  1. Cheers all I know its not the proof set I've learnt that much
  2. Got a 1953 set being delivered as below, im keeping the penny anything else worth keeping or looking for http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PROOF-COIN-SET-ELIZABETH-II-1953-/200887423399?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=KJXAeqZCnYGykM01PHfXoLS8Q9A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
  3. I missed out on a BU 1905. Had a great strike as well. Went for £103 my max was £100 which i thought was top end
  4. I think both your 1906 & 7 are definitely better than average. The reverses of mine are truly awful, with typically shallow relief and very little detail to Britannia. Every now and then I look for something better, in fact I think there may be one on eBay at the moment, but haven't got around to upgrading yet. Paws
  5. Anyway we shouldnt be talking about Eddies pennies till monday there mine (hopefully)
  6. No Ads on Sky F1 during the race,and i cant think of there being many breaks for ads at all:)
  7. Such a tiny thing to spot
  8. I was the under bidder on the 1894 which went to the person a dealer i think,who bought most of the good stuff more fish in the sea so i bought a cheap florin of Derek
  9. I woud like to know the percentage of auctions won with bids in first minute compare to bids in last seconds
  10. Auction hoses postal charges,one recently wanted to charge me £5 postage plus £5.90 special delivery for a one penny coin
  11. The advantage of the sniper is you stop people rebidding.I see it constantly on ebay,this coin is an example of people coming back to rebid.Just about anything of quality on ebay is won with a snipe bid
  12. Close call ~ bad luck !!! edit: may have been a tactical error on your part to show your hand so early. I bet if you'd put in a last few seconds snipe you'd have got it at a much lower price. No doubt c***r made a manual snipe with 4 seconds to go. You're right.... But I was out for dinner and I can't really sit in a restaurant bidding If you use a sniper,Goofbay has a free one, set ur bid days in advance to snipe in last 5 secs
  13. Just got a nice little bonus A pay rise then a promotion and another rise All in one day, just had to share yep just done the lotto as well
  14. Thats very ornate for a plain trident
  15. If you start collecting copper/ bronze which you have you need this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Bronze-Coinage-Great-Britain/dp/1902040783/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1358960148&sr=8-3
  16. Been puzzling me for a while why did they bother to overstamp dates
  17. Im still getting to grips with freeman, to me it loses itself at around 1880 and recovers in 1882 Well thats my excuse and Im sticking to it Hope she gets good money for her coins most ive seen have made good money
  18. Wish you lot would stop looking at "my" coins
  19. So what was so specvial about this coin to drive the price up http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1881-penny-/121052766486?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=ZdG4qlEy4WfHlbourDj0ur%252FEsj0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
