They are not bothered about the experts just selling them to the masses and new collectors , will only get better in time just like everything else that is faked or copied.

I believe he goes to most shows and auctions ,so hat off to him as obviously keeps busy A dealer was telling me he used to just buy foreign ,but when he saw how much some other coins were going for started looking at everything.
-
In fairness to the seller Mike ,when i bought one from him i did send a message asking the same as the coin was a few quid.Although i could not understand his reply he did send it Special delivery and i did receive it the day after .
-
I have only bought one Mike and was quite surprised when it arrived..........I must of paid to much for it
-
Probably be up for sale again next week Mike with his other account....Seller who drives me nuts . For that reason i would not be sure the final amount will be genuine.

Old Time Dealers-Reminising

Talking of old dealers has anyone heard of Alan Laycock from Yorkshire i think ? A mate of mine in Spain asked me about him a couple of days ago as he had read a book by him. Pete. -
Silliness of the "Un-researched Purchase" Variety
PWA 1967 replied to Madness's topic in Beginners area
It must be love Its not like that in.....Our house. -
I have a lot of the Joseph moore model pennies Larry including some of the scarcer types ,not the ones as you mention above.They are much harder to find in top grade than people think as were not put away as coins may of been .The models are also covered in a book called simply.... Bimetallic Model Penny (the author is a forum member ).A couple of collectors on here who collect the Lauer and cardboard coins although they very rarely post , now you have started a thread hopefully they will contribute to it Pete.

Welcome to the forum Madhouse. I dont know where you live but probably the best thing to do would be a good coin show. Lots of coins to look at in hand and reputable dealers who can point you in the right direction.One in both Wakefield and Birmingham every month and a big one in York tomorrow and Saturday. -
Boxers punch bag They dont hit you back Jerry and looking at him he couldnt knock the top off a rice pudding. Low life and ebay should ban him straight away.
-
Thanks Mick......I was beginning to think it didnt happen as nobody had seen one
-
Has anyone ever seen a collection or even one coin that has been damaged or toned unaturally by the cabinet please ?
-
Thanks Paul ,as i said i have not got a clue but you collecting silver will know.I wonder if thats what it does with all coins.
-
Thanks Mike for the above reply. I had read that they were not advisable before although not any reason as to why or evidence to back it up.. Has anyone ever noticed or seen this chemical reaction ,does it change the colour in a specific way ?.
-
Not having a clue , why would Walnut and any other wood than Mahogany be so bad please ? Or reading the thread again Rosewood as Peter mentions. I am really interested , how can a piece of wood damage a coin ,i have never seen a coin described as having wood damage and surely there is a lot worse things to keep them in .

100 % Spot on Mike

We are about ten miles away and can see straight to winter hill from the lounge window (upstairs flat).It was throwing it down for most of last night and had some heavy spells today. Sure it will of done some good as even our lawns are now looking green I should of also mentioned my mum went to the Barn in rivington at lunchtime (i think that is what its called) and was throwing it down at 12.00.

Failure is a word for people who dont have a go regardless of what it may be and IMO success in sport would not be acheivable without competition. We are all different and in sport if everyone was as good as the stars they would all be average. People may often lose and comeback stronger and better in sport. My comments were not based on you Dave or the post you made ,just more that we live in a country were alot of people will be negative of others . If loosing in sport is failure thats a word you may use but i choose not to Thirty one teams who got to the group stages have failed in this world cup from your comments..................They all should of in there opinion done better but there will be only ever one winner. Maybe we should concentrate on the good bits rather than the negatives which are easy to find. Yes your opinion is as valuable as anyone elses but please dont apply for the England managers job should it ever become available. Pete.

People and teams dont fail in sport they take part and sometimes lose. Some teams and individuals may be better however they are the small majority.Ask any boxer a good mate of mine has just retired after fifty two professional fights and didnt win one, but put good wages on the table that allowed him to look after his family. Some people give everything they have ,yes they may lose but still be given a hat off . To say if we had met other teams we would of gone out earlier IMO just seems unfair and also not relevant. Maybe Muhammad Ali , Sugar ray leonard , Sugar ray robinson and Mike Tyson were not very good as they lost and you consider that to be failure. As i mentioned in an earlier post if we had won 10-0 in the final some people would of still not been happy and said it should of been 11. All good fun and enjoyable watching
