Divemaster you should Check the thread where a fake coin was actually slabbed by NGC, so makes slabbing look a little dubious personally

As an engraver of the time Peck, would you want your head cut off or hung for portraying the King in an unflattering light?

Picture of said coin please....

I recently sent a coin out but forgot where is was exactly, it was around your region and was told by the Post Office that i could'nt post it, ended up sending it to the USA for the buyer

A couple of hours? He'll need a couple of weeks at least. Welcome Greg

Agreed, and they Need a divorce

Lol, its in my collection Ski, but will be interested to see where that one goes.

Sooooooooooooo, lot 517, i paid (this year) roughly about 157GBP for mine.........Pix added to compare between mine and Londons 300-400GBP estimated Halfcrown. There's is the joint finest apparently in a population of 30......A little concerned that London and CGS are getting a little to neighbourly........Anyway, Thoughts on mine over theirs, good or bad.......

I like their spiel on lot 502, quote (Florin 1905 ESC 923 AU and graded AU75 by CGS 2nd finest from 14, we understand that the finest known graded AU78 is in a long term collection and unlikely to be offered for sale, so this piece is currently the finest available to commerce) So what they're really saying is, you gotta bid big cos we've said the finest is away for a while.......... CGS and Londoncoins really should not reside together.......... Graded as AU75, so where's the holder if it's graded so? Or is this been graded by CGS for London in order to achieve a better price, then when the buyer comes to get it graded by CGS it's downgraded a few points...............

Watch out Ann Summers

Happy Birthday Paul.

Its a scottish David Coin, size? Robert was who i meant

Lol, i Doubt it, a serious collector would'nt pay those prices, some unsuspecting ebayer might though.

I assume they would email the winning bidder the invoice ski

I have 1 or 2 for the little guy

'Gotten' is Old English and perfectly acceptable (and correct) usage to an American. I think it sounds nice. I've gone and gotten me a dictionary

Can we ask how much it cost for the repair job?

Gotten? Surely Peck the spelling police meister will soon be along

Ski i also agree with what you're saying and are possibly referring to the 1913 HC i had dipped. That was my first and only attempt, lets look at it this way. If you found an aging coin in the mud would you wash the mud off so you could see what it was? That was basically all i did with the HC, it was basically surface dirt on the coin that would'nt come out in "the wash" and made what was a good attempt at "restoring" it's beauty without completely destroying the coin, unlike several ebayers whos coins look like stones after dipping for what can only be described as trying to gain large profit from doing so, i was'nt, i paid a decent price for the HC and made about 40 quid after fees etc selling it. Cleaning for large profits is in my opinion worse than cleaning to bring back it's former glory, or "conserving" It's not a practise i do daily and not something i intend on continuing, i like lustre on coins and coins that have aged gracefuly Peck, feel free to correct my spelling errors, also ski'

Nice, but noticable hairlines now, seems to have toned in 18 months to. The black marks have gone from the original picture, but a decent job repairing it

Leave it and move on Stuart

Maybe 4 figures £18.50

4 options All feedback feedback from buyers feedback from sellers feedback left for others. I would line up his buyers (and tom) Get a nice 10 lb cod and give their chops a nice slapping. Geez, this numpty again. I wonder if he's actually buying from himself, no One in their right mind World buy at his grade and prices. Still ashamed to say he's from Dundee He has a Festival of britain at ONLY £150, fecking bargain if you ask me
