Just curious what happened to the heritage(uk) colab. They took years to reply to my emails so avoided sending things through them to slab.
-
just read the announcement and PWA is correct and it seems to be spink will be taking the reigns in sort, the submission centre is in the spink building but my understanding not open yet.
-
A dedicated NGC submission centre opens in the UK later in may if you can hold out a month

rpeddie replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
my interpretation of it is: if only 1 side frosted=CAM if both sides frosted+contrast=DCAM Both of these imply frosting on either side, this way just breaks it down as to whether one or both sides are frosted, i think the CAM designation is more important for coins that were produced before the 60's? -

rpeddie replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
" CAM and DCAM refer specifically to the degree of contrast between the frosted design and the reflectivity of the proof fields. Proof coins that have both reverse and obverse designs that are highly frosted and contrast strongly with highly reflective fields are described as DCAM. Where the proof fields are highly reflective but the design is not frosted or frosted on only one side of the coin, PCGS assigns a CAM designation to the coin " -
I want to believe you did all that from memory
-
what puts me off a bit was that "tyrants" collection that has appeared. I remember watching a few of those coins in sales in the last few years and cant help but feel that sort of collections like this as well as less visible stanley gibbon types are over inflating the prices of these and ending up getting stung i the end.

Looking through the pattern gold book earlier to find the coin in question, i do agree i would snap up 95% of these if i could afford them prioritising things I would love one of the 1920's gold strikes if i could ever muster up enough
-
damn, someone didn't look after that on. Depending on what the OBV looks like im gonna go for PF61ish. If this came up in an auction I don't think i would have opened it in another tab its so bad
-
Sorry, should have added, the above image was from "English pattern trial and proof coins in gold" by Alex Wilson and Mark Rasmussen. So correct the above would be the gold version
-
but on the same regard, i don't want to oversee the coin, don't blast it white on photoshop
-
get them while they are hot everyone
-
if described correctly this would be a baadjun
-
£8-10k are for ungraded ones, i've been on the lookout for a good set that would be worth grading for a 65+ and its tough to find one.
-
still don't fully understand why he blasts his images like that
-
its definitely a lot better than my 1926 ME
-
id say it can get an easy MS63 if your going down that route, possibly enough lustre to give it a RB designation too.
-
problem is pretty much as seen on this forum, alot of the right people did not see it in time or didnt pick up on it
-
ill plug declan's site as used it earlier today to double check this one Link
-
yea i valued it around about £1200-£1500, spent too much already this month couldn't afford to go higher but a good purchase for whoever got it
-
anyone here the lucky winner? i gave it a bid but didn't win unfortunately
