    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
  8. Paulus
    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!
  11. Paulus
    What is the moneyer and mint?
  12. Paulus
    You've come on in leaps and bounds in both your grading and purchasing decisions Mick imo, great to see
  13. Paulus
    Oops, yes, good spot!

    I have become quite interested in the Cinque Ports Confederation in terms of English social and military history. My partner lives in Folkestone and I am there a lot. Just started, a couple of the 5 main ports:

    I'd be happy to help administrate and//or moderate, guess that's up to @Chris Perkins

    Bit of a wipe on the shilling and sixpence though:

    Fairly / totally(?) wipe-free

    Hence the discussion, why such a diversity? Such a common coin too! Happy with GEF for mine, but when coins clearly inferior grade-wise have a bigger or the same number then I question what is going on
  20. Paulus
    UNC with wear strikes me as an oxymoron, if the cap fits, wear it, you know who you are!
  21. Paulus
    Seems to be at least a whole grade of difference for me, would certainly be disappointed to receive this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1746-AUNC-George-II-Silver-Lima-Halfcrown-CGS-70-MS60-MS61-/332292189986?hash=item4d5e286f22:g:TbsAAOSwDiBZMyFt

    I often support LCGS when they grade a coin, for their strictness and consistency. However this example seems hard to explain, consistency-wise (well on both counts really): My CGS 70 (aUNC) Another CGS 70 for sale on eBay:

    Sorry I should have added that in my OP. The edge listing is crucial as you say. Mine is “PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL”. so a standard 44 I believe
  24. Paulus
    Low grade and I do not think I have posted this here before (same coin, different backgrounds). Have I attributed this correctly (D&H Lancashire 44) - one for @Rob perhaps?. If so it is rated RR by D&H
  25. Paulus
    Great piece of social history Badgerap!
