I've bought from them, 1 had a rim ding and they still graded it as UNC, grading was definately a little off

You have to leave it 7 days before opening a dispute, but also bear in mind, the buyer might be on holiday and won the bid through sniping, so give it the full 7 days then escalate it through ebay.

If he doesn't send him a PM or he has a website rpcoins.co.uk

The man for this would be Rob, he has a lot of old catalogues including Glendinnings

i have quite a few that are better than Fine, i'm going to seperate these while taking pictures and add that these are better than scrap value, most are halfcrowns, with 1 VF Viccie crown, and 2 1820 crowns (F only) Karzi is i'm assuming the London expression for toilet lol

And welcome back Michael. Its the best reference for Pennies, well worth the 50 quid i paid, still takes some getting used to though.

Cracking portrait though, am stil amazed that Roman stuff can outlast some of our more recent British coins.

Thumbing through the catalogue last night I couldn't help noticing it. I checked to a few times to see if I could say it wasn't a crack, but failed. I guess that's why the estimate is what it is - no crack and you could double it. In VF it's a £150-200 coin, virtually as struck you can comfortably add a 0. The estimate is 1750 euros Rob, doubt you can add another 0 onto that

Quite a few there going way over estimate. Collecting is NOT getting any cheaper is it

The seller in question is Germanys longest running dealer, since 1870. Then there is Lanz, he's in Munich and has apparently the largest byzantienne collection in the world, originally from Austria, his father started the business.

In all honesty the adjustment marks would'nt bother me. Its a rare coin in itself, but what he's obviously selling is the graded holder

Iwould have said personally GVF as the OBV hair detail is also quite worn, buttttt it could be a weak strike like this one

Yes, i did think that to when comparing to petitioncrowns website. The dealers description is Groat o.J. (1505/1509), London. Spink 2258.although i'm no expert on hammered

Here's one i found

This one from Tony Clayton's site , the only others I could find were Coinsgb and here Google dried up after that: I wonder how many are out there? Court didn't find any in his big penny survey David PS Azda is warned not to follow the Tony Clayton link, it may prove too much for him Lol, i already did

Another would be the 1850 Shilling, never seen one at all.

I have 523g of pre 1920, so obviously no use to you

You really ought to do this for a living, Dave, you're clearly good at it...I'm chuffed if I make a tenner on most of the coins I sell. I wish i had the cash to start Declan, so many nice coins out there, i want them ALL lol. Speaking of which, anyone seen this before? It was on ebay earlier and i took a punt on it but got outbidded, the seller sent me a 2nd chance offer on it, presumably he bidded to much on it himself as i was a zero FB winning bidder. Its a trial piece for GB 1 Euro, description says its 25g of .999 silver. Thinks its worth buying?

Ah, the Chas milled coinage. That's the kind of hammered that I like I think the topic moved on to the best coin Peck, regardless of hammered or milled. Do try and keep up my old bean

Just found the Chas shilling on my photobucket account that i sent to Rob, very nice indeed

Nice bog head! Wonder whether cargo was bullion or coin Rumour has it the cargo was 1903 & 05 Halfcrowns...that would worry a couple of Chinese manufacturers. Interesting that the announcement of this find, which totals some 200 tons of silver, almost immediately depressed the bullion price for silver by about 20%. The price went from around £25 per troy ounce to £20 almost in an instant. 200 tons? it must have sunk fast. It states it was sunk in 1941 so it might not be .925 silver, it could be that its .500.........Still holding over half a Kilo of .925 myself, just waiting for the right time. anyone with a crystal ball?

ARSCHLOCH LOL

The coin i most enjoyed was the 1905 Halfcrown, i had it several days lol, but just to own a decent and original coin of that year was pretty amazing. Unfortunately for me, it was way out of my price league for the time being and was merely bought to sell on, the wife did enjoy the 1200 euro profit though, i think i saw about 100 of that I also really liked the one i had purchased for Rob from Germany, a shilling i think it was (Rob might show it again) Really nice coin. I actually wanted it for myself, but at the time it was to much for me, i had showed Rob the dealers gallery pics and he also liked it, so i snapped it up for him before anyone else got it, plus €50 off the asking price as i'd dealt with the dealer before.

It must be amazing when money is no object and buy exactly what you want (coin wise) I don't know where i'd start if i had that sort of money At 300 Million, it must have been a decent business

This thread has taken over the boards lol. I was reading the reply Rob left regarding prices at St James auction, so i have yet another curious question (it is personal so it's up to you if you want to answer or not) Whats the most anyone here has paid for a coin. I've personally paid 1500 and was sweating, so i can't imagine what someone who's paid the 150K Rob earlier mention must be feeling, think i'd need a bottle of vallium (for the wife after i pick her up off the floor) BTW, i love the detailed answers given by members on the forum, it makes this forum worthwhile looking at.
