    Got it!

    Conor, would you be prepared to share who the dealer is, sounds like someone to consider adding to my list if not there already?
  3. Paulus
    I agree with Stuntman, the grade seems ok, don't know the price, eye appeal is in the eye of the beholder. You get flecking in early milled silver of this period (due to metal composition) but not normally just in one place. Check with the dealer/seller that you are buying 'on approval', i.e. you need to see it in hand and will return for full no quibble refund if you are not happy, and that they are happy with that. For me, I just want a decent LIMA George II halfcrown, not both a 1745 (with the U instead of V in GEORGIUS, which I'm guessing was in error), and a 1746, just the one - this is my best so far - a few years ago these could be bought in a high grade for a fraction of what they go for now, wish I collected seriously 10-30 years ago! But there we are, still fantastic examples are available of many coins at good prices if you do your research and show patience

    Amusing that they should choose to quote from a forum called 'predecimal' about a 2009 50p!

    Thanks Rob
  6. Paulus
    Thanks Rob, a perfect example of where my grading would let me down when buying or selling such an example. I think I got lucky with this one!

    Only EF for me, but that will do for a variety low-tide type example

    Be careful with the 1902 3d's, they could be Maundy and could be proofs that you are viewing, which may or may not tick your boxes! Maundy Matt Proof 3d (I think!)
  9. Paulus
    Nice clean example. This is the 2nd bust which is perhaps worth 50% more than the 1st bust ceteris pariba. I'd go "approaching GVF" for grade.
  10. Paulus
    I echo some of the opinions above. I would try and find better grade/eye appeal, and if plumping for this one would definitely not pay aEF money for it
  11. Paulus
    I have one on sale which I am confident is GVF or better , others may disagree of course!
  12. Paulus
    Great stuff Gary!
  13. Paulus
    FDC?
  14. Paulus
    I will mainly remember him for his work with King Crimson
  15. Paulus
    Looks like you may have done well there then Scott!

    And I got this one of one of my favourite towns. Lots of lustre and proof-like fields, hard to photograph ... Edge: "PAYABLE AT DALLYS CHICHESTER X X X X "
  17. Paulus
    And one for @Peter Edge: "GOD SAVE THE KING AND CONSTITUTION X X" I'll see if I can take clearer pics Edit - better pics (hopefully)
  18. Paulus
    New arrival. All sorts going on with this, Halfpenney and Payble errors, A over V or inverted A in Halfpenney. Plain edge. Seller's pics, my own pending Edit: My pics
  19. Paulus
    I have been told that the official boxes (for 1902 for example) containing proof sets actually have "Specimen Coins" written on the top of the box - as if back then they used the terms 'proof' and 'specimen' interchangeably

    Yey Richard, so pleased to see you posting, you have helped me so much with Charles I ! My favourite from you:
  21. Paulus
    Not my best, but lovely and interesting all the same
  22. Paulus
    They are difficult that's for sure. How would people rate this low tide halfpenny?
  23. Paulus
    1,200 in fact!

    David at ABC has some new stock, well worth a visit ,, http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/ I have cherry-picked four, including a Suffolk with you in mind Peter and my first Croydon Tea Rooms (my home town)
