which is exactly what i'm going to do with the 1905 HC i bought, hopefully this week

There are bronzed currency coins in the Copper series, the colour would be as the bronzed proof, slighty 'watered down', but would have mirrored surfaces but not as highly polished as the proof. I have attached images of a Copper, Bronzed and Bronzed currency which may help. The 1st 2 look both prooflike to me lol

I have 2 1853 Halfpennies, both good grades, i'd be inclined to say UNC, but one of them looks more coppery than the other, so just wondering if one is perhaps proof or just a really early strike. I know what people have said about sharp rims etc, but i just can't make mymind up about it. Advice appreciated

Unfortunately Rob, i could only admire those 2. Quite a way out of my price range (for now at least)

and the proof crown in copper.

Found 2 more stunners, a crown in copper proof and an 1804 bank dollar in the same. Pix

Here's a nice wee website for you ebayers out there. Basically you get 90 days to leave FB, here you can leave it after a year. http://www.mich-tipps.de/Bewertung_90_Tage_UK.html

Its graded at 75 Vicky

The rim is a bit edgy, but goddammmmmm what a strike

750 quid,now to be honest, if i hadn't spent a bit on that 1905 Halfcrown (which will be here next week) then i might have been tempted, but considering i'm skint i'll just have to admire it for a while More to the point, WHERE is it going? Please don't say Germany... If i had the cash Peck then yes it would be coming to the fatherland, as it is, it's actually in the UK Hm. If you've decided against it, I don't suppose I could prevail on you for a DM with details? I've sent a PM Peck............

Here's the REV

Must be one of the nicest busts i've seen on George, and no, i haven't bought it, just sharing my admiration of the coin

Oh drool, hopefully we can have a picture, and well done for the find, hopefully whoever has it will keep hold of it, if not, then i hope he gets a good price at auction. I hope he didn't collapse when he spotted it lol

Lmfao, what did the 1905s go for John?

Well from what i know about the gentleman, he doesn't have a leg to stand on, but my lips are sealed (for now)

any news on the 1905 Halfcrowns to?

I wouldn't trust Mr Platt as far as i could throw him, just my opinion

I believe that when someone starts a dispute that the seller has some advice from ebay which asks if you think the buyer is trying to pull a fast one, obviously from whats been said it seems he is, so let him go for it and then report him to ebay.

You seem to be attracting the idiot buyers John

It was only ordered this week 400, international bank transfer later etc etc etc. Anyhoo, just found out there is a PCGS authorised dealer in Munich, so i will be DEFINATELY popping in there with the coin. They are also at the Munich fair this weekend, bummer that its not in hand, but great that there is someone else who can grade it drool drool

Although He never commented in the grade As yet

He must be churning them out, does'nt it seem odd that the Same seller would have so many? The seller has another couple in similar condition!
