PWA 1967

I spoke to a dealer about three months ago who was on his way home from viewing some coins in an auction in Spain. He had paid flights taxis etc. The next week after the auction i asked if he had bought anything. Nothing Pete but money well spent was his answer............Makes a lot of sense as he had seen them and new what to pay.

If i pay a good few quid for a coin i ask a couple of people for there opinion if they are both happy with the coin and the price happy . Does not matter if slabbed or not as i trust them both 100% and better to get other opinions as well as my own I dont profess to be an expert in fact far from but think i know a cleaned coin

What does catty mean

No this is the cleaned version before and after however they have a few more if you want one .

In my opinion from the pictures its had actectone/acid treatment . Couple of spots that will come back and not removed properley. Also some work done after with a cotton bud and then been lightly wizzed on the reverse. Not the nicest proof coin .....but still worth buying at the right price.

Lovely coin but had some work done and obvious signs of cleaning. If you buy a coin for £1k and do some work is it worth £2k . In my opinion you pay the price its worth and people spending that money know its scarce/rare or worked on and does keep the price down but thats why you paid less. A collection of pennies /half pennies was sold a couple of years ago and some went cheap as had pvc residue. You have a choice nice coin or one witrh faults ? Which would you buy as if you clean them its because you were not happy in the first place CLEANING COINS just keeps more in the market for collectors. Please look......... and if you have doubts pass. People want to clean them for personal gain and should not off bought them ,all this conservation,preservation is CLEANED. Nobody is trying to preserve a coin unless they want to sell it as wont make any difference. I WANT TO PRESERVE A COIN I HAVE THAT HAS XXXXXX BECAUSE I WANT TO SELL IT FOR LESS

In fairness to LCA they will take coins to shows in the Uk ,so you can see them before bidding.

The auction catalogue is now online for anyone interested

Just incase anyone else was not aware. The postage to send ten magazines was only £2.90 but to send twenty was over 2 Kilo and £14.90 I wasnt splitting them up and wrapping them again and going backward and forwards........lesson learned

B-E-H-A-V-E........Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F

Will post today Mick but will be sent seperately

Can you please spell it out for me £718 for a 1912 H ?

I am really GRUMPY ....X factor ,Essex ,Soaps ,Big brother,Jungle ....all Garbage. Fortunately the wife does not watch them either apart from that dancing thing thats also RANG

What penny you after ?.

Starting to do my head in........... Took them with a mate today about 2-00 and all the terminals had a problem with the computer system , i could of put stamps on but dozens waiting ......... Will try again in the morning. Pete.

Only glanced and maybe rubbish but seem cheap Your a silver guy though ......big collection of shillings for sale by Colin Cooke today might be something for you ?.

Dont know if any use Paul. Lot 225 in the Baldwin sale on Saturday did not sell and available to Buy for £130 from them. Seven farthings between 1837 -1901. Pete.

Will save a few fireworks and let them off when you sell it

Weather i am missing any points maybe. £718 for a 1912H seems vastly overpriced and if i am missing something maybe i am glad

I do understand Bob and look at prices daily........I have nothing better to do The coin in question though is 1912 H and completely different to a rare 1877 narrow date. If you get what your asking good luck to you and was more a question. I will look forward to you selling it as will set a guide

Agreed acetone will get rid of residue from PVC although dont want to go down the acetone route again Its more to do with the coin catherine or anybody else buys . People pay a premium for a slabbed coin and can understand why....... only my opinion. Although if a coin has been restored and the buyer is not made aware seems different. All companies mention/reject cleaned coins although the servive to do it seems contradictory if not mentioned on attribution. The premium catherine paid would he have been as keen ,but for this thread ?. We mention cleaning on a coin but not if we did it does not seem right. Nobody on here washes plates to restore them or preserve them.......cleaning is cleaning

If i was to buy a pcgs coin would the fact its been restored be mentioned please. Not just the Atlas coin as thats up to them,but is it on the label or the description on the website ?.

It was more to do with a guide to a price of a slabbed 1912 H penny and not really to do with anything other than the price of your coin and the other.. $900 and $2000 just seems a lot .forgetting the tpgs the spink price is £375

Whats that in £ Bob as in my opinion would be £350 Max its not as if they are scarce. I have one cgs 82 it might not be so far off grade wise and possibly not as good (close ) but paid £230 (already slabbed) and cgs say £350.

Its definately the same coin,its not like there are hundreds of them. it does make you think about buying a coin from the pictures from America and after all the fees involved on a coin of this value weather you would be happy when it arrived . Atleast with the Spink photo they dont hide anything.
