this sounds much more customer friendly

Would anyone agree? Payment should be after coin is slabbed and when you are happy - that would be best for both the coin owner and the service provider. It should only take one slabbing company to do this and they would just hoover up the customers

A resturant could argue the same while serving a sustandard meal A builder could do shoddy work and charge you full wack A shop could leave you waiting for your goods for six months and not even say sorry A company could deliver to the wrong address and still charge you for it An insurance company could leave you waiting years on a household claim A slabbing company could do the decent thing and at least tell the client why they will not slab his coin- it costs them nothing and he already has paid the slabbing fee

Not sure at all, the way most decent companies work is by charging you for work after they have done it to a certain standard that the buyer is happy with. If this happens in the slabbing world well and good , somehow I suspect it does not ......

Who would tool a coin in that grade anyway ? Takes a lot of imagination..........

I am surprised they don't charge £50 to invent something wrong with it , thats the way these companies work

Looks a yummy coin to me and i would love to own it . Only thing wrong is they are very rare in that date/grade 1886 might be a bit easyer. Tarnishing looks about right for a coin of that age .

Was cumming caught giving an away service then .......LOL

And if it looks bad to you , I am sure you would not have to travel far to find another person who considers it awful

THat pigs for the chop

oh s-h-i-t

Es el cerdo correcto

They should invent a term for that in numismatics. I would surgest "Cleaned at one time by some stupid bastard , now retoning but still mingin'."

The telletubbies might have a new recruit on that photo . What happened to the watch your weight lecture after he caught covid. There again who am I to talk lol . That picture above is wrong anywhere where is the £2000 a roll wallpaper?

The leather case was obviously the one to buy . Cardboard for the plebs , hey wait 75p each , I will have four , darn they are sold out.......

Ah a bit more like some of the terms that entered numismatics years ago like "Edgy" which might mean light damage ie edge knocks on a coin , that is certainly more used than many .

"wiped I consider a meaningless or even pointless term , why say it ?

With nazis in it? We have ways of making you laugh.............

I note that the 1845 large date farthing never sold - maybe £500- £700 was like I thought a very optimistic price esp with those heavy fees as well

I hardly think anyone even remembers this film . Mel brooks is the one for making us laugh at nazis in film it can be a sore subject.........

Yes the 1841 halfpennies have been a drag on the market for a few years now , there are less halfpenny collectors than farthing collectors but there again the farthings would have soon disappeared into nice collections because many collectors were putting up with substandard pieces I was lucky enough to buy a GEF 1834 the rare peck variety a few years ago for a song - it remains my best William farthing . Its a pity a few pennies were not included in the hoard they would have been highly sort after. I always thought victorian india had its own coins strange to find some GB issue
