I would assume it is someone like Atlas? There are so many coins appearing on ebay, sold at auction, that are listed for significantly more than they were bought for and sometimes with dubious descriptions, missing key information from the original auction listing like edge bumps or inflated grades. I know dealers have to make a living but some of them are taking the proverbial..... Will the bubble burst?

I tend to use a third party to submit my coins to NGC here in the UK. The turn around was around 3 months last time (over a year ago). I can put you in touch with someone in the UK who can help. I know its not ideal but they may be able to give you a steer.

I have 2 1925's at the moment, one is impaired due scratches on the bust (not mentioned by Spink when I bought it) and the other was graded as CGS78 (I think). Neither are as good as yours @ozjohn

No they stopped a few years back. The auctions take too much time of their time and are far more profitable than grading unfortunately.

I have dabbled azda but don't know enough to make any serious investment/gamble. That said, with the current price jumps I'm up about 300% today but have been down by 50% in the past.

I am really struggling to fill the many gaps I have. Most things are now out of reach of my budget.

Now I need to find someone with a CD drive to get it onto a memo stick or something I can use to download and print things off before the drives no longer exist.
As paddy said just get a USB DVD drive, no more than £22 ish. My main PC doesn't have a DVD drive so I use a USB external drive.

Yes I had my eye on a couple of lots but they went for way over my budget.

Hi Jerry,
Here are a few of the more useful and/or busy ones.

The facebook groups are certainly busy but the wealth of knowledge here is superb.

I think on average its about £23 ish to get it slabbed but Matt will be able to confirm.

Hi Paddy, I can put you in touch with someone for NGC grading if you would like. Used him a few times and so far so good.

It is also on sale on ebay .The fact it isn't even EF , should be a bit of a giveaway .
I know nothing on Pennys so advised him to join here to get an expert opinion on his coins.

18 hours ago, VickySilver said:Ok, let me just start by saying that I am not able technically (old-fashioned me!) but perhaps someone can assist with possibly screenshooting some of the commentary where on Facebook there is a fellow on "Half crown Appreciation Society" group that somehow thinks he has a GENUINE 1952 Half crown. It is one of those knock-off poor copies not labelled as such with the atrocious bust of G6. The reverse is alright and the toning suspect but I could not believe some of the comments.
Although it does make me wonder about the actual currency piece that Colin Cooke had for a bit and is written up still on his site. How in the world did it get out into circulation and even more strange how did it manage to be out in channels long enough to pick up that much wear and not be discovered; I also note that it does not appear to be a circulated proof or to be of any special manufacture.
I replied on the post but was talking about a totally different coin due to how facebook showed the posts. I likely, unintentionally, added to the confusion. Sorry!

I tend to keep all my raw coins in quadrum capsules of the appropriate size. So far (8 years since I started collecting) nothing has been affected by these capsules.

Likely a daft question but have you tried a lot of the main dealers out there? A few of 1938 Farthings listed as BU for sale but without pictures so you would need to request them.

If you are adamant that you want the coins slabbed then there are a few people on Facebook who will facilitate NGC grading if you do not want to deal with it yourself. I echo all of the above, buy the coin not the slab and take 'top pop' stats with a pinch of salt!

My Dracunculus vulgaris has flowered this year but instead of the usual 1 flower we have 5, 4 are now open and the stinking of rotting meat is terrible if you get within a couple of feet! 🤢😁

4 minutes ago, Peckris 2 said:The E over E is of very little interest, repunched legend characters being so common. However the underlying R (or is it a B?) really does make it a very interesting variety. Is it in Davies or is it a new discovery?
I dont have my copy of Davies to hand but @DrLarry posted about this a while back. Be interesting to see what the forum thinks, is it a B or R? Im leaning towards R.
1928 Wreath crown, does it look Kosher?

Only that the seller listed the same coin for more money and under a slightly different account!
