1891 Crown Toning
1887jubilee replied to Coys55's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have seen this on coins in my collection that have been in cases with particular foam in the lining and also on a silver tea pot that was exposed to sulfurous coal fires. -
1887 Gothic Florin varieties

46 is the only one known to me. Even the "proof" has 46. I have seen the Royal Mint collection but don't recall one there either. -
Has Ebay changed its closing process ?
1887jubilee replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have noticed the pips on the radio, the time on my phone and the clock on ebay are all different. The computer is about 3 seconds behind and I put this down to some electronic lag. I think ebay allows several pre electronically generated bids to unravel after the final time. You can check by looking at the bids button to see what time each bid was made. -

Sovereign Rarities Sale, Thoughts?
1887jubilee replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No prizes for guessing which 1887 penny I got driven up to buy. But at least I know its pedigree right back to Murdock and it is after all unique. -
contract law - offer for sale
1887jubilee replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Conversations like this take me back 50+ years to phrases like "invitation to treat" "offer and acceptance" "fundamental terms and mere warranties" The goods on ebay only invite an invitation to treat (make an offer). Who remembers The Boots Cash Chemists case or Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co If your money is not accepted there is no contract. On the other hand Sale of Goods Act is also in force so ask someone a lot younger. -

Recommendations Wanted
1887jubilee replied to DaveG38's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You could try H.W. Wood Limited The Baltic Exchange, 38 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BH Phone: +44 (0)20 7398 9000 ext 2105 Direct Dial: +44 (0)20 3697 2105 Good as you don't have to identify "valuables" or say what is gold silver or other. No photos needed but obviously if you need any claim it is good to have all details. If you use them I could do with a commission. -
The Verene collection of British proofs
1887jubilee replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
And what about the Gothic Crowns? A$84000+ commission = £58,000 phew. I was happy to get three lots including one piece, I believe unique, from the collection. -

Royal Mint annual reports 1870-1976 now online

Brilliant. Thank you for finding that. I had borrowed the 1887 and 1888 books and had to scan them myself for the last 10 years. -

1887 Jubilee three different obverses The two you mention and 20 pearls to the brooch instead of the usual 16 this is paired with different reverses. three different reverses. Broken G (just a die flaw but scarce) 7 to a space 7 to a bead -
Sotheby Thorburn 1918
1887jubilee replied to jasonsewell's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Well done Rob. The same coin is illustrated in Thorburn's "The Coinage of Great Britain" Third edition plate VIII ref 104 but the quality is quite poor. -
High End Auction Houses
1887jubilee replied to Flash's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
If it is "extremely special" say over £25,000-£50,000 Japan or America might do better. -

Has anyone got an authenticated 'Beirut' copy for sale please. -
A veil head 1893 threepence priced at 600 pounds
1887jubilee replied to celtic_coin's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Steep prices indeed but you can't argue with the quality. There is a whole world of investors rather collectors out there. The Americans at Heritage and the Japanese seem to be driving tremendous prices. Just sit back and increase your insurance -
possibly fake gold coins
1887jubilee replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Grief; if they are duff my whole collection is probably suspect. On the other hand the 1887 £5 is one of the most forged coins. -

Can I contact you to discus? I have 8 different 1887 reverses. -
Collection going under the hammer 10 Mar at DNW
1887jubilee replied to Nick's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The main point with the obverse is the brooch has 20 pearls not 16 as is normal. So in fact a totally different obverse. Some of these were issued in the 1887 silver only sets. I have not seen a currency piece with 7 to a bead -
Jubilee head sixpence die pairings
1887jubilee replied to Nick's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes you are onto something here. I have examined my extensive 1887 collection of 6d. There are as you say different obverses but not limited to the two you show. Even the reverses are not limited to the A-E in Davies. there being at least four of 1887 alone. For comparison I would like to see your obv. 2 if it is 1887. I only have one. -
Collection going under the hammer 10 Mar at DNW
1887jubilee replied to Nick's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The 1887 Halfcrown with 7 to a bead is a significant rarity. I have sent the information to a friend in Australia who has been looking for one for some time. The double florin obv.1 rev. B is well known but represents only about 5% of 1887 double florins. If you have anything else 1887 please contact me. PS good to see all the familiar names on the forum.
