If that is what you have Nathan then the scrap value would be calculated as follows: Assumptions: All 12 coins are Sterling Silver (92.5%)Silver price as at 19/09/2013 is $23.11 per troy ounce£/$ rate as at 19/09/2013 is 1.603* Grams per Troy ounce = 31.1 Then the scrap value would be: 362.98g/31.1*23.11/1.603 = £168.26 But you should be able to get more on eBay if as you say they are immaculate with the documentation I hope that helps! That much? If 10 are 31.47g of .925 then that's about £107 scrap plus another £17 for the lighter two.

Your neck of the woods, Rob.

Not sure about that soldery-looking blob, either!Don't worry Stuart. It's been lovingly described as "The coin has not been cleaned and displays natural tone alover."

I should mention there are no bids on that auction, though. So it's not necessarily an accurate reflection of their price.

Would you believe it? Another Calais annulet issue of Henry VII?! This time from another of our friends. P.S. And a Henry V, also of Calais. Blimey. Forget DNW, CNG & Spink - eBay is the place for genuine rarities lately...

I believe that Nathan has these coins.

They're about 9.4/9.5 grams and were minted in London. Looks very much like it!

Perhaps a foreign coin made by the Royal Mint, they still produce about 15% of the world's currency coins. I've heard of cases of British coins being struck on foreign flans before, but I'm not sure I can help you here.

There are so many non-overdates being sold as overdates! Almost makes it look rarer to get a standard 77 or 78.

Azda might have some opinions! I hope Azda likes one of the most common Henry VI groats.

Is it debased?

The incredibly-rare Henry VII groat of Calais mint sold by a country cottage!! I never thought I'd see one of these in my lifetime.

Just got a phone call, my lots will be with me tomorrow. Very good service.

Let's bump this thread. One for you here, Stuart.

Thanks. It's not quite 1, yet, so Special Delivery could be kind but I'm predicting not until Monday.

And there's no image of the reverse. My guess would be someone who buys them purely for their artistic merit.

There's got to be more than one person willing to pay a premium, as they wouldn't reach this price otherwise. As for why, I'm not sure. This one sold for £320.

The buyer seems to have spent at least a hundred or even three hundred on every enamelled piece he's bought.

Brilliant. Cheers, Paulus!

Do we know how long DNW normally take to dispatch lots? I've only ever collected in person before.

Three here, too.

I quite like the idea of Noble Gibbons.

Apparently no offer has been brought to the table, so nothing's yet set in stone. I'll be keeping a keen eye on how this pans out.

It looks like SG want to venture deeper into coins, to the tune of £42 million - not too sure I'm pleased but I'm doubtful it'll go through. http://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-news/stanley-gibbons-eyeing-a-bid-for-coins-firm-noble-at-42m-8811700.html

Does that mean we now have dibs, Stuart?
