  1. There are always going to be better ones and more than recorded as some collections are kept privately. If ten are known of an example there is not going to be less and the numbers can only go up like the 1862 Three plumes
  2. Noticed a couple of scarce pennies in the next LCA. Hopefully part of a collection and a few more will be listed
  3. That makes it an even better find So glad it turned up for you as it would of done my head in.
  4. Stupid thing above wont delete. Hat off Terry and glad you got it safely one i have not got and well bought
  5. Not having a clue about them. What is the difference please in frosted or not ?.
  6. Wish i had known Rob you could of picked mine up
  7. Not sure about that. The house i have over there has a big garage on the ground floor.......was two feet under water a couple of weeks ago Mates of mine who have lived there since the eighties tell me its the worse they have ever seen.
  8. Not much to see Dave torrential rain and hailstone
  9. Hi Mark and welcome to the forum. Are you putting it on ebay ?.
  10. Was only joking. Suppose being in a top floor flat helps as looking out of the window in an unadopted road means the only thing i can see is rivington pike about twenty miles away . The benefits of a high rise in salford
  11. Its like any auction you dont know how high someone else was prepared to go. But was definately a good buy
  12. So lucky to have nice views. If i look out of my window just see police vans and burnt out cars
  13. Yes i read that Richard sold at a small auction house ,think a copper 1860/59 was sold in the same one with some lustre. I wondered if it was the same one as the LCA one . Looking again it must be the same one and whoever bought the medals aswell seems to have got them for a really good price
  14. Hi Chris and welcome to the forum. I assume your royal mail is a typo unless first day covers do you mean royal mint. If so i hope i dont dissapoint you but unless limited they may just be coins / box sets sold in the thousands. Can you let the forum know what you have ?.
  15. I would feel of more value to Art collectors. Its like autographs or anything else put on a note. Plus the Art collectors tend to spend more IMO.
  16. The colour of the buns is toning and different metal mix IMO i have sold a few really high grade but black. The latter dates including 1932 not any real explanation and the 1932 IAN B has maybe he can put a picture up as i havent got it anymore and did not take a picture
  17. Dave they would not retone it without looking different it would be similar to putting in a purple dip I have had numerous dates 1932/37/48 that are different in colour (Purple) i have sold, some described afterwards by dealers as mint toned. Pete.
  18. Do you mean its identified as Rang Tang ?.
  19. 1872 scarce/ harder date to find and decent grade. Gouby BP1872Ab slabbed by cgs 70. CGS say £175. To keep to forum rules £100 plus postage Struggling to download cgs pictures but if your interesred please PM me. Pete.
  20. I have been told they were treated after striking but not sure. Also that as there were none struck for 1933 they did not want people hoarding a relatively low mintage that the royal mint thought had happened in 1932. Apparently this was printed in a book but i cant find it
  21. Thats a good start would just use a gentle pick with some vaseline in a tiny amount now on the green bits Even a gentle bit of persuasion with vaseline and a lint free cloth and then a quick dip in distilled water and a tiny amount of extra virgin olive oil. Hat off
  22. Thank you for the replies . I have asked a few people but nobody seems to be sure. If i get an answer that stacks up i will post Pete.
  23. Thats a good one Jon and would send for slabbing . I have sent you my address so you can send something possibly worse
  24. Fantastic job and hat off to you Brian you have a lot more patience than me and a good eye. Pete.
  25. Think the phrase is................ Tighter than paint Anyway sure you have sent me a nice christmas present so thank you in advance
