Somtimes buying slabs is the only way over the last couple of years peter to get what you may want / need . An 1869 penny sold at the last l.c.a . For £1400 plus commision in a reasonable grade . I would be happy to pay a lot more for an unc one weather in a slab .cardboard box or even a durex.Does not matter.
In fairness i have a PORTFOLIO with stanley gibbons which has been paying much higher interest than any building society would of given me over the last three years.Although mine have been in high quality rare errors of which the chinese have been paying a premium for lately.Just cashed some in after two years and made 11% after fees so more than happy and have an asset with an interest.
Yes thats why i posted peck .They have it on the c g s site at £350 and it is a nice grade,was going to throw a late bid in of £250.But £490 is not possible surely
Always not sure on private listings paulus i have just had about thirty graded by cgs and a lot finest known an 1841 at 85 and would not expect £490 even though there value is £600. Was watching the others and good luck to him.Maybe i should be selling mine
Sorry to ask been following a cgs 1858 penny not scarce but a nice grade .Can someone please tell me why wtih a couple of days left it is at £490 . Again sorry but its blown my head in.
I spoke to michael yesterday.Was going to close the shop and sorting out the stock last few weeks.Will be keeping the website and continue running a mail order business .Has just bought a considerable collection of pennies and has a lot to list as far as he told me.Always worth sending a mail as i have bought a few that were not listed on the site due to moving.
Struggling to tell from the pics ,however appears to be a die clash..If your sure its a 3 would be unique and very rare,not sure why it would be placed there though.
