PWA 1967

Yes it was all part of the same collection Paul Hayward Edward V11 that was part 1 and the other one in part 2 yesterday 🙂

Cheered me up Terry I will send you a mail when it does and you can help me sell them ,i might get a couple of £ each

Yes your right Richard ,although it is like most of the others in a similar grade.I notice the St.James seller had bought a few from both workman / crocker sales including a 1909 Dot which sold in the previous auction a couple of months ago.The 1909 Dot being the same as the others mentioned unless VF or better........The last one i had i did give away to a forum member https://bsjauctions.auctionmobility.com/lots/view/1-1XDHE2/united-kingdom Having a quick look he had bought both of them from the workman sale ,this is the one that sold yesterday.

https://bsjauctions.auctionmobility.com/lots/view/1-1XDHDU/united-kingdom Seemed as good as anywhere to post although maybe a bit negative These two F164a were sold at both the workman and crocker sales for a total of £1300.The low grade varieties like the F164a ,Gouby X and 1903 open are due mainly to the internet being found all the time , maybe when varieties are selling for good money others start looking who may not even want one.There are more now than people who want them ,so IMO can only go down unless they are VF or better................ they will be giving them away soon . I was the underbidder otherwise they may of sold for £45 and although ones not bad , they are not worth anywhere near the money they were only a couple of years ago when i bought one for £250. Pete.

Wasnt sure if these would show but are the coin.....In a phone thing and then taken out 🙂 ......................................................................... Didnt realise they had been posted in the members thread aswell as these are off another forum with the same post

Thanks Peck i didnt know that 🙂 Although a good sign of a coin being retoned quickly after being messed about with is the fields will be a lot darker (black ) and patches will be that similar kind of (pinkish ) colour on bronze.The more a coin has been rubbed / polished the harder it is for the oil to stick to the surface and this is more often on the highest points. IMO though from the photo its had some kind of lubricant on and been re toned..........Unless its the photo and in hand does not look anything like the picture at all ....................................... Just having a look on the LCA website for the last twenty minutes at cleaned penny (pennies ) there are numerous examples that are the pinkish colour which they describe as cleaned and re toned or starting to re tone. These have been cleaned as if LCA were not sure they would maybe of not mentioned anything and if the seller did not agree maybe would not of been put in the auction.

IMO its had a rub with some kind of olive oil / lubricant. All the high points are much lighter and the colour not naturally dark , with the pinkish colour on the OBV that remains meaning it may of been done to re tone it.

Why the wife is going to the post office tomorrow someone may want this book as i have one already. The Bronze coinage of great brittain Its the Michael Freeman 1970 1st edition with dust wrapper. Please dont ask me for it FOC and then put on ebay the day after as one forum member did , as dont mind wrapping it up and sending it for nothing but not if someone is going to take the piss Better to let someone have it who really wants one rather than just having because its free 😟 Pete.

Why these are still here and probably not suitable for the forum a forum member has kindly offered to put them on ebay for me 🙂 Thanks again. Pete.

Might be some use to someone who wants to re sell them on ebay / Faceache or something 🙂. 1983 ,1985,1986 x 2 , 1987 x2 ,1988 & 1994 So 8 sets for........Whatever your happy to pay without me going to the post office for nothing . PM me please. Pete.

Thats the one that Loose bought and then sold , i mention it as he found that in a mixed Lot at a major auction house 🙂

The other thing to remember is people often spend a couple of hours looking and find nothing of any value ,its much easier when the sale price has brought it to peoples attention

Some people are looking at them all day Jon and you cant bid with as much confidence only seeing one side in a picture or missing out on something that is hidden. Hat off to the buyers especially if they took the time to go and have a good look and are happy , its the same as looking at something and knowing its crap on the side that is hidden and not going to high.They may well of bought others we cant see in the picture 🙂 There was obviously something or some in the 1860 Lot selling for over £3K with commision.

Scarce ones at DNW not attibuted today in mixed lots 🙂 I thought i may of been in with a chance especially when one lot i was interested in opened at £20 All good fun. Pete.

Brilliant and thank you so much for your reply ,i should of again looked in the book and not spent as much time on the 1874. Quick easy exp[anation ...Hat off and dont get to sunburnt today 😎

Maybe you can help me please Terry are Paddys two coins the same reverse or different ? I am confusing myself now and probably wrong as usual but would just like to be sure 🙂

Trying to learn as i have looked at a few of this reverse ( 1874 ) on the two pictures Paddy put up the second one is as i thought Ja. The first picture of Paddys though i am still not sure and maybe i am getting it wrong and still think its J The single plume on Ja is straight / thinner and falls downwards but on Paddys first picture it is slightly curved ? I had also looked at both helmets and the hair and thought the first one was J ,only because the first picture the helmet looks off set rather than more upright and straight.

I dont think you are getting confused Cliff and think your right to say they are two different reverse with the second one Ja. Although that may mean we are both wrong

Yes Terry you may well be right about the first one although it still looks messed about with and they are just the ones newly listed ,there are plenty others and didnt want to put them all on . One of the reasons i mentioned of not buying this particular type from a photo and better looking for an UNC one . Pete.

I think maybe these are cleaned although i may be just guessing.

The problem is Gary ,when i typed in Slavish the words they used to explain the meaning i didnt know what they meant either

Slavish seems to be the IN word at the moment ,i will have to try and find out what it means. Slavish ..........

The F177 is the most common of the 1913 Ian and IMO often well struck ,should not be to hard to find a really nice one. Pete.

I thought it better to use another fact as you may be interested to know. The graders at cgs have been looking for years ,well before cgs started and have obviously looked at the coins in hand. Although you may not agree with there opinion it is know doubt better than mine. On there data base they have six 1944 pennies submitted as NOT MT and only one 1946. The part you may find fascinating is that out of six submitted two of them were rejected. I will let you guess why. Pete.
