PWA 1967

Sorry i didnt realise was just looking at the two reverses

They are in the David Groom book Silver varieties Zoo.

Looking at cgs Rev A they have done... 20. Rev B... 3 in the proofs Rev A.....10 Rev B 7....in currency.

The 1888 missing serrifs is not scarce infact there is probably nearly as many without as there are with. The slight difference in your own coin is the second I and i doubt anyone would be interested in that as its such a tiny difference. Overall its a 1888 Penny thats been graded 82 which i am sure will be nice. 1888 Penny problem free high grade with good lustre for £90 was a fantastic buy......Hat Off

Also Nicks indicator second I in shillings. Hat Off Zoo and get it sold

Glad your happy with them Mick. The coins you bought and sent were for your own reasons and came back at the grades / varieties and problem free. Getting another opinion rather than just putting them away will not do any harm. The actual value is IMO not as important as you probably wont be selling it and adding to your collection / interest in the year.Some prices though for certain pennies are cheap and i would be happy buying them already slabbed and pay full price as i am keeping a constant check on prices through auctions,dealers lists etc.One penny i would if the coins appeared right buy a hundred cgs of one year in UNC today .Obviously some will be expensive and this is all relevant to buy the coin not the slab /price (which is what your doing right) or weather the coin is worth even sending although £15 is not much to pay.You will see even more so now everybody does not have access to there website coins being sold alot more than the cgs price a recent example being a penny cgs price was £375 less than it sold for in auction and was attributed correctly. The prices are also updated as more come available the price may well come down alternatively if auction prices increase or coins are hard to find they may well go up. All good fun Your buying nice coins and Hat Off to you. Lastly the 1888 penny you bought i doubt cost you so much Pete.

I remember reading an old thread on here Bob with interest

Before Bob tells you Mike should he wish to as its someone elses coin now Be interested in what you think it sold for .........Have a guess

Yes come on Dave lets have one......Seem to remember one months ago will make a change from the CD i have had on alday.

Hi Christie. The coin pictured 1912 H penny the H stands for Heaton Mint who struck it. Most coins of just year type need to be in collectable / better condition with more detail. Such as being able to see the fingers /shield/letters etc. For that reason that one is worth nothing and if the other coins are all kept in a box together and look similar they are probably of know value. Maybe take a picture of the one you think looks the best and see if you have a penny dated 1860-1863 which may be worth something ,alternatively 1864 or 1869. Pete.

Thank you both so much for your replies . Its also interesting to find such a big difference in opinion as a full grade.I suppose as always its hard to tell from a picture but have learned the fact its a Key date and they can be weakly struck.I will be interested to see what it does sell for and will have to keep an eye out for a really nice one for myself

A post on another thread made me look at this but dont have a clue about them. Lot 2972 is a 1917 Sixpence looking at prices are they weakly struck and is this estimate cheap ?. Can anyone give an opinion on grade and price please.......if only for me to learn from Sorry i cant put the link up.

He doesnt say its rare just lists what it is and somebody thinks its worth £47.....Whats wrong with that ?.

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I was only joking they wont be worth anything anyway a 1967 penny with probably a tiny difference nobody seems to have a clue what one is or probably bothered. Calling DAVE G....................

All good fun Zoo.......

I bet if people start buying them Rob you will soon be looking

Think it just keeps the interest looking for something you have not got even if the difference is hardly noticeable. Will only cost pence to buy one and never going to be worth anything its just the looking and comparing with others. I bought a penny for 99p last week that is worth nothing to most people but had been looking for one for months Thats why i want to know..........What in crying out loud is a FINGER PENNY

What do you think it is Mike ?. I think enough people will have looked at the coin in hand prior to the auction to decide it was a really nice specimen and was described as that probably due to the Heaton mint. Mark Rasmussen has sold a F74 for a lot more described as proof as i am sure your aware. Having a look at LCA they sold one in June 2010 for £2800+.....Definately one to get in a slab Mike if it is

Unfotunately some people only really understand if you go down to there level.Being nice didnt work so dont report him just tell him to do one ....F%^c*N P$£%K

I think he is just a second teir seller and when you click to buy he would get a small commission , the buyer would automatticaly deal with the """" seller in hong kong. He does nothing else apart from list on there behalf with a uk account. I would think there are loads of chinese / hong kong items sold this way. Maybe i am wrong but have heard of this before ?.

His business address made me smile ....22 Park lane London

Mauling about with Rubiks cubes

Its not an open 3 Brian Good to see you posting again and hope your ok. Pete.

They look spot on Bob and why you have used both that must be the better one
