  1. 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)
  2. 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
  3. My Hull token (it's D&H 21 I believe, as opposed to your D&H 20) - no flaw on the H
  4. A punt on this 1841 halfpenny, I'm grading GEF from the seller's pics, opinions welcome
  5. Sorry but to say with the QC at the RM, varieties at that level are going to be almost infinite - tried pre-decimal coins?
  6. I have this matt proof half crown which I will be selling at some point, notice the (relatively minor) Mint wipe
  7. I believe so yes - I hope the coin looks a lot nicer in hand than those photos suggest!
  8. 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
  9. I love all this and know about Mary, I also advise Rob's caution when it comes to attributing an item!
  10. What is the moneyer and mint?
  11. You've come on in leaps and bounds in both your grading and purchasing decisions Mick imo, great to see
  12. Oops, yes, good spot!
  13. 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:
  14. I'd be happy to help administrate and//or moderate, guess that's up to @Chris Perkins
  15. Bit of a wipe on the shilling and sixpence though:
  16. Fairly / totally(?) wipe-free
  17. 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
  18. UNC with wear strikes me as an oxymoron, if the cap fits, wear it, you know who you are!
  19. 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
  20. 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:
  21. 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
  22. 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
