Yeah world of difference imo

That's extremely ugly, esp for a proof. Horrid toning, weak strike, just bad eye appeal.

Thanks for this additional context.

Yeah, tho i didn't know if that applied to proofs, or just currency. Chris added this tidbit: "Ah right, it's S-3836/ESC-2501 so nothing even rarer like the grain-edged proof"

I have a friend who recently picked up an 1831 proof sixpence, and has found conflicting mintage figures. "I've been trying to pin down the mintage for a while, though. Official numbers are apparently 120 but heritage says 400." I'm seeing for them if anyone might have some insight into this. Thanks.

I did obtain a copy, thank you. If anyone else has a copy available, a friend from The Coin Discord server is interested in a copy.

NGC moments. Thanks guys.

Very nice, PWA.

What is tb/bb, please?

I just came across this auction via numisbids alerts yesterday. I'm pretty floored by the quality, and this is only part 1, no less. I was commenting elsewhere that the estimates felt about half what i'd expect, at least for lots I'm semi-familiar with.

Alas I don't have a dbl sov

Nice example, wish I could find one so nice on offer. Welcome to the forum.

If Michael doesn't have any remaining, I will take you up on this for sure. Thank you.

Thank you. If he does, I'll still need someone from over there to relay it to me, as Michael stopped shipping to US and Canada several years ago. If he has copies, i'd appreciate any volunteers to act as a middleman to reship to me. Thanks.

Hi I am very keen on obtaining Michael Gouby's combined book on pennies: * The British Bronze Penny 1860 - 1901 (book) joint 1st & 2nd edition combined book, (or the two parts). My preference is the version in binder, but I'm not in a position to be choosy, the bound version would be great. Gouby's original sales page for the book. http://www.michael-coins.co.uk/Vic Bronze 1d.htm I am located in USA, for what it's worth, regarding shipping and payment. I could pay via paypal, one of the easier transatlantic payment methods, or we could try to work out some other method. Alternately, if you know of a seller with a copy for sale, please private message me the details. I have looked at Galata, Douglas Saville, and other places, from time to time, but no luck. Thanks for the consideration, Jonathan
