    The 1921 is more interesting because the flaws go under the lettering.

    About 50c a lbs

    Nice coins, the 1930 does worry me though. It looks like its been left in a glass of coke overnight.
  4. Gary1000
    Its been hit with a sharp edge, you can see the straight line where the edge stopped.

    Just think of bronze as being a very hard plastic, it will move if pushed. That's how the coin if formed in the first place. Plastic flow into the mould/die.

    Could be dipped then would not get any polish marks.

    Th edit function is time sensitive so has likely disappeared

    When counting I usually print it out A4 size and go around with a marker counting every 10, you don't lose count that way.

    I'd love that Gouby X. £300 it's not going to happen.

    I often have to remind my 21 year old son, Google is your friend.

    Money laundering?
  12. Gary1000
    Conversely do you tell a seller when they have a common coin they are trying to sell as a variety. There's a dealer on at the moment trying to sell a Goulby X which obviously isn't and he has dropped the price thinking it will shift. Mind you he could just be being dishonest.

    My way of thinking is that a piece of debris is traped, perhaps for one strike which forms mirco cracks in the die with the effect a bit like bullet hole in a glass window. A hole in the die then starts to form as the die starts to degrade over successive strikes leaving a progressively larger dot.
  15. Gary1000
    Also these dots can be progressive, I brought a 1946 penny with dot from ebay relying on the picture and when it arrived, no dot. Unfortunitly I sold it on but remembering back there was a roughness to the field where the dot would later form. I often wish I'd kept it now.

    I think as horse auctions the horses are still priced in Guineas.
  17. Gary1000
    I had a rare penny slabbed by CGS before putting it on ebay, the final price was still disappointing.
  18. Gary1000
    Yes I gave up doing a daily search about 2 years ago. Whilst it was about 80,000 it wasn't too bad but now it's around 115-120,000 it's just another 40,000 pieces of dross to look through. If you could get everyone to list correctly it wouldn't be so bad.

    £106, I think I paid about £180 for it about 5 years ago. The 3 1911 maundy coins also went for their opening bids. I was after the case when I bought them, it's just made the case a bit on the expensive side. Strangly all have gone overseas. I get the impression that unless it's something special ebay prices are quite deflated at present.
  20. Gary1000
    Shame to didn't bid but it's going to a good home, I think £50 is about right for that grade. Lost a lot on the 1902 crown.
  21. Gary1000
    I would say about right, the lion has lost his nose but there is very little other wear.
  22. Gary1000
    Nar probably just wind
  23. Gary1000
    I got a big shock Sunday at Midlands, Semra was there and she was smiling.
  24. Gary1000
    Looking at your two pennies I would have said worn die as looking at the other letters they are all flat or all wavy.
  25. Gary1000
    It's a variety so nothing to worry about from this forum.
