    No its not for taking pictures or using with a computer. Just a nice large hand held one with An LED light with a couple of batteries. Nothing fantastic but much better than a loupe IMO easier to view with the large lens. The one linked to a computer that i have found best value for the money is the andonstar one for about £40/£50 I now a couple of people can recommend others but they are closer to £1k Thats more for close ups a microscope and will allow you to take and edit pictures of overdates etc. But not any use for a full coin. Pete.

    Received yesterday a nice magnifier. Big lens LED light and 10x magnification. Its hand held big and easier to use than a loupe. They are on amazon as...... Reading magnifier . 10 x 75 MM LED with two batteries . One of the sellers is 1 dealeben (i dont have a clue who he is ) just used him as an example who is selling them. About £10.99 but really good and large ,perfect for home use. I am not selling them but worth a look at. Pete.

    Hi Ian.

    Small florescent dots as on both sides of the 1902 penny you bought are signs of live verd of which only a couple will be detrimental should you decide to sell.

    They are probably easily removed and of no concern but better to look out for.

    If a couple of dots show (live)it is always having a look at the remainder of the coin before buying.

    The live verd may now only show as spots but the remainder may have left / leave corrosion.

    Oxidisation and poor storage will leave a green tinge or colour.

    On common coins such as the 1902 better left alone.

    Its a lovely coin but take note if you start spending over £50 on another date for one.

    Pete.

    It may not be verd/corrosion but a common date and sometimes you see coins stored that show signs of blue (on bronze ) mainly from pvc ,chemicals or tinges of verd (green/bright) that will show under a bright light. Hope i have not put you off as a lovely coin for the money. Be lucky. Pete.

    Its a lovely coin and for the money was a good buy Its only my opinion and thats all...... so maybe i am being picky,i dont have it in hand. A lot of the reverse does not just look like dirt and thats my only question. On the reverse between the P in penny and the tide line ,just wondered what was going on ?. Its a nice coin for the money though ,so maybe just me Happy collecting and just wrapped the FOC penny up..... and will post tomorrow Pete.
  13. PWA 1967
    IAN its definately AUNC ....IMO But you have the coin in hand Being Honest mate on the larger pictures may not of been stored brilliantly,but still nice. But if you paid the right money thats the main thing
  14. PWA 1967
    Nice coin Ian
  15. PWA 1967
    Happy hunting mate. Its nice when you find one that is different. Be lucky and keep smiling. Pete.

    Brian. When you start looking at most copper pennies closely they all/most have differences and have been recut or different. The scarcer ones are more obvious such as on Richards site of which the time well spent looking. This means they are easier to spot on Ebay pictures etc. Pete.

    Again cant get rid of this................ Matt. Gary schindler will point you to the thread on this forum or help. He has a couple. Pete
  18. PWA 1967
    Alfnail knows his coppers and some quality pictures
  19. PWA 1967
    To be honest....and i am being A couple i will buy ,prepared to pay well over the odds. The proofs dont do anything for me ...so i am out. If i bought one proof would then be spending time and money looking for all of them Thats about it really . Pete.

    Thanks Prax. Not sure about Boothy having .......purchased the 1827...... or even Davies being the under bidder. That is not really important. Your post is interesting and thank you again Good luck on any bids you might make.
  21. PWA 1967
    Thats something i have heard before You may have given up with the idea and due to the customer service no longer interested although they have been busy with the auction and London coin fair. Not making excuses for bad customer service,but i just phone up as often easier. Alternatively if you phone up and ask for Paul you can have a chat and explain what you want
  22. PWA 1967
    Thank you for your reply
  23. PWA 1967
    Not having collected pennies at the time ,were a lot bought by the same few people or in your opinion were there still a lot of collectors as today or more. I would be interested if coins were bought by people who you still see ,alternatively have really good collections and not prepared to pay over the odds for the odd one. Its a wide open question ,but do you still see the same collectors from ten years ago ?.
  24. PWA 1967
    Glad you got .....ONE.... Matt
  25. PWA 1967
