PWA 1967

You may well be right Rob ,i am often wrong. What made me look twice though is on the single the waves merge into the line and on the double are on top. I will put it down to the picture and my bad eyesight 😀.

Maybe its just the picture but doesnt look like one to me ?.

This is a disgrace ,i sold the coin as an altered date on facebook and the buyer re sold as an altered date on eBay. Now this clown has decided to try and have someone over as genuine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266487532448?hash=item3e0be50ba0:g:GIIAAOSw65xlRNRf&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwDKw%2Fdk1UJGufEcBK%2FHmtR34Tpcipq5SaM0Tvk4bm%2FIcXFCILu2ldfG6pQRQhp2iU7txJHl3pnNyQK7H9ecCe5dAjrWYi9BVkzsjbF3iHXjVjcYGTCjPNyF7gSQRAFEsucsR8hkFqFp7jJxhi%2FH0SIZHVGvYDlG7Hz2ftZkpihzd79jv96zRooBdjWl%2BPqHDfD8yIaHucgRcq4RzJS%2BQS7PSqtun1voQMnuBUYuxzl5dO8%2BKLoTdplXTtgqzJquKxg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9r4_tzyYg 👎

1854 4 over 3 ,not attributed by NGC.

F803 "PennEy" Model Pattern. Although i have had two others this one much better.

Thank you ,do you know if the Half crown was also at Baldwin please ?

Its only easy if you know what to look for ,i know that sounds a bit daft but if you dont know the indicators like people didnt with the farthing ,your not going to find a genuine one ,unless its attributed correctly by the auctioneer. Obviously thats IF there are differences which i have been told in the past there is ,although being silver never took any interest and would not know what to look for myself 👍. If the St.James crown was one and people know it was who bid and wanted it for there own crown collection ,its the only reason i can think as to why it went so high as obviously rare with very few known ,especially not still in the sets.

I must be missing something on these Crowns i know nothing about. One was in the Baldwin sale LOT 538 PF67 CAMEO £500 and was unsold without a bid ,so why someone would pay £6K for one a grade less i have no idea 😀. More i think about it and although still expensive maybe it was a 1953 VIP proof from the set and people knew the indicators which i have been told before are different ,like the Farthing and penny. I dont have a clue about crowns or silver but the only explanation i can come up with and although still expensive seems more reasonable for a crown collector who has know interest in the rest of the set and will be very few sold individually.

The 1953 Halfcrown i could not believe and then saw this crown sell at St.James. Surely it will all end in tears as the prices seem ridiculous and makes me wonder if people are actually buying them.

One i havent had before ,although i must admit i have never looked for one 😀. Thanks Larry 👍.

Must have looked at hundreds / thousands to find one in a decent grade for type 😂 Gouby BP1895Bb Wide date.

Quite a lot of pennies in the next Baldwin auction. https://thestrand.com/auctions/calendar/list#/auctions/5cec2514-7637-4f39-b576-3be0db39d6ad?q=penny&department=BDW&lot_status=all&auction_uuid=5cec2514-7637-4f39-b576-3be0db39d6ad

Yes its definitely the same coin ,i bought it after the Auction.

A couple of new ones for a date run i have been putting together since selling my others. 1893 and 1904 ,both hard years to find so nice.

Yes , as i was trying to explain shows that paying daft prices for the highest graded can all change tomorrow when one gets graded higher 😀 There was another penny today i sold a couple of years ago and that also only went to less than half of what i sold it for,due to others now being higher.

Unfortunately the price difference in just a grade or two on most pennies determined by NGC are huge ,for the few collectors currently buying them. The 1839 PF66 for sale in "The Coinery auction " sold for £10,000 the last time it sold and at the time it was the highest grade. Now one is graded 67 (Maybe bought by the seller of this one) the one graded 66 has almost certainly lost its highest grade attraction. Unfortunately its not what we think the grade is but what NGC put on the label and if its high or the highest , there are a few collectors who will pay big money for them. Only my opinion but i have been watching the prices of NGC pennies for the last few years and ones graded really high or the highest can sell for daft money. Fortunately its only a few buyers though who will pay these high prices and what it does mean is the ones graded high but not really high 😀 ,we can buy for sensible money.

What it does show is how its often hard to determin a coin variety / type from a picture ,sellers pictures which were lightened show the detail much better. The E in Penny is complete even though it appears not to be on my picture.

One i recently purchased ,not the best grade or condition 😀 F16 5+D ONF and looking at Richards Rare penny site i wasnt aware there was so few known.

A new one and not a bad grade for type. F39A 1862 8 over 6.

Not the nicest looking Halfpenny but a hard one to find to find ,as been discussed on here before. 1956 F474 4 + C.

I have now put this in a facebook auction ,just to save anyones time who might message me 👍

£90 plus post.

A new one bought this week not attributed and believe only four known. Gouby recorded as BP1870Am.

One i bought a few months ago ,however have hit a brick wall trying to attribute as dont know if its been struck with a foreign coin or a token. The penny has been struck twice and due to the year may of been struck by Heaton ,which makes it harder to determin what the other coin or token is. An advertising token has been suggested due to Co. being on the penny a few times but i really dont have a clue.

Thought i would share this 1854 DOT , E of DEI ,as not seen another and really clear in hand.
