    Mrs is sometimes working at charity shop, and she told me she received some new £1, so i agree with Paddy, it's not too scarce.
  2. Bruce
    Here you go! https://auctions.sovr.co.uk/index.php?option=com_timed_auction&auction_id=29&gridtype=listview

    They stopped using easylive years already, so there is no upcoming LCA sales you can find in the portal
  4. Bruce
    yes, years ago, you can bid through easyliveauction for LCA.
  5. Bruce
    Agree, need to be very careful about description and their grading when going through LCA auction.

    Oh....since i used to be outbidded at Noonans, i didn't pay too much attention to the auction. But i had a brief look that lot before and thought if the 44 penny was cleaned...not noticed the DFF😪

    the bubble near SH"I"LLING is another hint of possibly counterfeit. Deliberately doing an imperfect toned coin making it harder to spot a fake coin.
  8. Bruce
    Congratulation Paddy, it's a very very good find, I wish I can find the same in auction or elsewhere at a fair price too. By comparing your pictures with those in link provided and also discussion in another forum and taking into account toning and minor rim nick, I think it's likely a geniue one.
  9. Bruce
    Sorry, only read the message now, and yes Rob explained the obverse 2.
  10. Bruce
    Agree to all, 1859. Obverse 2, with 2nd I in BRITANNIAR to gap.
  11. Bruce
    An example of excellent Google translate 😂

    I would say go also cos once it is in your mind about upgrade, you will always think about it until it's upgraded. Take time to search for a similar tone and reasonably priced ones.

    On the other hand, for 1887 Sixpence, JEB on Truncation is the one that keeps an eye on.

    Similar situation to me also in last 2 years, more medals than coins, but not many purchases were made in view of strong coin and also medal prices.
  16. Bruce
    agree, especially they are going to have more profit through higher hammered price if decent photos are provided. I believe most of the potential buyers will stay away from these no pic lots or just place a much more prudence bids.
  17. Bruce
    yes, it's used to no image forever. Maybe you can try requesting pictures from Spink, and there is a chance they will provide you an image through email.
  18. Bruce
    Merry Christmas to you all, and wish you all have a happy and healthy new year!
  19. Bruce
    An additional proof...if you try searching the archive sales in their site and nothing is showed up, then it's not sold.
  20. Bruce
    Medal catalogue is online now. Some superb and rare examples, and in overall the estimates are very strong for all medals especially those more common ones.
  21. Bruce
    If you are in UK, better to invest in sovereign or britannia or other uk bullion, in view of taxation concern. For the pricing, the lower premium is always a better choice, however if go for private sales or dealer, have to ensure those are not counterfeit ones.
  22. Bruce
    Apart from whether it's legit, that way to do business is definitely an off to me. No one know what will be happened after payment. By the way, the toning of reverse is a bit odd to me.
  23. Bruce
    I love Gothic Florin, however those high quality ones are very pricey. In addition, I love to find varieties of Victorian Florin, especially those Jubilee and Old Head.
  24. Bruce
    The Jubilee head is more obvious. if compare Gothic Florin with Jubilee ones, the Gothic is usually less reflective or bright in obverse field.
  25. Bruce
    Same here, Florin and Shilling are also with reflective field.
