    I have pared down my collection areas recently, one of my current passions is Charles I halfcrowns. I most recently acquired this difficult 1645 Oxford example, so that I now have at least 1 half-decent example of each year for that mint (1642-46).

    I'm ploughing all my retirement investment funds into NFTs personally, clearly the way to go

    Very nice Will. I'm also collecting Kempson's Coventry buildings (along with Bath and Birmingham), I don't have an example of that one yet. Here's my little collection of Coventry buildings so far

    Increasingly liking this one, my best example of a George II young head roses halfcrown type

    Sounds like a bum issue to me, return it

    In this instance MS 70 is a cleaning product https://www.amazon.com/MS-70-oz-Coin-Cleaner-Bottle/dp/B000YQBZPE

    There is ever increasing evidence imo that due to hype, blind acceptance of TPG grades, record prices being realised, and laziness, greed has become a big factor in our hobby

    Thanks David! I guess that could be it, but I still have my doubts!

    1666 Crown

    Paulus replied to Taikonaut's topic in Wanted

    Did you want one with elephant below?
  12. Paulus
    This was slabbed with a yellow label stating 'Altered UNC' You could ask LCGS not to slab rejected coins. LCGS has now stopped their slabbing/grading service and the database appears to be unavailable.
  13. Paulus
    Certainly, in fact I have decided that is the case! But I decided eventually to share, it will be the first that Rob has heard of it too!
  14. Paulus
    Thanks for the opinions so far chaps, much appreciated! I did think they could have meant some kind of tooling, but I can't spot any (not an expert in that anyway), and I'm not sure what the point would be? It's a solid GEF to my eyes and I don't believe there's a scarce variety someone is trying to mimic?
  15. Paulus
    Can anyone spot anything 'wrong' with this florin? I bought it from @Rob over 4 years ago, and it remains my nicest example of a gothic florin. At the time I was prone to sending some of my nicer coins to CGS (as was) for grading, attribution, etc. I'm not after another debate about the rights and wrongs of slabbing, or the goods and bads of CGS. It was rejected as 'altered' (no further explanation was forthcoming), but I'm damned if I can find anything awry with it!

    Yes, disappointing that so many are cleaned - I suspect they will still realise very high hammer prices, given the current market ...
  17. Paulus
    Thanks chaps, I'm leaning towards a recut 3 (as did the seller)
  18. Paulus
    What do people think of this one please, 3 over 3? Recut 3?
  19. Paulus
    Standard type, just querying the rarity rating?
  20. Paulus
    Bull / ESC have this listed as R2, which doesn't seem to be reflected in Spink or realised sale prices. Probably an error? Anyway, here's my only example, not particularly high grade.
  21. Paulus
    Here's my 'double-struck' shilling as an extreme example
  22. Paulus
    My latest Tower Mint halfcrown, this one lower grade but mm Sun over Eye / Sun and Reverse reads CHRISO AVSPICHE REGNO
  23. Paulus
    A recent detector find, in the process of finding out more (if there is any more!) Reputable dealer though
  24. Paulus
    I often increase the insurance on Special Delivery, I thought the maximum cover with the RM was £2,500? Good value imo, never had to claim so far ...
