gathering.

He does seem pretentious to say the least. My objection to slabbing and TPGs has nothing to do with my wanting to deceive someone for personal gain. It's the other way around IMO. I'm sure they would assign grades to grandmothers if there was a market for it. "Mrs. Edna C. Dutton. b1931. XF45, cleaned, wrinkled, spotting, titanium hip"

They did indeed Peter, and there was me thinking I'd caught a glimpse of the Emperor with no clothes. We live and learn, it must be very expensive to polish dies these days😉

1/4 oz gold for +£1,600, did i read that correctly? Not my field of interest, seems like more of a bullion coin to me, i must be missing something🧐
-
So true, hope the price isn't astronomical

"Cast" your eyes over this ... £2,450 "No silly offers, serious buyers please"😂 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1658-Shilling-Oliver-Cromwell-1662-1816-Nice-Grade-Rare-Shilling-Coin/123679397647?hash=item1ccbddd70f:g:W8QAAOSwtM9cgOta

March LCA Catalogue now online
Diaconis replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I had a wise landlord from St Lucia and one of his favourite sayings was “ya gotta hit it or miss it”, he wasn’t a numismatist and neither was he referring to coins but it still resonates with me in the wider context 😉. -
Apt use of the middle English there👏🏼 😂
-
@Sword certainly is a beauty.
-
Very nice, i look forward to see his work
-
Going up a notch, King Edward VIII gave to his first mistress Freda Dudley
-
Looks great, i like it. 👍🏽 Logical to just replace the dial. I was thinking along the lines of those $20 gold coin watches where the whole watch movement is encased within the coin.
-
I hope he installed a movement 😂 Would like to see a photo of the inner gubbins if you get chance. Is the edge of the coin intact and movement mounted within or is the coin reduced to just the dial face? Mechanical or quartz?

1862 Halfpenny Die Letter C

Yes, the exact type, well spotted RCL35 Here's mine, it's still got a little luster around the periphery. -
1862 Halfpenny Die Letter C
Diaconis replied to loose54's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
This is very interesting, thanks Gary & RCL35 for your comments. Below is an un-barred 'A' example I recently purchased and it appears to be centred between the lighthouse and the inner rim and more of a larger letter 'type' A when compared to the smaller 'triangular' A on your example which is contiguous with the inner ring. Gary's example appears to almost touch the lighthouse if I'm not mistaken and it too seems more of a triangular 'A' in shape. -

Hi Garry, With regard to the ‘A’ variant, are all varieties unbarred? thanks Paul -

or as dangerous as playing russian roulette, but then again, 5 out of 6 scientists say russian roulette is safe.
