  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. Thank you for your reply
  4. 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 ?.
  5. Glad you got .....ONE.... Matt
  6. Enjoy yourself and have a good time. If i had to decide on the midland coin fair or Rome.........Well
  7. Nice introduction
  8. Auction now online
  9. Should of said they will disagree with my opinion
  10. Most will probably disagree Jerry ,but would sooner say my bit.
  11. Will leave it as that coinery......I personally will never use it ,you will
  12. I have read this forum almost daily for three years.. When i gave an opinion that is what it was. If i spilt red wine on the carpet ,yes i would clean it .....i am not some kind of tramp. I dont ....atleast most of the time spill red wine on coins ,so dont have to clean them. Months ago i would of agreed with you but no longer. Do you see any results from coins you put acetone on ten years ago You carry on using it.........i wont. Your statement of complete and utter rubbish i dont consider to be fair and just your opinion. You keep cleaning them ,which is what your doing........and i will look after the carpet Pete.
  13. Jerry ,just my little bit and only my opinion. Acetone leaves a chemical residue that is there and that i have no doubt. When i mentioned water it was a bad example i.e. distilled water gently over the slight marks within any high points on only low grade coins. ACETONE should not be used at all ,and WILL SHOW ....If its an expensive coin leave Acetone well alone. Pete.
  14. Everyone to there own and would like to say..... If you put a chemical on a coin(not a toothpick,flick something off) then why do it. It is done to enhance a coin from its natural state. I can only comment on pennies(not hammered etc.) this is IMO cleaning ,else why do it ?. The Chemical is applied to do a job clean it and the Chemical is left and will not disperse and (of which it was only applied for) will still show. If you put water on a coin it will dull the tone /lustre but not show over time and can understand ,if you put acetone,acid,any cleaning agent .....Then its CLEANED If the buyer/seller are both happy then as always it does not matter This is only my opinion ...... If a coin is ok acetone would not of been put on in the first place ,but will still show. Never dip a valuable coin in ACETONE. Pete.
  15. Think you mentioned an important issue ,they are now cleaned. I think unless really low grade and varieties you want to keep most are better left alone.
  16. You keep coming up with some interesting coins Terry Good buy
  17. I am just getting used to turning it on
  18. Just spotted on Richards fantastic site another Chingford variety. I believe Chingford was the first to spot this one (tricky as i mentioned before ). Mine is not the best as only bought it for the Reverse A .......Extra line on shield. Its CGS 34619
  19. Sorry Prax just noticed you had weighed it ,really interested and forgot your original post.
  20. Yes thats what made me think when one sold on ebay it was tooled Richard.
  21. Is yours the same diameter please Richard. Also Prax have you weighed it mate ?. The diameter ,weight and composition are surely the attribution. I still think looking at the edge its copper,but the coin is bronze .....which would make me assume its not right ?. Unless a coin was struck on a blank around the same time with the same weight..........but i cant think or know of one. Not another mention i can find anywere makes note of a sample or any pattern of this year. I am not the expert and find really interesting but have doubts. Pete.
  22. I did have one and yes they are rare. Its in the envelope i am posting you tommorrow
  23. Hat off Mike. Two good buys for years always sought after
  24. The edge looks copper ,but the coin looks possibly cleaned bronze. Might be well off the mark but still an interesting coin. Pete
