  1. '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
  2. Can we ask how much it cost for the repair job?
  3. Gotten? Surely Peck the spelling police meister will soon be along
  4. 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'
  5. 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
  6. Leave it and move on Stuart
  7. Maybe 4 figures £18.50
  8. 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

    Spink

    For those with ipads and iphones, Spink has an app for viewing catalogues at your lesuire for upcoming sales. Thought it might be useful for some. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/spink-auctioneers/id441915393?mt=8
  12. My advice would be for you to get more involved and learn more about the hobby as i'm assuming the cash will be taken from your wallet and not the kids
  13. Photoscape is free and has a circular crop tool In one fell swoop David took out Nick, the old Eagle soars high above his prey Christ, i'm beginning to sound like Peter and his Cubans and wine (hic)
  14. Personally i use Da Vinci, an old mate, did a few bits and pieces here and there, and the boy could draw a complete 360 degree circle freehand apparently.........
  15. The Tide ishould be level with Britannias Hermeline, it was bidded on accordingly though, maybe a Little to high because someone who obviously does'nt know what a 2mm actually looks like, or the seller
  16. There's a nice genuine 2mm here for comparison Thanks for highlighting my 2mm David
  17. I don't think they did Peter as it's not a 2mm
  18. Some of his UNCs are worse
  19. What was it described as Danz? UNC or so?
  20. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4593755/First-try-detector-in-100k-coin-find.html
  21. Geez did you buy this from surrey*coins, or are you said eBay member surrey*coins?
  22. Either wear or a partially filled die. For some years (1920 for example) these are quite common and not generally considered collectible. I will agree with Rob and Accumulator. An extra comment: I will not pay a premium for an error that can be easily reproduced in my garage! A file, some sand paper and voila, colon disappeared. Thanks! I,m not sure about the garage comment rob!Low tide anyone? High tide, plus i can see the other colon
  23. I've noticed this myself Nick. My normal pictures are bigger than ebay enlarged ones which to me is quite strange.......I've enlarged my own pictures on ebay only to find they are smaller than the ones i've uploaded or are on the main auction picture. I completely sympathise with eBay because their storage requirements must be gargantuan, but for me - if the button doesn't result in an enlarged image then don't call it 'enlarge'. Here, here! A huge bugbear for me too! Does anyone know how to get the eBay 'enlarge' feature to work? I imagine it's an extra cost somewhere ... Its an extra cost aye........
