    That, I think, is the biggest issue with this change
  2. Paulus
    Total carnage Train wreck
  3. Paulus
    This is the same pricing model, pretty much, they had briefly before their £500 lifetime membership brainwave

    Very much appreciated Bob, but surely there are many specialist Viccy copper penny collectors on here for which this is just run of the mill!? I'm happy, so I'll move on to finding a nice example in another area Possibly being hard on myself!
  5. Paulus
    Thanks Bob, I'm dead pleased because I dipped my toe into copper for the (almost) first time and I think I did well. Did research and took advice, but pleased for my first biggie! It's an 1854 Penny, and very happy with the grade ... I can grade I think but anything above aUNC (or MS63) is trickier in these! To get CGS 80 (MS64) was a bonus

    I had a batch completed on Saturday 23rd July (of which this was one) .. finally! Just noticed their pics no longer refer to CGS, rather the 'London Coins Grading Service' ... at least that connection will be more transparent then, I'd have thought they would move the other way! http://www.coingradingservices.co.uk/img.php?u=39472&f=r&

    LOL nice to see a post from you Chris!

    Personally I love collecting coins so I would choose an area that interests me, research it, and start acquiring (while still looking for those elusive penny gaps!)
  9. Paulus
    True I'm afraid
  10. Paulus
    Gawjus BRG!
  11. Paulus
    Good price but I'd be grading nVF at best based on that pic alone ...
  12. Paulus
    Thanks Matt, well you wanted edge lettering, and now you have it, so that's good ... trouble is there are SO many varieties of these druids!! They seemed to have better milling technology than the RM at this time, pre-1816! I want a few more, will have a trawl again soon
  13. Paulus
    Those lots will have been unsold
  14. Paulus
    Catawiki? etsy?
  15. Paulus
    A thing of beauty! We can all fantasise!
  16. Paulus
    Bravo Pedro!
  17. Paulus
    Here are the CGS pics of your coin
  18. Paulus
    And you have it back? Still waiting on mine numbered 39472 onwards!
  19. Paulus
    I agree with the over-dates, VF+ for me
  20. Paulus
    Whatever happens next I hope Paul is still part of the setup, they have their place in the scheme of things in my reckoning I would not have got refunded on my dodgy Northumberland shilling if it wasn't for CGS, my first involvement with them
  21. Paulus
    Plus, is it authentic, what variety is it? (CGS are good at this), looking back £13,75 per coin was a bargain and I was pleased with the results, if not the customer service or time taken! Missing them already! Incidentally, if you have a UIN you want to look up, there is a way of still doing that
  22. Paulus
    Lot's of different reasons for using a TPG Pete, and I agree with what you are saying
  23. Paulus
    Ummm, and the sellers / dealers! I couldn't agree more, the decision to use a different scale and then to change it was a big mistake! I don't like the US term Mint State (MS) for coins below aUNC though
  24. Paulus
    The current comparison table has CGS 65 at GEF, I believe they changed things a few years ago
  25. Paulus
    What is the CGS UIN please Adam? @AdamCurtis
