PWA 1967

Does she like a wide gerth Matt and if so why was yours not good enough.....

I am daft and from Manchester but ..........YEOVIL............cant take another post seriously . You will be saying next your from Burnage and sing in the bath to oasis........ Only joking frank and welcome to the forum. Pete.

Yeovil........................Washer

Hope your not a Red if so ............VF.

Thought i would reply as only my opinion. I Have 213 pennies that are slabbed CGS/NGC/PCGS/ANACS. I Have checked them before buying/slabbing and bought some slabbed already after checking the attribution. I dont sell any and my collection will only surface in about 18 years i.e. i put them away and happy with the fact that they are not gathering dust. Why would anyone do this.......well thats up to me and the 3K i have spent on slabbing means i have returned numerous coins that were not as sold . This in some instances has upset the dealer but not being an expert happy with the independent opinion. I am happy with the attribution of all of them............and the fact they appear problem free. Two coins alone cost me £3K but got my money back as had problems. I have numerous American slabs not attributed correctly ,a nice 1911 gouby X, an unc 1858 F/B ,1903 open 3 ,1841 Tail 8 etc. Everyone to there own but your question was left wide open for an answer................Its up to me . I am not an expert and like an independent opinion ... my mates think i am daft ....dont have any mates that collect coins....£13-25 a coin is not alot to spend. Pete.

All the best. Have a good year and be lucky. Pete.

It was worth about £1k without anyone mentioning it but now its been on here could bring closer to £1700. Its right and again missed by the auctioneer but i gaurantee the estimate and description will change

Dont know if its just me (probably) but cant find anything

Its spot on

Swanny reading my post again ,think i am loosing it. Blame Matt as he was good enough to send me a bottle of whisky and drank it yesterday Looking forward to reading your post with interest. Pete.

That looks nice Jaggy

Keep smiling and yes you have the photos right. Pete.

Yes its working george............Is that a Rhino coin

Not sure if it will put me off ............We all have different reasons for someone giving an opinion and i am happy with the service they have provided. But as always interested to read your forthcoming post. Please remember its an open forum and therefore dont think everyone will clap hands and i suggest you think first before you post as only fair. Easy to say negatives and unfortunately we dont say hat off enough Easy to find faults with most people (myself included) sometimes worth giving them the chance to reply rather than SHOUT. Dont know what your comments will be but enjoy Christmas and all the best. Pete.

Thats nice Benny

Hi george and welcome to the forum . Pete.

Obviously with them being so scarce, you're lucky to get a halfway reasonable one. What are yours like then, Pete? Rang tang ....one c.g.s. slabbed and another thats not much better

Thank you

Well its not that funny i have sent £35

1949 yes they are scarce ,cant tell much from the photo. As mentioned earlier and although i have a couple and one slabbed (problem free ) ,better to have one like your own with more detail ?.

Thanks Bernie. Is there a degreaser that we can try and get hold of ,or can you tell us the name of the banned one . Dont think anyone would blame you and sure they would have a practice first. Pete.

Bernie ,unfortunately some of the scarce ones it seems to be a case of put up with the problem or dont have one IMO and your the expert. Can you give any tips to us novices on what you did ?. Jerry never having used verdicare is it worth me buying a bottle to try on some cheap COPPPERS ?.........i.e.PRACTICE I dont buy any to sell but have accumulated about twenty scarce copper varieties and would like to preseve them ?.

Its not porn Matt and you have to be over 30 years old

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.
