[The Copthorne collection of pennies]

Well, I assume a typo as it's now without bids.

[The Copthorne collection of pennies]

Some of the bids are starting to be added to the site now. I have one question, why has lot 140 been sold already? Or is it a typo?

No 1904s Pete. I have a 4 to tooth but it's not as slanted as Steve's one. Somewhere between his and the normal variety

Here look at Dave's post

1904 4 points to tooth?

what the?

 

There's a thread in the forum about it, more than just the 2 types where the four is placed

Re-opened and locked.

[Royal Mint]

Yeah I've heard, but I'm in no rush anyway. By the looks of it the service seems to allow pictures and dimensions to be sent so I'll probably send in as much information and photos as I can then see what they say, before posting them the actual coin

[Royal Mint]

Many thanks Rob.

[Royal Mint]

Can anyone post the address for sending coins for verification/more information to the RM please? Also if anything else is needed in a cover letter like a reference etc.

Thanks

The joy of coin collecting Dave, save up a bit of money and keep on searching, you'll find one eventually. The longer it takes the more you'll appreciate it when you finally get it

[My questions have dissapperaed]

Dave I moved the topic to the decimal coins section, as it's a decimal question. Have a look there

[Help needed capital cities £1 coins]

Hi Dave, do you mean the 4 UK £1 coins? i.e Oak & rose, leek & daffodil etc. I'm not sure on the capital city ones?

Also don't be embarrassed about budget, it's always in state a flux. You shouldn't have to fork out much for them either.

Oh, and welcome to the forum  

[Half crown run]

If they're of a good quality, don't sell them on eBay. Send them to an auction house.

If you are dead set on going through eBay, sell them individually.

[clogs, die faults, et al.]

Agreed, however tell that to whoever bought the 1934 from the Workman collection for £500  

[London Coins June Auction]

 That is rather appealing. Plus when you put the pictures like that, it looks like Georgie likes it too.

Struck, then struck again 

[Is this a good buy?]

That's not bad, as long as 90% of them aren't Elizabeth II coins. Will give you something to do for quite a while. I wouldn't hesitate to pay 50 odd quid for 15kg of coins.

[The Copthorne collection of pennies]

Thanks for sharing Mike, bids will be sent tomorrow then!  

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

Still nice Jerry, the patina looks good on the F77.

Although I thought buying coins to upgrade later was a no-no 

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

£8 on eBay. Not sure I'll actually find a better one, definitely not for that price.

[clogs, die faults, et al.]

Yep post mint

[Realistic or unrealistic auction site prices]

I will take it Rob picture pending if you can send me a photo or put one up here

[The Copthorne collection of pennies]

That's what he says on the site, that they will be for sale at the lower estimate.

[The Copthorne collection of pennies]

Question - Can you make a bid lower than the low estimate? It says that items with no bids will go up for sale at their low estimate after the auction. I'm not saying put a fiver on everything and if no-one bids you'll win it for that much, but say something has a low estimate of 200, can you put down 150 to start things off?
