    There are a couple of US coin dealers that I use.I still like CC although their standards have dropped. I still like the Midland for raw coins.

    Avoid unless you know what you are buying.Lots of fake gothic's out there.

    I have been buying sets of 1953 coins maybe getting a couple of rare farthings.Most of these sets were spent at the local sweet shop. A good BU 1953 1d is sort after.

    Peter posted a topic in Free for all

    Here am I at the ripe old age of 51...I buy myself a Casdon Soccer game. This afternoon I have challenged Mrs Peter....loser to make the cocktails and fluff the pillows I then check my Ebay account and have bought another one for 99p plus P&P.DOH Airfix next? Please don't ask how many 1720 farthings I have
  14. Peter
    It would have to be 3 my pair of 1698 farthings and a 1967 vf 1d
  15. Peter
    1 gef 2 good The 1925 was noted as a key date many years ago.Hence they are common as muck as are H & KN 1950 & 1 Pennies.

    I would put a door over that lot. I have a 1928 BU SA sov in a case.(father in law memories).It is quite descreet plus any thief would have to get past my Dog and police batton.

  21. Peter
    He has relisted it.The original description was CELTIC :D I did tell him what he had and the value would be approx cut 1d (a few £)
  22. Peter
    Hi Mike That is fantastic. A coin that as a type collector would suffice....Wow

    hello from Nek

    Peter replied to Nek17's topic in Beginners area

    Hi Nek...welcome I'm sure you know what you like.The truth is if you like it so will many others.Grading is subjective.Ignore grading for hammered (see the forgoing). There are few dealers on Ebay who are believable...but yes they do exist.I have my favourites. By all means keep your eyes open but sometimes an eye appealing GVF is more desirable than a claggy EF. Feel the market and don't be afraid.You can always sell on a pretty coin.
  24. Peter
    I believe Ebay since 1998 has struck the general grading market.Yes it is crap. Some claims are pathetic. Fools and their money are soon parted.Dealers have dropped their guard. If I bought a raw UNC coin from a dealer and it wasn't it would go back...UNLESS the price was at EF and I was happy with the coin. Look at our friend MP who likes to increase grades at a whim.
  25. Peter
    I don't think CGS will see them that way. I suspect that grades somewhere in the VF55-EF60 are more likely, but hope they rate a little higher. please advise where you have seen better.
