PWA 1967

Interesting question i mentioned to a forum member the other day. I have a 1862 halfpenny date its in fine so a lot better than a washer but has a spot of corrosion/verd. Would you prefer one if its scarce/the same coin..... problem free or lesser grade thats ok ?. Might sound daft but i have a few that wont IMO slab but was happy to buy them as scarce in grade.

As mentioned in the original title Jerry...... honesty or knowledge ................Maybe greed ?.

Didnt realise you were on about that one ,yes better to have one problem free.

F8 at £376 was a really good buy ,wish i had only paid that

Just paid £35 John Lets have ago and test the results properly on copper ,if you have some instructions let me know what works best. All the best and happy christmas. Pete.

Really interested and thank you for your post. I am intrigued and for the last twelve month really just focused on copper pennies 1825-59. I would not intentionally buy a coin to change its natural condition.....Would prefer a really nice one and problem free However can you sell me a bottle and allow me to post the results , alternatively sure you will have some photographs ?. Some copper pennies i have bought are considered scarce(other members)will agree,some may not. Would be happy to send you some pictures ?. Although scarce means some have problems and i would not consider sending to get slabbed and be rejected. I would still prefer to conserve them in a good condition,not interested in selling them. I have a few bronze also such as a nice 1862 halfpenny date,1862 three plumes etc that both have a small verd spot although fine + condition. I mention the above as not looking at £20 coins that i would not of bought in the first place and understand not a remedy for corrosion. Really without listing loads of varieties and condition would be really interested in any of your comments. Thank you and Keep smiling . Pete.

Paulus interested to see how you go on and please try it on a couple of coppers.......... maybe with a couple of before and after pictures. Dont see any problem at all using acetone if just a quick dip or gently used with a cotton bud.

Think i need to get a larger computer screen Dave

Not sure on the obverse but its not a halfpenny date.

Yes i especially like that 1878

Both 6+G, a bead width surely cannot be offered As another variety and become finest known, thats just crazy or money making Crazy...yes possibly but that depends on the individual who is buying it. Money making i dont think so and neither attracts a premium on the CGS chart. The thing is in fairness if a coin is referenced thats what they will slab it as , although a few have gone unnoticed.

Two different varieties Dave ?.

Without people posting the site would be boring and i would not be looking all the time Happy to send them and keep looking and learning Be lucky will post Monday.

He's that type of guy, Pete. Responded to me within a few hours over a query I had about my F69, a year or so back. Top bloke. Yes i dont like to ask if i have not bought the coin from him but had a reply straight away in the past. If your reading Michael sorry if your now inundated with questions

Matt just noticed your getting carried away with the varieties and updating your site Will post you thirteen different varieties of the 1907. Keep smiling and Happy Christmas from me......... people like you keep the site alive.

Nice for him to reply so quickly and give you an answer Matt.

Peel back for chocolate!!! I would sooner have a chocholate one before that rang tang

Its not an open 3 Matt but good luck if its a 2

Chris or tom will delete it if you pm them.

Sorry everyone posting at the same time

Delete your adress richard.

In fairness to the seller it is scarce and i have never seen one in that good a grade. Although yes optimistic is the right word

Yes i think gary has the best idea ,doing them in tens or twentys as alfnail did on another post.

Hope you enjoyed the party . I had one with my grandma last week who i see most days. She lives with my mum and was 102

Good will and health for everyone all year round for me Bob. Hope you had a really good birthday . Take care and have a fantastic christmas and as i always say and mean keep smiling. Only my opinion on the above post and would never share the seller on an open forum. Pete.
