  1. Quick question to @zookeeperz and @Stuntman, why do you post your new coins on this thread rather than the acquisition of the week thread? Is if because, like me on my Nons crap thread, you sometimes have new stuff but you don't deem it worthy of the main thread? I am wondering whether to just post pics of my new coins in the acquisition of the week thread regardless of grade if I want to show them.
  2. You beat me to it by minutes @zookeeperz nice coin for the money, certainly worth what you paid for it.
  3. Hi Pete, Can I take the 1929 please? Paul
  4. Hi Pete can I take the 1946 please? Pmd you
  5. Does this help?
  6. A couple of newbies since the turn of the year:
  7. I have had a couple off coins them with no issue such as this sixpence: It was graded as CGS 85 and was priced very fairly.
  8. If only!! I have 2 small permissions in place, 2 acres and 7 acres, it's just finding the time to go there for a few hours once in a while.
  9. I have the Garrett 400i as my first detector and it is really easy to use. No major finds yet just hand forged nails and junk so far.
  10. I have a few 1916's but only one that has been graded by a TPG. This was graded by CGS at CGS 78 as a comparison. Yours looks to have a better strike on the reverse compared to mine.
  11. One of mine has similar issues with the E's.
  12. Bucks is at the coin fair every month but he never brings these loose coins with him, only slabbed higher end of the market coins. It is a shame as I know there have been a few I would have bought from him if they had been at the fair.
  13. Look at the fields. If the have the odd mark chances are they are from circulation or maybe bag marks. If the fields look like a wire brush has been across them it stands a damn good chance of having been cleaned. Don't beat yourself up, I'm pretty sure most people will have bought a cleaned coin at some point. Either return it or keep it as a reference point as a cleaned coin.
  14. Look at the obverse and the Queens eye also. Clearly a fake.
  15. To echo what Jaggy said, please keep us up to date Neil. The prices and lay out of the web store at Baldwins have always put me off so I am really pleased to hear you intend to address these in the near future.
  16. No it was not customs, it was the buyer. I wont deal with him again and will not ship to Canada or the US unless it is via a US friend.
  17. Just search for 'English coins' and 'predecimal' and the groups should pop up. I know most won't ship abroad. I had an awful experience with a Canadian on there a year or so back so will not ship over there. One or two will ship abroad such as Martin Platt.
  18. Andrew is on here. Ask him? I'm sure he will help.
  19. One of the bad things about Facebook is the sellers end the auctions at the time on their PC. There can be lag. You can bid and be the last bidder on your screen but not on theirs. This really is a problem if there are a lot of people bidding. Just because you think you are the last bidder isn't always the case.
  20. It depends what you are after and if you sort through the dross and decimal coinage on there. I picked this shilling up for £16 via an auction format. Bargains are very very rare but they do crop up.
  21. Spot on. I have had some nice stuff off Facebook but there is a lot of dross to trawl through.
  22. My lad just turned 8 and wants to do exactly the same, make videos of him playing games and talking about it. I have tried to explain to him why, at 8 years old, I am not prepared to pet him do it.
  23. The foam has some give in it so if you are 0.5mm out the coin will, fit just very snugly.
  24. http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Selecting-the-Correct-Size-Standard-Lighthouse-Coin-Capsule-/10000000178714172/g.html This is generally a good guide regarding which quadrum to go for.
