1860 Bronzed Proof Penny
Nordle11 replied to cathrine's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Seconded, the coins are always superb however the prices a little too high for my liking. -
Do you have a picture you can share?
-
If you have the time Ian, buy some cheap cleaning supplies and get to work on some crappy QEIIs, you'll get to know what they look like using different methods and also the limits of cleaning a coin. Here's a pic of one I had where you can see around the legends where it was cleaned a while ago, it has that 'halo' look to it which you just don't get from natural toning.
-
I knew I had seen that coin somewhere! Thanks, that was niggling at the back of my mind
-
Fully agree with you there. Sometimes one forgets that people don't necessarily know what you're talking about (especially when it's your area of knowledge) and it's unintentionally assumed, but if you see any like that, question it like you did someone will hopefully elaborate.

I'd guess he's referring to the dark red colour. However I don't think it is and I'd have faith in Mike's opinion as he has the coin in hand and is a seasoned collector.
-
Sounds good to me, cheers Pete I've still got a ton of penny stuff to photocopy from these coin monthlies I've got. I haven't forgot you all, those who have asked for a copy, I'm just lazy is all

I'd go as far as 04, 05, 06, 07, sometimes the 09 is a bit mulshy too. There's a stark contrast in quality from the design change using the veiled head to Eddy's bust, they really couldn't get their heads around it for many years after.
-
Yep, one and the same. Good guy too, he accidentally sent my coin to someone else (who had also bought something) but went out his way to make sure he got it back and then offered it back to me after refunding for the initial mix up. Was very glad he did too

From France?
-
That bidder's history is also a bit dodgy... 12 bids on one item, 17 bids on another, 18 on another and 50 on what I guess is this one. ..and 5 retracted bids in the last 6 months.. I think I've retracted one or two since I joined years ago.
-
No sh**, Sherlock.
-
Hmm, well clearly not N over Z (and anyone who is spending 400 quid on one surely knows what they look like). Plus even if it was, it shouldn't be this high. Looks like it's had an olive oil bath.
-
I like that the newspaper ripping has the full date on the top, nice touch.
-
Probably
-
The 'D:G:' doesn't look like the norm to me. What's the die combo (save me spending an hour trying to work it out, too many 1860s)? I know you know it

One of the nicest coins in my collection I bought from a chap in France who says that, at the time (in 1909) his grandad went to the bank and changed up for various denominations, then wrapped a few mint examples in silk(?) pouches and tucked them away. The penny I bought from him was one of those hidden away since that day, and it's a true stunner. I guess even coins in collections are prone being moved around, touched, breathed on etc..
-
Well spotted and removed John. This seller also has a habit of listing slabbed CGS coins that have been rejected, however without noting the rejection and cutting the top of the slab off in the picture so you cannot see the 'rejected' note. The only giveaway is being able to see a small part of the sticker, which on rejected slabs are yellow I believe.
-
The seller is one of those pain-in-the-arse people who just jump from excuse to problem, always better to steer well clear from people like this.
-
If you've got any penny related?

Penny Acquisition of the week
Nordle11 replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I remember buying a 1929 off you but at the time I had 4 of them I think and I couldn't remember which I think I even asked if you knew which was yours lol. -
Seconded
-
Shhh, don't tell Henry that, he really seems to want this thread gone.
-
Hehe, indeed he should If you're doing any specific searches relating to coins, usually a link or two will pop up that come to the forum. For example, 'Gouby X' brings up the forum as the top link.

Perhaps Rob's lovely link is being indexed by Google a lot higher than Henry wanted
