  1. Join the queue!! 😁
  2. How the heck did they do that?!?
  3. I picked up a lot today as well
  4. Do yourself a website on wordpress. Extremely easy to do and as long as you remember to upload the photos you can keep track and compare grades etc of what you have v what's on offer. Mind it won't stop you buying duplicates. I have 3 x 1911 and 5 x 1923 half crowns.... www.noncoins.wordpress.com Is mine and is really useful at the coin fairs.
  5. Thanks! I wish that was really the case, I am still make regular mistakes, normally spur of the moment purchases. I really need to try and curb my spending and focus in on 1 or 2 particular coins to fill type gaps in higher grades.
  6. Struggling to get them in focus but my 1829 Maundy set:
  7. I would be interested to know when NGC finally start slabbing at Spink.
  8. That's fair enough. I can only talk about my experience but in the past 'bright' has meant dipped or cleaned in some way. I remember when I joined this forums I was advised as such. Michael is a very reputable dealer so I don't envisage you having any issues.
  9. I work for an Oracle partner, mainly focused on Unix and Linux. Also partnered with NetApp, VMware, Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Veeam, Cisco, AWS, Microsoft, Azure etc etc. Been here a long time now, were small but very good at what we do around Unix.
  10. Still working in IT selling hardware and managed services.
  11. I agree with Rob. You would expect the out gassing to reduce over time so if the cabinet is question is made from freshly cut and dried oak I would imagine it would have more of an impact than a cabinet that's a 100 years plus old.
  12. I believe the tannins in oak, as an example, turn silver black Pete.
  13. Talking about the Midland a few dealers do accept card but cash is king. If you can turn up with notes you always stand a fair better chance of agreeing on a price you both find acceptable.
  14. Get the slab on a hard surface and one firm but not hard hammer blow to the top of the slab will usually crack it enough for you to safely remove the coin. I don't mind slabs at all but have had to remove a few that have had a spot of verd develop post slabbing.
  15. Martin is a good guy. I have only bought one off him so far but I was more than happy with it.
  16. If you click 'listing' in the text above on ebay it takes you back to the original sale so you can view it.. Try it on ebay.
  17. Sorry to hear you did not get it. I was watching a few but could not get on to bid.
