    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?
  2. 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

    A recent purchase and example pic

    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:

    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?
  10. 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
  11. Paulus
    I agree, it also now appears to have some 'life' to it, keep going!

    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:
  13. 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
  14. Paulus
    I think that's from me Oz!
  15. Paulus
    Nice one UIS, glad it's good in hand
  16. Paulus
    No, you're getting there for sure!

    Again as a comparison here is my 1826 half crown, bought at Spink auction last September and described as EF, which I agree with
  18. Paulus
    EF all day long on that 1935, for me
  19. Paulus
    Demand and supply as always, with many variables affecting both
  20. Paulus
    'Forum God' is automatically applied to your profile after a certain number of posts, and should certainly not be taken literally (except for Rob!) I am not a 'half-crown specialist', but here is my take, for what it's worth ... published mintage figures indicate how many coins were manufactured in that year, not necessarily how many were manufactured with a particular date on the coin there are 2 main types of 1926, neither of which are particularly rare (third coinage - aka Modified Effigy being slightly rarer) I'm surprised you have found many 1925's, especially if some are high grade, these are genuinely scarce I believe

    Nothing wrong with Ronnie James Dio as replacement lead singer, legend
  22. Paulus
    Mid 70s to mid 80s were my main concert going years, never saw Rush but pretty much everyone else I wanted to, great times
  23. Paulus
    Classic prog rock for me, but also like the supergroups you mention Would love to know the dealer, give us a clue!
  24. Paulus
    Happy birthday!
  25. Paulus
    Ebay, if you're patient and invest the time! Maybe it's the pics, but I would at least expect the lions to have faces! @Nonmortuus
