PWA 1967

Did you buy something exciting ? Must be difficult to not buy from two sets of pictures as you had ,both Steves website as a comparable to Colin cooke ?.

A nice coin ....is a nice coin....unless your selling them it does not matter,but i am putting them away(apart from duplicates) for a long time. I have over two hundred slabbed cgs pennies ....Boooooooooooo I dont just have them graded just for the grade ....more importantly are they ok and not rejected. Believe me ....some people with years of experience would perhaps be suprised with rejections, proven faults with some coins. Someone like me who might pay a few pound for a coin ,happy to pay a bit more for a second opinion as putting the coin away for a few years. So for me i am not too bothered about sheldon scale or any scale... more is the coin OK. Grading companies just grade the coin more often than not....i have good mates with years of experience can do that. I want someone to tell me as a second opinion if / whats wrong with it....a lot harder. Pete

The auction has finished VICKY ,can i ask what you mean by more exciting

If anyone is interested in a copy of the prices realised ....email colin cooke and sure they will mail them as a print off to put with the catalogue

Thought i would put my two pence or one pence after looking at another thread and only my OPINION. If a number of coins have been sent and the price been agreed for slabbing and paid prior ..........the service will be provided as i am led to believe. You need a time period to slab them and then start a new business again.........,not a transitition with what about these 1100/1400 coins that are half way through grading. They need slabbing and grading and they are commited but not to acknowledge.........IMO......... anymore new submissions and put the brake on Slab what we have.........then move forward......OR BACKWARDS If a buisness wants to give reasons ,they can give any they want ...nothing to do with anyone else ,unless your an investor ,if that devaluates its again up to them. Not quite the same as booking a table in a restaurant.....chances are you pay after you eat ....or say its POWSEY ... It does not really inconvenience you (most members of the forum) and not got any obligation to anyone ,as you currently dont have a choice anyway and cant submit a coin. As someone who has used them ..........just would like the website back up Weather thats right or wrong its not something that can be closed today and opened tomorrow and hope it works for everyone in the future .......I am not an investor and none of my business........just want the website back live...... Without graders consistently grading WE/YOU wont need them just put pictures on the forum If the buisness plan is worthwhile....well nothing to do with me Keep smiling . Pete. P.S.ONLY my opinion and sorry for any spelling /grammar mistakes

Not read all the previous posts but seen your happy and hat off Paul ....think you might have to wait for your grades a bit longer

Colin is the main forum guy with regards selling farthings/helping you and sure he will look after you and you will be happy Also if thats what you wish to collect Colin cooke do a free regular farthing catalogue and the person there is also honest and worth a phone call. Happy hunting........glad your not looking for pennies

Seen this but want one MS 65

Not a clue

Yes thats really what i meant Gary ,by the years of the coins.

How old are the coins Gareth ?.

Just a guess Paul

They could of left the website up......i received some coins yesterday and cant enter them or sell my duplicates Its not a big deal ,but they could of put things on hold for a few days with regards submissions etc. But still kept the site open.....i am led to believe the site should be back up by Tuesday . It would of been courteous to inform people who have sent them some coins over the last couple of months they will continue to grade /slab them. Not just shut the site new management and .............

Unfortunately maybe a couple of people paid it. Out of order and really annoying . Sure its nothing to do with the business model moving forward ,more lets get as much out of it while we can . Pete.

Hope my last batch gets graded

Hundred per cent honest . Not anybody elses fault ,one of them things that retiring early allowed me to have a few drinks at anytime especially as i was living in spain. unfortunately i cant have one or two Anyway back to coins

Drink has been a big problem for me over the last few years. Nothing personal but like anything ......sometimes hard to cope with Be lucky and have a couple of bottles of scotch for me

Might be ....my choice. But dont see if it has anything to do with it Maybe you have views on alcohol ...and we can share another topic

Yes good luck Swanny. Maybe you will be on TV with Judge Rinder

Dont have a clue about coins. Although have a bit of an idea about living in england......for what its worth

Will look to you posting the outcome. In my opinion for whats its worth. 1. not a chance. 2. More chance of being hit by lightning. The coin is real but been cleaned...unfortunately you think its been toooled Damage done by CGS ......what a load of TRIPE.

Although maybe starting to retone Maybe not worth very much (as much as you paid) and possibly worth sending back to the seller ....sure he will give you your money back. If you ask nicely and put a smile on your face i am sure can be resolved
