  1. Not at that price a c.g.s graded e/f sold at the last london auction for £1400 plus commission and was better than that. I want one unc but thats not worth looking at and daft money
  2. Think the point of different dealers/auction house makes the difference.Its a penny i have been looking to purchase.Not really common in a good grade,but see the same coin numerous times.
  3. Parcel posted today jason .Happy collecting
  4. The thing that i am not sure about.Looking at michael gouby book BP1882 Aa the coin does have the right reverse and 14 teeth ?.
  5. The rim on mine could never be determined as a proof peck unless mistruck .Think i will just send c.g.s. a mail .I just see it as a nice coin from circulation in a good grade.
  6. In my opinion appears to be an H thanks rob
  7. Nothing i can find peck and no big deal.Would be interested in c.g.s. opinion but not loosing any sleep.
  8. Still after looking at the coin to be graded as a specimen strike rather than a high grade normal issue can only come down to the fields in the blank ?
  9. Good post and scary for non experts like me.
  10. Hi peter yes the problems are obvious , however why a specimen one only graded ?
  11. Thanks peck .The real question is how can c.g.s .determine a specimen strike and grade the coin as the only one they have graded.As opposed to just a high grade normal issue
  12. Thank you so much ,have you any opinions paulus as to why it would be graded specimen strike ?
  13. Hi . i recently purchased an 1876H penny.The thing i am confused with is its been graded by c.g.s. as a specimen strike.I no it might not be a big deal,does this just mean its a good early strike ?. sorry i cant download the pictures .However its c.g.s. uin 26028.If someone can put the pictures up would appreciate it.At a caravan in abersoch and the computer keeps going off. Many thanks . Pete.
  14. As someone who used to buy frequently on ebay the whole bidding scenario has now become a joke.Its either a bin or i cant be bothered with all the hassle anymore.Shill bidding everyone up just annoys me and wastes everyones time .
  15. Happy to buy a set ,thought it would of been easy to get a mint penny.Obviously wrong again
  16. Got most but sill looking,Thanks
  17. I have found it much easier to work out freeman numbers ,varieties etc .Having the different coins in hand and comparing them was a big learning curve..I now feel confident spending money on a coin and learned a lot more studying the coin rather than just looking at a book .Its not a case of looking for something i just got familiar with freeman numbers by having low grade examples.
  18. Hi .After a good response on my last want.Looking for a 1950 proof penny ,however must be mint with no toning or ribbon mark.Good price paid and would consider the proof set if thats better for you.However as stated the penny must be mint.
  19. Always better to compare one with another .I buy low grades sometimes just to compare freeman numbers etc.Thats just a standard date.
  20. Yes good comments,just a shame nothing really goimg on in manchester.
  21. Getting the stock from the pawn shop obviously helped ,especially on the jewellery.However low over heads ,not much advertising .Think using a small bar and using a mailing list would give a couple of dealers an opportunity to move stock on.Anyway sure someone will get something together
  22. Just sent a message,do you think someone will carry on an auction in the northwest rob.I ask because we dont have many other opportunities close by
  23. I used to go and bought a few banknotes and bits and pieces.Would like to send my best wishes
  24. Hi azda i must mention only about 10 k was spent with niel .Some have also been through auctions and michael gouby.I have not really bought them as an investment ,more an interest and if in twenty years time they are worth less atleast i enjoyed buying them .Sure your son is happy and thats more important than anything all the best and be lucky
  25. I understand peck ,collecting the pennies was just an interest and sometimes takes my mind off the negatives .Yes the money helps and i wish you well.
