You make your own decision on grade but 70 A/Unc and coins graded 80 or above from circulation should be nice so forget about circulated coins above 88.
I have been wrong before but should have more detail IMO to the reverse if you compare the two pictures .
Not expensive anyway but plenty really nice ones about
At a guess and i have a few as the year my dad was born.
Top one A/UNc
One below Very fine at best due to the reverse.
I have some really nice ones and Specimens of this date but a standard one MINT £30 ish so not expensive.
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
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
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
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
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
