  1. Not sure where their figures are from but i've artached part of the digital copy for you too see
  2. The latestcoi news digital arrived in my inbox today andthis month they have given pennyprixes, a different denomination each month, the 1904 in UNC was rated at £185
  3. Lives in Germany but does'nt post to Germany.
  4. It won't run into hundreds of Pounds, so excitment should be contained. Just because it's not listed does'nt mean it's not been noted previously, the date itself is fairly common, but i would'nt place a mortgage on a minor overstrike.................... Good spot though
  5. You can of course log into both the saleroomand spink live should any problems arise with spink live
  6. Me either, i'd rather bid on the day, but barring a lottery win, i'll be a spectator only
  7. Nope....I'm working on the basis that I wont get more than one or two at those very low estimates...if I get more than two then I'm screwed ! I'd Hate to think what would happen if you got the 12 of them then lol
  8. Recut numerals are quite common on the Vicky copper penny series
  9. It might be more to do with who actually owns said coin if it gets graded or not.
  10. A dozen or so? You win the lottery Colin? Lol
  11. Might make an offer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151657024128?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D151657024128%26_rdc%3D1
  12. Totally agree, she has the manner of a pitbull, totally disinterested. She needs to find a job she'd be happy in, but i have here in Munich an NGC office which i'm still mulling over
  13. When i tried to join CGS feom Munich it seemed impossible, a bit like tgey did'nt want foreign addresses, it may have changed
  14. I have my doubts about this one als well 171755715267 the leaf under the 1 in date is broken
  15. That is of course assuming the dealer can sell it at that price, why pay that if you can get it cheaper at auction?Because thats how Dealers make Money Paul, plus if you don't Do your homework you're gonna get burntThe coin in question http://www.simonwilliscoins.com/products/coin-details.aspx?id=S2592 And the spink coin http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/spink/catalogue-id-srspi10039/lot-3f4d5584-2e53-41d0-bea6-a453010567e2 I wonder if he asked spink to use the pictures? A curious one though, does the buyer of the coin then become the owner of the pictures or Do those still belong to the auction house?
  16. Yes, it was the Liz I milled shilling from the last Spink auction, hammered at 3k so £3600 with commission roughly and now sitting on a dealers site at £5800. So the obvious fact is, buy it yourself in auction and save 2 grand, as long as its not for flipping it should eventually give a return. I assume the £2200 the dealer has slapped on it will break down as 2k profit and £200 haggle margin
  17. This is the 2nd 1934 wreath crown this seller has sold within the Last few weeks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151649979969?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D151649979969%26_rdc%3D1
  18. Yes, considering there was'nt much noteworthy Changes in prices this year i'll not be buying the 2016 edition at the end of this year. It seems it's easier just to check realised prices, but the variables come into play above VF for hammered coinage of which it's easier winning the lottery than to Even get a grasp of those right now. it seems like you just double the VF Price of the coin in question and you have your figure. Although, saying all that, for a more realistic price Guide for Milled, the CCGB is out there, but nothing for hammered as realistic as CCGB
  19. I thought we were talking the other way around, for milled it's fine but for hammered not Because as Nicholas pointed out, there are no prices for hammered above VF Plus the rarer variations of hammered coins which it does'nt go into depth on
  20. Spink are generally about 6 months out of touch as they compile Prices from the previous year, check www.londoncoins.co.uk and look for realised Prices from their most recent auctions
  21. Bugger that, live separately till the divorce comes through
  22. For grade i'd say near fine/fine and value perhaps between £350-£500. Just as an aside, what the current BoE says the money paid back then is worth now is a little irrelevant, it's what the coin is worth now. Do you have a copy of Spink 2015? Or even have a look through some recent auction realised prices to get a true reflection of its possible value
  23. Asi said above, ithink itsthe reason there's not many live bids onthe day, probably more postal bids and at above the mineythey're worth, although i may have missed the couple that have been undergraded
  24. Lol, a lotto win this week would be good
  25. I just Need to slot this in here regarding My comment. As you can see from the link to the post from MHCOINS how many People who commented were happy with what they bought from Lockdales? A Low grade brings low prices and low commission to the auction House. I assume you listen online to their auctions or Even perhaps attend, what strikes me is the amount of times that when the auctioneer Starts the coin off At X PRICE there are hardly or no other bids afterwards, or the "one more bid and i'm out" an auctioneer should'nt be saying that, he is supposed to be impartial, but i digress from my opinion, they overgrade more often than is normal in any catalogue, 1 or 2 might be acceptable, but these are supposed to a Professional body of auctioneers and should'nt be doing this every coin catalogue that comes out.The halfcrown that Paul posted, NEF as their grade, would you agree with that? With higher grades comes higher prices. I also notice you're based in Ipswich which is where Lockdales are
