I now use a totally free web hosting option (Wordpress) to store my coin pics (see link below) ... 3 gb upload limit All I need to do to post pics in here is to right-click on the image in Wordpress, select Copy Image, then Ctrl+V into here
-
It was when the value of the metal content was equivalent to the FV of the coin, but I don't believe that was the case come 1935? Much more work involved in changing the size of the coin (I would have thought!) Finding this a little surprising I must say!
-
Hense my surprise ... that would explain it, although I am surprised they varied the diameter instead of the weight!!!
-
I am surprised they are exactly the same weight?

My example

Simon Willis often has some great coins for sale, but in all honesty the TPG grading of this one seems like a joke! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Old-Head-Coinage-1900-Silver-Crown-S3937-PCGS-MS64-Choice-UNC-/172787889545?hash=item283af5f589:g:VVkAAOSwXY5ZSWXr

Fabulous coin Rob! Ignoring the rarity of the mm over-strikes, just a gorgeous coin, about time I concentrated on Tudor silver again
-
Here's a bigger pic, hopefully! -
I now have examples of all 5 of the Cinque Ports halfpenny Conder tokens, this is Hastings, the only one of the 5 in Sussex
-
Thanks John, I'll take a look
-
Thanks John, what's your eBay account?
-
Thanks Brandan!

There is no way I would grade that 1904 HC as Fine from those pics, I think all the lettering should be visible for Fine? And it should be irrelevant how rare the coin is. Happy to be contradicted ...
-
Yes, I don't think the 1905 you bought is fully fine either, but I don't think you did all that bad for the lot as a whole, it depends what grade you want as 'keepers'
-
My latest Cinque Port (pronounced Sink Port apparently) Conder token, just Hastings needed to complete the main 5, arriving later this week but not as high a grade ... Question for other Conder token collectors on here - I use the following sellers to source my tokens, any others I should be looking at? ABC coins and tokens (David Stuart) Baldwins (of St James) John Newman (johnnyqc on eBay) Druids Revenge (eBay Seller)
-
Very nice Michael!
-
From the pics, GEF for me, a trace too much wear, allbeit slight, for AUNC imo - very clean in terms of rims and bag issues in the fields
-
My Hull token (it's D&H 21 I believe, as opposed to your D&H 20) - no flaw on the H
-
A punt on this 1841 halfpenny, I'm grading GEF from the seller's pics, opinions welcome
-
Sorry but to say with the QC at the RM, varieties at that level are going to be almost infinite - tried pre-decimal coins?
-
I have this matt proof half crown which I will be selling at some point, notice the (relatively minor) Mint wipe
-
I believe so yes - I hope the coin looks a lot nicer in hand than those photos suggest!
-
The secondary market (eBay etc) is the way to go for most modern RM proof coins and sets (if you like that sort of thing!) Very few fetch a premium on what the RM originally charged, most go for much less
-
I love all this and know about Mary, I also advise Rob's caution when it comes to attributing an item!
-
What is the moneyer and mint?
