    Nordle has caused me a problem now - Just when I thought i was getting to near complete my Edward VII penny collection he shows me another addition

    Muchas Gracias Amigo  :-)

    De nada y lo siento.

    Also, the blurb in the LCA bit mentions the following;

    "...possibly the only known example, we note similar in style to the lots 383 and 384 in the J.Tansley Collection DNW 28/9/2005 (realised £460 and £800 hammer price respectively), these two pieces on flans of 10.12 grammes and 10.25 grammes"

    Which eludes to 2 more examples of the one you were looking for.

    Interesting. If you have 3 and Paul has 3 then there might be more. Could you share pictures of your coins please?

    I don't think BCC has the same 3 that Paul has I think he's referring to a different error.

    However if they were not removed before being released to circulation there is most definitely more, unless the workers stand and stare at the coins as they come out (which they don't) there would have been more than just a handful struck.

    A clean overstrike but is it a V or an over Y and has anyone seen something similar? Y over Y is common but this definitely doesn't look like a Y over Y. Your thoughts please? Thanks! 

    Definitely Y over Y. The bars wouldn't meet at the bottom if they continued on their path, so it couldn't be a V.

    I don't imagine collectors will be very keen to supply sales data to dealers so that they can charge us the maximum ! We're all looking for bargains.

    Inversely, please do send your.. ahem.. figures.

    The UNC F139 in that last auction went for around  £100 iirc :ph34r: pm me Kip..

    As a dealer I have to discount the commission as it’s a cost. If a coin sells for £100 in an auction I get just £80 so I find its judicious to note the sale price less commission.

    Depends if, as a dealer, you sell all your stock through auction houses. If not then I wouldn't remove the commission because you're effectively reducing the price of the coin by 20%.

    Hi Nordle11,

    My original list was longer. I have combed through the sold prices of most auction sites and as a dealer I make a note of the most up to date prices, less commission. However the coins in the list that I have drafted have either not made it the major auction houses in the past 2 years, in which case the prices have become obsolete, or are not in an UNC grade.

    Thanks,
    K

    Then you've answered your own question really, there isn't much information on UNC grades for the ones you're looking for.

    Personally I wouldn't disregard prices over 2 years old for items that seldom come to market, they at least will give you an idea of the market. Also, as a bidder, when I make a purchase through an auction house I make my bid taking commission into account as I think a lot of others do, I don't think removing the commission price is giving you a true figure IMO. Especially so in the case of rarer items that receive much higher bids than your run-of-the-mill coins.

    I am a coin dealer who has a question for the bronze penny collectors do with pricing. For the following pennies does anyone have a guide price in UNC (US grading scale MS 63 plus)

    1874 F67 6+H,

    1875 F79 8+G,

    1876H F87 8+J,

    1878 F94 8+J,

    1881 F102 9+J,

    1881 F105 10+J,

    1881 F106 11+J,

    1882H 12+M F114 and

    1895 F139 1+A.

    I have a copy of SPINK so it's not the book price I am after but a guide price from recent sales that people have been following.

    Hi Kip, best bet is check auction archives like www.londoncoins.com or www.spink.com.

    That's a long list of coins for people to dig through their notes. You might get lucky though!
