    He's a precious metal 'stacker', different lingo I guess

    Possibly need to be logged in to ngc to see it?

    Indeed, any microscopic traces of verd and you're done for!

    65 is equivalent to GEF, just one notch below AUNC ...

    I agree with Ian's grade assessment, Fair-Fine, reverse slightly better. I would value the coin at precisely £19.

    All those links go to this page Jaggy (for me)

    Clive may have meant that the seller had now added his own pics to the listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfred-the-Great-AR-Penny-Coin-Anglo-Saxon-/322177261763?hash=item4b0342e0c3:g:mXgAAOSwEjFXdmWq

    Happy birthday John!

    Classic summary of the current fiasco!

    I have spent many many hours trying to come up with a set-up that results in more life-like coin pics, I'm reasonably happy with them now. For indoor photography one of the improvements was to start using LED DAYLIGHT lamps. This useful article set me off in the right direction: http://coinimaging.com/photography.html

    If it is 296 it won't have any edge lettering

    Lovely coin Matt, here's my somewhat poorer example from a later year, which I believe to be D&H 398: Check what (if anything) it says on the edge, mine says “PAYABLE x IN x LONDON x OR x ANGLESEY x”

    Filling my gaps with examples that meet my ever increasingly high criteria is getting harder and demanding more patience, upgrading existing examples slightly less so, but still requires discipline. What are your main focus areas?
  16. Paulus
    Welcome Jimmy I have brief periods of up to 2 weeks or so when my interest wanes, largely because I haven't the funds to upgrade or fill gaps, or the energy/time inclination/to sell some that don't fit for various reasons, in order to generate funds. I've been collecting seriously for about 8 years and find it harder and harder to find examples that 'float my boat'. You having posted on here tonight is hopefully a good sign

    Hi John I think we should start with the best pics you can take, welcome to the Predec Forum!
  18. Paulus
    I'm exaggerating (hopefully!!). They do seem to be taken extra long during this period of CGS business model uncertainty, I know a few people who are waiting longer than is usual ... They have attributed as above and taken pics so far:
  19. Paulus
    Yes it is. Still being graded so it will be a few more months before we know their grading verdict! CGS variety 06, UIN 39472, looks like this will be the 2nd one to be processed by them
  20. Paulus
    CGS have decided my 1854 penny is variety 'D of DEF over a lower, broken D'

    Sanity has prevailed, contrary to all predictions. Belief in common sense has somewhat returned

    Welcome to the Forum Mark, this place adds another dimension to the hobby in my view Here's an interesting old sausage, albeit fairly common
  25. Paulus
    It shows up as you liking it 1949
