  1. Thanks for your input Martin ill wait and look around more.
  2. I thought this coin may have been cleaned in the past PWA. and the edge damage was putting me off to Sword so I might just wait. I've been watching a few coins for a couple of days now and I'm not that impressed with the quality. I only have £200 to spend I know but I want the best I can find.
  3. This is the link to the page it has a few more pictures http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/George-IV-Crown-1822-/172788001805?hash=item283af7ac0d:g:0UgAAOSwVFZZcQ7K
  4. Hi I was wondering if I can have some opinions on this coin ? it's on eBay guy asking £230 I was thinking of making an offer of £200.What would you grade it ? and of course in this age of fakes what's your opinions of the coin I'm far from an expert but looks ok to me! and lastly value? in your valued opinions thanks in advance Vic.
  5. Should read 1844 not 1884
  6. Thanks for the reply Paulus appreciated
  7. Hi bought this 1884 Victoria young head crown arrived today never noticed the star in original Ebay listing, with a little research I see it's called a Cinquefoil stop & there is also star stops that look similar to an asterisk, some sites I've been in don't seem to agree in which is more sought after any help would be greatly appreciated
  8. I don't have a camera anymore Coinery it broke a while ago, I need to get another one I've been using my phone and its just not taking a decent picture as the coin is much better in the hand thanks for the tip though I'll give it a try later.

  15. I agree Copper it doesn't do anything for me especially that owl
  16. Could it be lead free pewter ? it really does feel and look like silver
  17. Hi was giving this this a while back been told it's fake from what little research I've done am I right in thinking it's meant to be a silver tetradrachm ? from looking at other images of similar coins on google the owl is quite crude which surprised me I thought if your were going to fake it they would have done a better job any ideas on the material pewter ? would be interesting to see other members fake coins I'm sure there must be a few
  18. As some know I'm new to coin collecting but bought this recently and quite like the tone it

  21. Hi bought an old DIY coin box of ebay. I like the old banged up look lol but I have noticed that in some places the velvet has become loose and coins are slipping through. Is there any glue I can use without affecting the coins I collect silver coins I have put up pictures to give an idea of the material in question.
  22. Cheers guys I'm in paisley Coinery for those that don't know it's just outside Glasgow. I'm sure we will stay friends Garret I'll let you know if I spot a good coin mate lol
