alternatively whizzed a small brush ,like an electric toothbrush.One big and well known ebay seller a couple of months ago bought one and showed it on his ebay history..Months ago i got told about one seller who puts dust of some kind on his images and although looks really good on copper and bronze.When the coin arrives not the same eye appeal

english is my first language but still struggle with it

One of the real laurillier is on the colin cooke site.Just go into the site and click on pennies the pictures are still up

Yes its a copy ,they originate from gary phelps

The advice was that they are not worth anything

Sorry got you mixed up with someone else mh coins.The story is the same i personally get cgs view/grading on most and that has turned up some different varieties ,rejects,finest known with them.I am happy to pay the service they provide,and if they are rejected then i like to no why.A lot of the other dealers do not pick up on the varieties the same and just concentrate on grade.Only last week i bought a ms65 ,graded unc 78 with cgs. and was cheap and a nice coin,it also had interest from a couple of forum members as was the finest known even at 78.English pennies sent to cgs suit me and what i want , i have no intention of selling any.The main thing is the quality and sending pennies to cgs giving me peace of mind .APOLOGIES for any bad spelling ,or if i did not explain properly.

You have a nice range of pennies mh.Can i ask if i bought them and they were downgraded would you accept them back . allowing that it might take a month.The sellers i deal with have all been honest and in some instances due to c.g,s took a refund.My feeling are c.g.s give an honest independent opinion.That for a novice like me who spends money is happy about.As i said to cgs last week your not there to look after the grade just be independent and tell me the truth,although that is what i pay them for.Independent sellers miss varieties and overgrade that is a fact more often than not a lot of coins sent to cgs are rejected.If i had not dealt with reputable dealers and not sent coins to cgs i could of been buying rubbish.You have some lovely looking coins ,some i have seen in previous auctions.The point is i will pay for a £1000 coin to be told its ok,and although mistakes are still made i have a second opinion thats better than most

How much was that rob ?>

Think your comment of more accurate and only talking of pennies the varieties is surely what counts.I dont intend selling mine they will be left .But i no i am not leaving a box of rubbish in a safe building up dust.I have numerous pennies sold to me by reputable dealers who missed varieties etc.

Dont worry about the pictures.So long as your happy with it . Be lucky. Pete

Yes got to agree ,especially after sending so many anyway suppose you learn and not a big deal.Talking of c.g.s./london coins one of the coins i purchased at the last auction i phoned on receipt to say it was miss attributed.They said you should view the coins in hand and as i replied its not always possible however it was the wrong DATE.

Yes you are right azda and that is the reason they gave me,when i phoned them regarding something else.

The invoice came direct to myself with the uin numbers last thursday after having the coins almost a month.Although normally received them back after about 4-5 weeks in the past.

Feel a bit disappointed as a mate dropped off over twenty coins for grading a month ago.Only just this week had any acknowledgement they had got them. Not even took the photos yet and although no big deal,not very good.

No problem.Glad you received it ok and hope its good enough

sory mean : colon dots to a tooth

Not sure what you mean ,sorry .The i needs to line up directly with a tooth.

No problem , will be sent tomorrow.Cross it off your list as its a good one and please let me no when you receive it . I am in spain so asked my son to post it. Be lucky . Pete.

Buy and enjoy collecting and keep smiling dont look at the investment as no gaurantee.The experts might make a good few quid and good look to them.I go with the opinion you have an interest and makes it interesting.If you do ok all the better but spending money on coins for an investment NO

pm me i will send you a true unc

Yes paulus i am sure all of the rejects get resold ,without the problems mentioned. Thats why i am happy with the collection i have put together.I have about 80 c.g.s. pennies and although a couple may be suspect the majority i feel a dealer would describe better.

A 1946 dot penny on ebay. The c.g.s. value is £16 and the seller wants almost £100.Although the coin was only graded fine if i was trying to sell it would of been broken out of the slab .I am sure with cgs strict grading a lot of coins are bought at e/f and resold at unc by numerous dealers/sellers on ebay.

Wont bore you with the stories ,however they are true.The boys are back in town and waiting for an alabi .They are manchester tracks based on funny experiences i can remember well .Probably got the spelling wrong

Paulus remember watching siouxsie and meeting her backstage.Was that out of it in my younger days stood waiting in the rain for some mates at the back door.Some guy let me in and still got the cig packet she signed for me.Did not see the clash but got a signed t shirt from joe ,a mate got me .Will always keep that the gig at hyde park was different league

Remember watching slaughter and the dogs at wythenshawe and having stitches in my head after.Watching p.i.l. aswell and getting locked up. brings back memories of being daft.
