Welcome Nemo. Probably the best bet is to head down to your bank and ask for them, they should oblige.
If you get them elsewhere you might find that you pay more than 2p for a 2p

Could be a end of life die then, is that line going across it raised?

Since my coins visit to CGS , it has been toning very well, and its locked in a safe in the dark (but nice and warm as its the server room)
@Sword My coin has the same toning as the top part of yours, was it all that that to start with ?
Your server room should be freezing cold, not warm..

Nice errors Brian
I especially like the florin
Is the reverse on the halfpenny flush to the surface or is the coin bent?

Hope not, but I had a run in with him a while back for a dodgy description, he blocked my attempt to buy this one today. Fingers crossed for you
Jesus, blink and you'll miss it. I think it had had 3 or 4 views on the counter when I bought it, you must've searched just as it was listed!
I'll report back when it gets here, sorry he blocked you're attempt

Sorry Mike, because you edited it, it didn't show as a new post and I completely missed it

OK, thanks Matt. I appreciate your time and trouble. I'll try something else. Hadn't realised imageshack was a problem with forums.
Does this show?
Indeed it does
Tinypic?

Thanks Jac. I've just been told that this seller sometimes re-uses photos, so we shall see what actually turns up

A nice surprise earlier today, thought I'd do a quick check on the newly listed and this was the newest listing -
£3.25 BIN with free postage to Spain, bonus!

Thank you nordle!! I'm looking forward to the challenge as there is much to be done in getting Baldwins back on course but I believe things will only get better!! Ofcourse you are all welcome to come in if you are down in London!! I would also like to re-iterate that Colin Cooke will carry on with business as usual and lee will continue to run the firm with the same standards and values!!
Nice of you to poke your head in Neil! But really, congratulations and every bit of luck in your endeavours, if you weren't already drowning in coins you certainly will be now
lol
-
Heard about this recently, a big step up and definitely a congratulations in order for Neil. Exciting times ahead for him.

You may as well do the grading abbreviations (G through to FDC - although single letters may not work, so perhaps GF - FDC), ANACS, BNTA ... I'll think of others, for when you're at a loose end
I'm assuming ANACS is American Numismatic Association Coin Service, but it's proving quite difficult to confirm
-
Great minds, Paul! I tried and unfortunately you do get the lines on individual letters. I did think about it for 10 minutes or so but couldn't think of a way to add grades without a letter in every other word flagging up lol. F, EF, UNC are the offenders.
ANACS and BTNA are good ones, adding them now!
Thanks

Good one Matt, you could also add a short link to the initials TPG!
Edit - ah, you have!
Keep the suggestions coming though, I'll add them as and when

I've just noticed that my first post on your bank token has now CGS underlined also, it wasn't like that when i posted the comment though, so something has suddenly changed
CGS LCGS NGC PCGS
I made them all short links so if you hover over them it shows you what that means. Common sense to all the regulars, but when I started it wasn't so easy learning the names of the TPGs etc. Just thought it would help newer members.
-
Gotcha, my mistake. So is this a rejected picture Paulus or did it grade ok?
-
What that why it was rejected? I thought it was because of the scratch (which Swanny says wasn't there before he sent it).
It's a really nice token though Paul

I'm afraid we need a bit more than 10 minutes notice, so missed it.
There is going to be a rip-off Britain program on 'investment' coins some time soon, but don't know when. I declined to take part on the ground that the programme title precluded objectivity. I don't have access to the BBC's schedule.
It was more a time-stamp so you could look back on BBC iPlayer, but glad a few people got it at the time.
It was pretty interesting to see, although I was expecting them to pull out 4, 5, 6+ fakes from £2,500 worth of £2 coins and not just the one.
-
What Peter said! Pictures are a must to give you any information on value really.
-
There's a segment on bbc 1 in the next 10 minutes about the most advanced fake 2 pound coin ever seen, might be of some interest.

Looks not unreasonable (like that assessment?). A bit like a couple I have; can't remember, but there is a name for the effect seen where details start to, well, mush out and toward the defect. The apparent radius of smaller clips should tend to be INCREASED slightly as per the clip at 4 o'clock as the center is deflected slightly more outward than the apices at either end - if that makes sense.
I vote that its the real deal with only nominal value. If pressed, I'd say maybe 10 quid or so if the crud and fingermarks cleaned up with a bit of acetone (i'm not a buyer!).
I think it's called the Blakesley effect (?) it should 'mush out' the side opposite to the clip. Looks genuine to me too, the beading is faded around the clips which is a good indicator, and if you've already tested and another 10p fits into the clip nicely, I wouldn't hesitate to say a mint error. Couldn't disagree with VS' value, around 5-10 quid sounds about right.

So I've done that and I can still see the image. Even more bizarrely I can see it on my phone whilst logged out of PD and there is no possible connection between me and imageshack on there as I use a different e mail address and rely on 4G, not a PC server. I just don't get it, although there has to be a logical explanation.
Found some interesting information regarding Imageshack - it's basically the Windows Vista of image hosting sites and a lot of forums have problems trying to see pictures hosted by them. I know that's a pain in the ass but I think the solution is to use the add attachment or another image host. Sorry Mike.
