    Very hard to capture in pics too, which is part of the problem!
  2. Paulus
    Yep, go for it! Although if eBay and paid by Paypal, you may well get refunded if you report it

    I agree with Stuart, the reverse does not quite make EF for me either, EF/NEF
  4. Paulus
    Ordered this from Rob last night, looks to have some nice toning (halfpenny)

    Unofficial farthing token circa 1843

    Some major appeal on the reverses there especially! Not sure if I have posted this one before on here, grading opinions? (Halfcrown)
  8. Paulus
    Me also

    Not just the 'Roman' I but the other date numbers also look ill-formed, what do other members think?
  10. Paulus
    Looks well suspect to me Youngsie, @Rob?

    Blimey a 1934 proof crown would be worth £fortunes I imagine!

    I'll guess at choice UNC LCGS 80 on that one
  13. Paulus
    Need bigger pics I think!

    When this coin was graded, CGS 80 was described as UNC - it may well say this on the slab - they changed their descriptions a few years ago so that 78 became UNC, 70 aUNC etc I have just bought an 1861 shilling which is CGS 78 and described on the slab as AU

    The weight always helps, also posting pics on this Forum. A lot of quality stuff will have provenance too, always ask for it

    Book has just arrived, fantastic, thanks Pete @PWA 1967
  19. Paulus
    Thanks Pete, just paid Paul
  20. Paulus
    Yes please Pete

    In my limited experience I have used acetone very sparingly and very carefully, but never on proof coins - and I have never found that it removes fingerprints - they (fingerprints) are pretty much there to stay I think. I just nowadays try to avoid them in the first place, although, like many, I have made mistakes in the past
  22. Paulus
    Whatever the cause it looks very battered, and to be avoided!

    Yes that makes sense, thanks Rob - ever seen evidence of a non-8-reale host coin on an 1804 dollar?
  25. Paulus
    I didn't know that, interesting ...
