  1. Getting more and more into these, a recent addition:
  2. Happy birthday John!
  3. Yes, I think it's in Chris' @Chris Perkins book 'Roman Silver Coins' as Silver Denarius 89BC Rape of Sabine Women, L. Titurius Sabinus, CRS204 Group 6 Class 1a (two or more human characters/trophies), thanks Chris
  4. 1902 Penny low tide slabbed and graded CGS 60 (EF) UIN 32059 £130 including RM Special Delivery

  6. I am no expert but have spent many hours trying to get results that I am happy with. For me, capturing the toning and eye appeal as it is in hand, is the primary objective. Here is an example of a 1918 HC I am happy with, photos-wise, a different coin to yours of course. It has the same 'life' and 'depth' as when I view it in the raw:
  7. I will display the full matched set at some point, for now these are the next few:
  8. Yes, that would put me off too, becomes a lottery and/or leap of faith. What copper lot did you win?
  9. One I acquired a few months back, just wanted to point out the PENNEY error!
  10. Plenty of high grade copper tokens went at the Baldwins of St James's auction today, mainly ex Baldwins vault, anyone nab some? Prices were strong in the main for top grades with lustre.
  11. Pressing on with more coins in this set, which I must say seem to be near FDC
  12. Well done Stu!
  13. Finding it very hard to represent what it looks like in hand, and of course this changes massively with lighting and angles in any case! 1937 crown attempt
  14. I agree, and no discernible Mint wipe! Here's mine
  15. Paulus

    1912 penny

    Hi Anthony, would love to see pics of that one please?
  16. My pic of the Sandwich token, the best of the three
  17. Thanks, yes I did! I had no idea that the Tenterden area was a major shipbuilding naval port until the rivers silted up. Sandwich one has the Cinque Ports Coat of Arms.
  18. My partner lives in Folkestone, I got them online when I got back
  19. 3 newbies acquired this week, all Kent tokens from places I visited last weekend
  20. My comment was 'tongue in cheek', it's fabulous!
  21. My immediate reaction given past experience is that this must be a copy, anyone have a different view? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311876270618?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  22. Yes, fabulous!!
