Coinery

I can’t imagine for a second that a cabinet would do? I’d be thinking you’d want these airtight? I would!

I’ve just had my first look over your website…that’s a phenomenal body of work. Comprehensive doesn’t quite capture the immensity of it! Well done that man!

Thank you, appreciate that

Thank you, I really appreciate your insights. With this being a 6+G do you happen to have the Freeman number to hand? I never dreamt I’d be buying such coins ever again, so have long since parted with the book.

Bought one of these today, just so someone might talk to me. A common date, but an OK grade I’d say

Bloody good, though, and still working ‘blind’ on the other details

Well, eight weeks so far has given me this! I’m really pleased with them and will carry on a little while, yet! Much better than my phone pictures show…I SO wish I had my old camera set-up!

Everyone should have a nice example of one of these. Such lovely coins!

Oh, Lord…how baroque

Thank you still very obvious, though, in the finders images, that the proposed ‘bell’ PM is actually the ‘A’ of SPINA

Lol…a PM ‘Bell’ obverse Penny with what is clearly a coronet reverse. I truly hope it wasn’t the experts at the PAS that called this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125886353408?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9JbxkjgCRKa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qduwzHkQTWC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

100% agree…verification of the written AND spoken word a must at all times! Do you already have an example earmarked? Looks like it’ll cost you a ‘pretty penny’ to acquire one when/if you do!

Ahh, I see…I was responding to the ‘alternatively DNW 68 lot 320…will do for comparison!’ I assumed from that that you didn’t have the info. Good luck with the project

Looks the same to me!

In answer to your first question, here’s the DNW lot!

Yes, but, as has already been said, I think a determined and unlimited-funds buyer can draw a few up the ladder with him/her. I know that I went a few bids beyond my own good reasoning, and I wasn’t overly desperate (I have a 1567), or can say that I had the money to spend. I believe it can definitely drive the prices up if someone decides they want an amazing Elizabethan collection, and sets out to buy all the nice pieces for a year or two, until perhaps they get bored?

I cannot fathom why a counterfeit should be so desirable? It has a little bit of kudos from being in W. Wilkinson’s collection, but not £550 quid’s worth of kudos? I’m stunned! The nice Elizabeth coins are absolutely flying at the moment…no rhyme nor reason to it, simply crazy! Maybe it only takes just one person with unlimited funds to suddenly get excited about Tudor coins for a couple of years, buying all the nice bits…this could potentially skew the market for years to come? I can’t think of any other explanation for such a significant spike in prices?

Elizabeth keeps blowing me away! Noonans today: £540 for the 1567, and around £550 for the contemporary counterfeit!
