Colin88 posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I received a copy of the Phoenix Newspaper which I hadnt seen for a long time..it got me asking the question again.....has anyone ever bought any of these massively overpriced items?....does anyone know of anyone who has bought any of these massively overpriced items?....Am I in the wrong business? -
Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?
Colin88 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've followed this up with Spink as a matter of interest as it was clear to anyone yet alone a professional cataloguer that it wasnt a mule .....they did say there had been an unusual sequence of events that led to this rare cataloguing error ...that the matter had beeen resolved correctly and satisfactoraily between the buyer and the seller...pity it wasnt the other way around ie described as an F10 but actually an F9 ...lol ! -
Import Tax, Customs & Excise, VAT on Coins
Colin88 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I take the default French view of politicians ... they are all liars, cheats, theives and adulterers ..and when they’re proved to be liars, cheats, theives abd adulterers .. they shrug their shoulders and say ... yeah, we knew that .... -
Import Tax, Customs & Excise, VAT on Coins
Colin88 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
For me its the bogus RM handling charge that really annoys me .a totally non refundable ransom charge -
Is there anything on here or anywhere that correlates US grading with UK grading.? For example what does say AU55 correspond to in the UK? I've seen what I consider to be UK VF coins and EF coins graded as AU55 ....and does the MSxx grade really mean Mint State? ....certainly I've seen MS61 and MS62 nothing like what I would consider to be UK UNC.... Thanks

I remember going to his shop when it was Michael Howard Coins ....in partnership with Laurence Howard? ..who had an extremely attractive Fench wife if I recall...or that might have been a teenage fantasy ??
-
Blimey ...I just asked if there was a UK v US grading equivalent....my first personal foray into TPG ...I just had a few coins graded by PCGS and I couldn't believe some of the grades that they came back with and it would certainly confuse the heck out many people here I'm sure ...AU55 (that's Almost Uncirculated?) I would grade as GVF in my case and MS61 (Mint State ?) as EF ...IMO I think it is still clearly a US v UK thing

OMG...don't talk about 'making a profit' on here ! ....

Dear Rob,
Are you the same Rob that bought some Numismatic Auction catalogues and letters from me at Shepperton Film Studios some while ago?
Apologies if you're not.

Hi Rob,
Im doing well and lucky enough to collect anything that I like the look of from 5 Guineas to hammered pennies and everthing inbetween...if there's anything nice that you ever think about selling do let me know.
Colin was / is my friend who set this up for me (I wasnt very IT lierate, still not ) ....the idiot that he is (in a good way) put his own name as a user id ....I sort of left it and to be fair it suited me from a security aspect ....people put up too much on these sites....I was mortified when you told me that the messages I had sent 'Stuntman' and 'RCL35' weren't private...
All the best
Lawrence

Hi....I dont want to put pictures up on this site but in Porsche's I've have a 993 Turbo and a 993 C2..had the engine totally rebuilt early on this year by Peter one of the ex RUF boys at GT1 in Chertsey.
A few other minor classics, TR3, Healey 3000 and I've just bought a Bill Richards Race prepared Healey Sprite....dont laugh !...its close to the 993 Turbo for fun around the track...
Did you go to the New Years day Classic at Brooklands or to any of the Goodwood events?
If you're actually a stuntman do you know Gary Powell at Pinewood Shepperton?
Best
Colin

Yep they did that with me too on an 1860 Mule Freeman 9 Penny ...came back as an ordinary F10 ...which I still have btw if anyone wants to buy it.

Interesting Ebay scam
Colin88 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
How do you do that....I mean set a up a legitimate Ebay account and a linked Paypal account then it all disappears completely ? As an aside, this afternoon I tried to get SKY to take off "Movies" from my package as it were....I suspect its much easier to buy industrial grade Plutonium on the street....and would get asked fewer questions I'm sure. -
As you say a £130 coin tops....can often be found in this grade too... The company are supposedly called London Coin Investments...they sound like another Westminster Mint / London Mint type outfit...

All I can say is thank god for Pam West (even if she is banknotes..) ...always a smile, always ready to chat, always sounds interested.....she should go around to all the coin dealers and show them how its done......

Baldwins and St James Unite
Colin88 replied to mhcoins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The £40m is assets Rob was mostly what they valued their stock at based on their own SG book values....which as we know the actual true market value of most stamps is about 10-20% of the SG book value....as opposed to it being any sort of remotely true reflection of market value ..unlike the Coins of England which more or less in most cases gives you a good indication of market value.
Where does that come from?
