Rash has some quite a penny collection and I have hopefully contributed towards by selling him one or 2 coins I had in my possession previously, hopefully you'll be much more a contributor Rash.

When I got my 1860 halfpenny graded by CGS I checked their website for prices equivalent to specific grades. The finest known at the time was a CGS80, I didn't expect mine to come up to that grade, at the time a CGS80 was valued by them at £750 so you'd assume my apparent "finest known" graded at CGS82 would be around £800-£1000, but nope, everything went backwards, the CGS80 is now £500 and mine now at £575
-
I think it would depend on what was graded, at CGS91 isn't that a proof? Therefor the PCGS/NGC grade should be PF whatever. Just took a look at the CGS site and CGS91 is aFDC meaning the coin was a proof issue

If it's for your own collection then the way I look at it is this, if you like it then buy it, i've gone over the odds several times because I believed the coin I was bidding on (mostly hammered) had either a good strike, eye appeal, rare or a Combined all 3 of those, if you want BANG for your buck then you could be sitting with an empty tray for a long time waiting

welcome back old bean

As it is a Spink book I doubt the pictures will be up to much! Their latest auction catalogue is an absolute disgrace with coins incorrectly described, incorrectly identified and lotted up as if a 2 year old with a bag of crayons was responsible! Good too see you back and in top form John, unlike your football team, howay the lads
-
I saw this a month or so back, they also have a new Scottish, Ireland and the Islands edition. I'll be getting both in due course

The only laws I know about for drones under the 5kg weight is mainly no flying 1.5km of an airport, army bases or nuclear facilities, the rest is common sense really which few seem to have.
-
The rotors spin at quite a speed and if it fell out of the sky could cause serious injury. You just can't fly these things without a bit of grey matter between the ears.
-
That's quite a low percentage John, I thought it would have been around the 99% mark.
-
A decent looking coin and i'd certainly say EF, but the rim knock would detract. Die cracks IMO bring nothing to a coin. As for small/large date i can't comment

Looks like he has got his priorities right

Unless it's German which means until

It gets very expensive for hotels etc during the Oktoberfest, they milk it for all its worth, in most instances the prices for a room triple. Tell your son to maybe try Saturn or media markt for a laptop fix
-
You should try the Oktoberfest brew. If i remember correctly one brewery has beer at around the 14% mark, Paulener Salvator is brewed all year round and is 8% and i sampled an Oktoberfest bottled Beer last night which was 6% 5% + is normal for Germany, no wonder i walk around in a daze. Oktoberfest starts this Saturday

Agreed, i don't think i've seen any which haven't toned to some degree -
Height is determined by the owner. You can go As low or high As you wish, As long As there is no obstacles, it cannot determine those. Next stop, Castle Neuschwanstein on Wednesday

Nons "What crap has he bought this time?" Thread.....
azda replied to Nonmortuus's topic in Beginners area
Yup, a decent coin Paul -
So i've now found some editing software, everything is still a work in progress, but now have audio on this latest one which is a short clip from Schloss Nymphenburg again in which i used the "follow me feature" on the drone which basically lets me be hands free and the drone will follow me wherever i go. https://youtu.be/0GG0opjT1Mo

And a bronze on Black

An earlier copper from me
-
I'd agree with Pete' comment above about the background. Try out several different backgrounds plus different Lighting. I went from a pöain black background to plain white. The white is best for silver IMO but haven't bought any copper recently to try out on the white background.
-
This one was once mine
-
Oh, just try one of your others Rob

I'm not sure if a dipped proof would retain its proof fields, i've never tried obviously, but dipping even a currency coin for longer than 10 seconds and it looses all its life and looks like stone. Martin P from ebay does this quite often and those he's overdipped are very obvious, proofs in my opinion might lose its brilliant fields somewhat. Anyone want to experiment? Rocking horse proofs normally sell around the £450-£500+ region
