    Slabbed panda

    Paulus replied to Leo's topic in Free for all

    This is something I don't understand at all! If you are buying bullion why pay way over BV? In this case the cost of slabbing alone would have been more than BV! I must be / may be missing something ...

    From the 'too good to sell' Pearce Collection? Very nice indeed

    I have posted this once before a good while back, but can anyone add some flesh to this? I've done some google research, but all I've really discovered so far is that the British Workman’s Public House Co. Ltd. was part of the Victorian temperance movement ...

    Were there just the 2 designs of these? I've been lazy and not checked D&H yet ...

    Your local chemist should have some and it's pretty cheap, about £1 for 50 ml. Don't use nail polish remover!

    PR65 at a stab from me ... although I didn't know there were proofs for 1939!

    18th Century version of "gotta be in it to win it"

    Hadn't spotted that, you ID'd it already I'm hopeless with non-English! So quite possibly it's ok then ...

    Matteo makes a good point, as ever supply and demand determines the price. You can pick up genuine Roman coins for very little, there are so very, very many around! And as it's an auction, the current bid is not a good indication of the final price. Anyone know what it is?
  11. Paulus
    Definitely not for the bin, I don't think you will find anyone on here saying that (except in jest) Very gentle soap and water, tamping down, pure acetone with a cotton bud possibly, but the key words are 'little' and 'gentle', if at all!

    The words 'eBay', 'total beginner', 'medieval coins', and 'nice coins for not too much money' are sufficient for me to recommend some research before diving in ... Not my collecting focus but I would be very surprised if this is a genuine item! Having said that I have no idea what it is!

    Anyone else watching this? Tonight's episode had brief references to young Viccy arguing over the portrait of her face on early coinage, very speculative but I found it enjoyable even though massively dumbed-down, as is normally the case

    My favourite toning on your recently posted OH shillings so far Nick

    I actually think the DNW auction pics are pretty good. On my PC, using Chrome, if I click on the image to zoom, and then double-click, I get this:
  18. Paulus
    Yes that annoyed me too, losing all the coins in my cabinet. The blown up pics work well for me though, bigger and not blurred - can you give a lot number by way of example?
  19. Paulus
    My view is that yours may well be a better grade than Nons @ozjohn, as we all acknowledge it's hard to grade from the pics alone, but very often that's all we have to go on! To throw this in to the mix, here is my 1911 PROOF half crown, graded CGS 92
  20. Paulus
    I agree, it also now appears to have some 'life' to it, keep going!
  21. Paulus
    Thanks Jaggy, it means a hell of a lot that others on here rate my efforts! I have some way to go to get to BRG standards but steadily getting there I think! The 1902 matt proof half crown, really pleased with the Rev of this one:
  22. Paulus
    Yes, I'm obsessed, I know! New camera from Coinery, and I think my best yet pics of the difficult-to-capture 1902 matt proof crown
  23. Paulus
    I think that's from me Oz!
  24. Paulus
    Nice one UIS, glad it's good in hand
  25. Paulus
    No, you're getting there for sure!
