The older generation do 😂 In order to pin a new thread someone from the hub of the forum needs to add it, surprised a book section isn't within the forum yet.

Thought we could maybe start a section for books, on books, good titles to have in the library etc. Anyway, just saw that Jeremy Cheeks has written something on the Queens Coin collection and wondered if anyone is adding this to their library, would make a great Christmas present https://www.tokenpublishing.com/shop/product/8006/17 Who"s running the asylum now these days, do we have any moderators?

Sounds like Westminster

It seems everything has been well thought out then, pretty much the norm for British politics

@davidrj is your man for the Frenchies, not sure last time he was around though

I hear some rumblings now and again, what's the story, does anyone in Govt have any clue what's happening or is everyone making it up as we go?

Day 2.........Not as successful as day 1 it would seem, a lot being passed on

As i've been out for a while i'm just a watcher to get the feel of prices for now, although there is one that i have an eye on, but will probably sit back until next year and keep saving money till then

I personally think they are spot on with their grades

Well that was just a wow on the William and Mary (1688-1694), Crown, 1692/2 inverted, edge qvinto (ESC 824 [85]; S 3433). Extremely fine and toned £1,500-£2,000 Sold for £10k 😱

Coin theft, or dodged a bullet?

Anyone informed LC about this 1864? I thought they were THEEEEE experts in fake detecting

AU 55 is GVF, only at AU58 does the British EF grading begin

Funnily enough I had a few coins in at PCGS Paris this week, a couple of silver proofs and a couple of gold coins. The proofs came back on Wednesday as MS and 1 of my MS coins has come back as a proof. Doesn’t fill you with much confidence

False, they have a technique to get the attribution of DCAM or Ultra Cameo

It wasn’t a mistake, they were told they weren’t proof coins on numerous occasions but went ahead anyway with the designation, it was only after one came into their hands that wasn’t proof like that they started changing the designation to BU, or the MS grade

And the description on the RM website

Here's the 5 Sovereign from PCGS

Unfortunately NGC and PCGS graded these £5 as Proofs when they were in actual fact released as BU coins. NGC have graded quite a few as proof along with the strike on the day sovereign but have since stopped the proof designation after releasing they were in fact BU struck coins but the damage was already done. The RM had released some of these coins with a COA that stated proof on it and after realising their error sent out letters asking to swap the COAs out for a correct one stating BU. 3 coins were released at the same time, 5 sovereign, a Piedfort Sovereign and the strike on the day sovereign, only the Piedfort was struck as proof, coincidently, a proof is struck 6 times and not 3, , specimens are struck 3 times and BU once. Attached is my piedfort designated PF70DCAM

Single

Lots of eye appeal
