Been focusing on the coppers over the last few months i like the look of them and the interesting varieties. One that was a struggle in a decent grade was the 1834. Anyway happy with the one i have and wont be looking for a better one. Its c.g.s. 31743.
I think copper123 you mean anyone not everyone. If so i doubt they will admit that on an open forum would be bang out of order to not mention any repair.
Still a valid point ChKy. In the other post titled "A blast from the past" Gary 1000 said he was told some people send him up to fifty coins at a time. That tells me if they send fifty they must be dealers and are they resold with the repair mentioned ?
Its all gone over my head i dont have a clue what this thread is all about. Wiggly lines ,dots,stamps,sceat and porcupines. Nice coins but i will stick to something a bit simpler.
I have stopped looking prax two many doubts to be spending £1000+ on something in a low grade.The one he mentions at london coins i wasnt convinced about either
i have bought one of him recently just a cheap Freeman 78 but was good with the communication and sent me a couple of emails. Its worth that money but would not be suprised to see it go for closer to £450-£500
I never have ,i dont tell them anything even if the coin has been graded before and just ask for an invoice.Just tell them you will pay but wasnt sure how much.
Sorry in answer to your first question think they are scarce but seem to now be turning up more often as more people such as yourself start looking for them. With regards L.C.A. strong possibility the are hyping them up , as more are found the prices drop.There is obviously a lot more than the six in the satin book fifteen years ago.
