4 coins won at LCA in the last 2 years, all at my max bids, the main reason I only like bidding live. Having said that, I was pleased with all 4 coins.

"You must pay a final value fee if you manage to sell your item. That’s 10% of your sale price, including postage. The final value fee is capped at £250. To work out 10%, divide your final price by 100 and times it by 10." Or, simply divide by 10, surely!

Is there a Bronze book other than the standard Freeman/Gouby/Peck/Satin? The Identification of British 20th Century Bronze Coin Varieties Paperback – 16 Oct 2009by David J. Groom

Hey Clive, hope you're having a good one

Nil desperandum Rob, still many hours to go! This is how it will look when you finally get through, with a 'Login to bid' button next to each lot:

Oh, ok, thanks

Yep. That's 10pm UK time, but the British are 300 lots in. No idea what that is in Oz time Actually PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) is 8 hours behind British Summer Time, which would indicate a start of 6pm UK time. Melbourne is currently 9 hours ahead of UK time, so that would be a 3am start tomorrow for Nicholas (I believe)

Visicalc on a Commodore Pet is my first memory on a 'personal' computer (1984)

I can confirm that accessing this site with Google Chrome works just fine for me, is it lot 3783 that's sparked your interest Rob?

That's pretty extreme Rob, would be a proud owner though!

2 more nicely toned Viccies

Love it when the over-strikes are so clear, sometimes it seems to require a leap of faith to accept what the seller is suggesting (I've opted out of those varieties so no longer bothered)

No idea why we have chosen to have separate threads for hammered(my fault), silver (my fault), copper and bronze, and for acquisitions of the week, but I guess it helps (a little) to find stuff you are interested in! My comment was about milled, where there is some uniformity, but as I've said I am becoming more interested in hammered (a MASSIVE, subject of course, so baby steps for me, James I and Liz next). Rob, I would be disappointed if at some point you didn't publish some of your vast collection and knowledge

You have a very interesting coin collection Rob, and one well worth presenting some how, some day! I know photographing coins frustrates you at times, as it does me, and many others, but how do you, personally, take pleasure from perusing your collection? Is it very often from viewing pics, of varying quality and accuracy of likeness, or do you regularly view your coins 'in hand'? I'm really interested in your (and other's) views on this, if a collection has to be stored away in a bank vault (for example), then are you only left with the pics, many of which you wish were of better quality?

That's more up my street, early hammered has yet to float my boat. The history in these Charles I civil war issues, well that's something else. An Oxford is on my wants list

Thanks Rob! Boy, there can't be many of them about!

Just been drooling over the amazing coin porn in this thread again. Worth revisiting time after time for the stunning examples and quality photography Here's another of mine, partly just to re-promote the thread!

Stunning coin Ozjohn, and great pics too

New pics of a coin I've had for a while but not posted on here before. Beautifully toned and one of my favourite reverse designs:

I am surprised that there have been no comments on this so far, are people not finding a significant difference in the grades of these 2 coins that have been graded identically by CGS? One of the main concerns around TPGs is their consistency and objectivity ...

I 'randomly' selected one of your videos to watch and my random video selection app picked the sex supermarket one, thanks for the post

Amusing guidance post on the eBay web site! link Not sure if it's accurate, or out-of-date, since their rules seem to constantly change. Can't see a disclaimer stating that the content does not reflect the views of eBay themselves, but it contains advice such as 'never bid until there is less than an hour to go'!

link Could be where the 'seller' got their pic from ...

Good point. It's not the same pic as on the NGC verification site though (although it does look like the same coin), and he could have easily nicked the pic of the reverse as well had he gone there ... Spink £2250 in VF
