PWA 1967

You might find this of interest Mick and sorry i cant put the link up .....you may of already read it Milled edges and counterfeit florins. I know it says florins but also half crowns ,just type it in google. Its from the BNJ 1968 and may be of some interest as about James Steele.

Well she can always get a job haunting houses at Blackpool

Can we have a look at a picture please Mick ?.

Yep your right Scott but a high bid can be shilled up and if a variety spotted people will bid really high and retract the bid to find out what its at

Slightly off track but leaving high bids at anytime upto the last day is perhaps not the best idea. It is too easy to find out exactly what the bid you made is by either the seller or someone else interested. Much easier to get one cheap looking at new listings not attributed and BIN

Hat off

Dont know if any use but the catalogue for sale on Galata.

After another nine months looking at a lot the main indicator being last eight over tooth i am sure (possibly wrong) now the 11 teeth is much harder to find with a normal last 8. Michael Gouby lists BP1898B with two last eights (normal / bisect ) and although both much scarcer than 10.5 teeth the normal eight in high grade is much harder to find IMO. Half a tooth however easy to tell at a glance due to the position. I have seen the LCA one from three years ago infact i was the underbidder, but never another in high grade. Does anyone have one or have an opinion as each time i spot one its always the bisect ?. Pete.

So you can see what it is ?.

Well my taxi mate has just been and i have looked through 61. Not one

Think you have answered your own question

Looks like it. With the first images they have been lightened which will bring out a lot more detail than the one that is more natural below. Although i am not familiar with the coin

What a mug. Tell him to get his head down and stretch his condom

Made you buy it Get rid of that spot above the date

Ian or Mike if there was any you remember and want the lot number just PM me

Yes thats what i mean by the catalogue......The hard copy

No Ian you have to do it individually from the catalogue ,it only shows the ones sold.

It should be in better condition i feel as you say Mike.

All sounds very technical Oswald what is a mechanical error that can be caused ?.

Sorry Declan but i have to laugh at that one Have you only just bought it or had it a while ?

That is the reason it was cheap perhaps ?. If a novice like me can tell its cleaned i would send it back regardless of price. You will pay more for one thats right but if it were mine would annoy me looking at it. To sell it someone in the future telling them its cleaned will surely put other buyers off also. Anyway its your coin and if your happy thats all that really matters

Who let that tripe dresser hold the coin. Alternative designs coming soon. Anyone would think he had dug it up

I suppose it depends what kind of coins your looking for. Modern stuff i would imagine is a good place to find almost anything you want. Worth looking for pre-decimal varieties perhaps that have not been attributed. Overall if i just wanted a high end coin would prefer to leave ebay alone as alot is not very good although described that way. Having just remembered you have just started collecting i suggest you leave well alone IMO, but feel you could get carried away with the thousands of coins listed only to find in a few months some maybe for throwing away. Pete.

Sounds a good day Jerry

Good luck Mike you will have to let us know if you got any
