    Nice coins, the 1930 does worry me though. It looks like its been left in a glass of coke overnight.
  3. 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.

    Money laundering?
  10. 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.
  13. 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.
  15. Gary1000
    I had a rare penny slabbed by CGS before putting it on ebay, the final price was still disappointing.

    I would say about right, the lion has lost his nose but there is very little other wear.

    Nar probably just wind

    I got a big shock Sunday at Midlands, Semra was there and she was smiling.
  19. 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.
  20. Gary1000
    It sounds as though it's been minted without the collar. May have a small value if you can find someone interested in such things.
  21. Gary1000
    Whaaaat... Do you have a comparison pic? I've not heard of the wide 2 1902 before Ok to save someone stating the odvious, yes the picture is of the 1/2 penny but it shows the difference between the normal and wide 2 penny. The 2 is over a space on the wide 2. I'm at work and only have this picture on file.
  22. Gary1000
    Yes nice coin, now all you need to find now is the wide 2 variety

    Customs duty should be 0% but there is 5% VAT. If there is any doubt RM makes it 20% VAT
  24. Gary1000
    Not been on here much laterly so I only just come across this, Oh shit I'm sorry to hear this.
  25. Gary1000
    If you put in an odd value then creep up in £1 increments the next bid increment before before you reach the highest bid will be an odd increment so you can tell what the highest bid is before exceeding it. You can then sit below it and not panic the highest bidder.
