Definitely not wrong, been stung a few times like that when the picture is tilted!

Sadly there are far too many folk recognising unattributed varieties these days
I was following this too and put in a tentative (failed) snipe on the off-chance it wasn't spotted, didn't go further as it was not a real improvement on my existing example.
There's a newly listed one on Ebay here
That ones Bob's I believe
The one that Brian was bidding on I would probably value about 150-200 as its a little bit better than the usual, I wouldn't have been miffed to get it around that price.

Well spotted Brian and unlucky.
Unfortunately you can be pretty much gauranteed someone else will spot them
Spotted by 6 people, definitely always difficult

Tough luck Brian, but well spotted, far better condition than most. I totally missed it, otherwise it would have gone even higher! I always check the 1911's that pop up on my search, gonna have to work out what happened, as it looks clear in the pics. ☹️

Yeah that finished quite cheap considering the grade. A good buy for whoever got that.

In poor taste John, not inappropriate.

Good eye Brian but hard luck
what did it end up on out of interest?

Yawn!
That was a bit unfair, I didn't expect that from you
as John says the whole point of a forum is to discuss, he made a good point on the subject and your retort was in poor taste.

That's my problem because they pop out and straight onto the floor

You'll get them out one day, I'll bet on it
Quadrums I do like, but find it hard getting the coin out easily without touching either face, because the edges are held in the foam. Although they do hold a coin nicely. I prefer lighthouse capsules, mainly because of the trays I've got though.

The difference between CGS and NGC/PCGS - as I understand it and I could be wrong - is that NGC/PCGS offer the verification service for free and CGS does not. In other words, if you know the certificate number of the coin, you can go on the NGC or PCGS site and look it up. That gives the buyer independent verification before he/she buys the coin.
If you are in the USA - as I and a couple of others are - having the coin slabbed and graded offers greater liquidity. In other words, a raw or uncertified coin is much harder to sell and will probably sell for a lower value simply because it has not been certified. I accept that this is not the case in the UK or other markets as yet. Whether that changes over the coming years remains to be seen.
And, of course, some see the protective value of the slab as desirable.
No you're not wrong, although I'm thinking pre-changes as that's when Paul originally sent his coins out. Before they merged with LCA the verification service was free and available to all, however it's a £99 fee to use this service now. This is definitely one of the biggest 'shoot yourself in the foot' moves from them because they're effectively rendering themselves a member only club, which at the moment doesn't have a big enough customer base to warrant being member only. I buy a few CGS slabbed coins here and there and looking them up using the UIN was such a great tool, I probably would even pay a little for it but definitely not £99 just to view coins.
You're probably right too Alan, I bet insurers love pre slabbed collections, especially ones where you can look up the value.

most dealers would do this for free.
and wouldn't take them 3 - 4 months either to give you them back
Of course, I mean most of us on here already do that for people who post anyway, but I think you're too knowledgable on the subject. What I mean is that you know your coins/grades/dealers/TPGs etc, but for someone who is relatively new and they don't know dealers or collectors who they can trust, what do you do? TPGs are great for that and that's basically what Paul's saying. Don't get me wrong Alan, I wouldn't use a TPG because I don't need to, I also break out slabbed coins because they don't fit in the collection, but I can see the benefit.
RE the waiting time, definitely it's far too long. If I had to slab, the waiting time would stop me from submitting to CGS.

LCEECGS I believe

Paul does make a valid point, he wants a service that can verify his coins as he's buying them, further confirming his assumption of grades and of problem free coins, and that CGS at the time were the cheapest. If there is any real reason to slab a coin aside from trying to increase it's value, this is it!
It's no different to having a car check service - you pay for someone to confirm that the car is problem free and not hiding anything you can't see easily, the value doesn't increase on the car but you're paying for the verification and peace of mind.

I moved it to the TPG discussions section, seemed more apt.
Oh and £499.... ARE THEY HAVING A LAUGH?

Any ideas Matt?No ideas! It's something Chris has to look at, I also get the same errors trying to amend my profile, or anyone else's either..

Some thorough work there, Ian.
Thinking out loud... it could be that the letter punch itself was damaged, each successive use chipping away at that tail? It would explain why on each hub the digits have almost the exact same damage on both 4s. It does seem strange that all of the 4s match and there is no discrepancy between the two..

That's decent holiday time, luckily we get 28 here and 12 bank holidays, but I think the standard is around 23 in Spain.
So all-in-all you've got about about 60 days holiday
not bad

Your pictures are much better than the sellers. That tone though... Yes please.

Excellent new images! Much more detail, the obverse is especially nicer in the new photos.

Nice little loss made there, it will be back sometime or other, it was his wife' eBay name that won it.....
Thought as much. Can you still see who won it through a flaw on the iPad (if I remember correctly you saying something like that)?
Is there anybody out there?
in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!

Stunning views, you'd be forgiven to think that was Canada..
