This is what you expect when 2 lunatics converge With just one around I would have expected a win around $800 for the coin with 2 the sky is the limit

I prefer coke to acid and would love to meet your dealers

So someone paid $3300 in 2012 for it. http://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/great-britain-edward-vii-low-tide-penny-1902-/a/3020-24177.s Either he has spotted something that I haven't or he must have a oil-well in his backyard

Came across a 1902 Low tide in mint state but the asking price is 3k Now that must be a joke or is it? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=33emqg0&s=8#.VVCpjeHfCww http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2cooax3&s=8#.VVCpoeHfCww Supposedly ex Heritage

There seem to be around 25 - 50 no H pennies. Out of which there are at least 3 in UNC grade and all have the known die pairing. Further it is ridiculous how many with the wrong die pairing have been engineered to look like a genuine no H. Given these points unless a no H with the new die pairings is found in UNC (or close) grade the debate will go on, quite naturally with the experts and collectors standing their ground. Just as is the case with the 1876 close date no H.

I don't think anyone would shell that level of money for an undocumented supposed variety. It's funny the seller says 3rd example in 5 years. There is only one the Seaby example and even that is a touch and go. I have seen that coin and I am not 100% that it was not a rub-off job. If this is the third then how come no one has heard of the second?

A picture is worth a 1000 words

2 pennies a 1797 NGC 63 and a 1854 NGC 64. Nice coin but pretty steep price. There's one on fleabay for around £325 not as pretty but AU in my opinion. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1860-Beaded-Border-Rare-Victorian-Bun-Penny-Freeman-6-1-B-R10-/191573073730?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c9aa51f42 Does anyone know chocophilebcp Seems like a decent seller - good feedback and seems to grade on the conservative site? I might fancy a punt on this penny at £325.

I would go with PWA send the coins to them and let them invoice. Lovely coin Azda

Sorry to disappoint. It's not a 1927 rev. It's a normal 1922. With the rare rev there are 2 points to consider a The middle trident prong does not touch the teeth b The distance between the rim and shield is fractionally larger There are other minor differences but these are absolute clinchers

Very under-rated type. Another good find.

absolutely disgraceful

soon we have to all become like the big auction houses and ask for CGS coins to be unholdered so that they can be examined prior to purchase

nice

The buyer won’t be as disappointed as the buyer of http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=148&searchlot=2186&searchtype=2. Keep your eyes peeled for CGS coin #0007719. I was in the auction on Saturday and was going to bid on this coin so I asked to view it. I was stunned by what I saw. The entire rim from 8 o clock to 1 o clock was flowing with verdigris (the hard kind more like the green patina that is found on metal-detected copper). I have looked at the CGS pics possibly taken during the grading process and they seem perfectly ok. The LCA pics show the reverse without problems but the obverse pic that has the verdigris has been properly masked. I am sure the buyer will ask for a refund and this coin will make a second appearance on one of their auctions soon.

I wont comment on the silver but bronze seems reasonable for the most part but http://www.ringramcoins.com/coins/pennies/penny-13950.html for AUNC is a bit over the top

On the money. Mate of mine wanted to send a CGS 82 graded coin to NGC hoping to get a MS 65. Turns out there was an edgeknock that was well concealed by the inner capsule. Now he's considering sending it back to CGS for an explanation.

£ 570 for a VF coin must mean a special date

Nice coin Prax. It's not one of the scarce types but still a beautiful coin. Was it a type you were missing in your collection or did you get it as an upgrade?

Agreed the lower portion extends far beyond your average open 3

I would give it 70 Obv and Rev 60. Look at them lions like they have been starved to death. The first lion on the top corner their butt is gone missing. The vertical line sepearting the 4 compartments is missing and on the bottom shelf the lion's heads are missing. With CGS it is always who the consignee is. I would grade it XF overall but hey whhat do I know.

... and this is UNC apparently. http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?searchlot=1995&searchtype=2&page=Catalogue At least it did not get a CGS 95, which it may if sent for grading based on who sent it

it was an oversight. you do recognise that don't you
