Hi all is the estimate about right it seems a bit low to me,i just dont want to wait for this at the auction to find the price is nearer £1500 as there are other lots before this comes up i would like ta http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/london-coins/catalogue-id-2880902/lot-18920961

Dipping bronze and copper : S Failure to understand or adjust camera's White Balance : C7 Nuff said i'm guessing as these people take photos of coins on a hourly basis (my guess) their set up will be spot on

Hi all i've been doing shed loads of overtime lately and therefor got a fair bit of spending money And the only thing my old man told me which was any use was "dont live on overtime money spend it on luxuries" So as i collect 1837 onward pennies what one should i really push the boat out for cheers all

Looking to get as near a complete date run hopefully i can get a few more unc coins. John has a nice 73 on his site i have an eye on but need to get to a show ? Just too much work atm?

Sorry about the poor pics the detail is correct but there is a fair bit more lustre im not sure if it grades as VF or EF

Sellers pics http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Great-Britain-One-Penny-1894-Victoria-GOOD-/221254987640?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=1It6H5%252FIcqtAKtSBjcZ1W6IRCmo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

and the reverse

Read a fair bit about this but what exactly has happened i would have thought isf the dies had hit each other they would have been seriously damaged

They are a bit special nicholas

Im grading it EF on the reverse and aunc on the obverse , and Ben it wasn't really dirty thats where the lustre has toned I'm happy i now have a 175 wide date,narrow date and 'H' (ok the 'H' is no better than gvf)

On the subject of sheep What is a sheep tied to a lampost in Wales called ? An entertainment centre

I would of thought a proof of this kind would have some provenance as well

I'm in finally

Do nothing to the coin by way of cleaning. I'd pay £200

Stunning coin. Makes my flea bitten stuff look manky

Nice penny One day (sigh) one day This time next year... In my dreams

Congrats to all, going by the coins on this thread there were some very nice pieces:)

Nice penny One day (sigh) one day

The question i tend to ask on ebay is "Has the coin been cleaned ?" .Its more of a catch all rather than "have you cleaned the coin ?"

Was 69 the boom time for coins or was this a one of £7 must have been alot of money back then i was only 3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EDWARD-VII-1902-SILVER-SHILLING-/400394517107?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item5d395f7a73 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1910-EDWARD-VII-SILVER-FLORIN-/400394711544?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item5d396271f8

I kew that why did i say 24 when i meant 48 must be the wine

Talking of 20p - I saw recently that among the early 60s patterns for decimal coins, not only was there a 1/4p, there was a 20p too. Makes you wonder why it didn't make it until 1982 and wasn't introduced in 1971. Maybe the experience of the Double Florin was haunting them! Long memories! Mind you, it wasn't exactly as if florins were "that there new fangled thang" anymore. I sometimes like to hold a Double Florin in one hand and a 20p in the other just to remind myself that they are the same denomination. Yes - not quite a sov versus brass £1 comparison is it? Err wabn't a double florin worth 24p

Well he's honest http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Uncleaned-1900-Queen-Victoria-Penny-See-pic-B11-See-listing-/181112902686?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D6612391402003154535%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D181112902686%26
