I have had no bid confirmation. I bid yesterday and my bids seem to have gone on!!!

I have a couple of bids in now myself. Not sure if I will come out with any in the end. Would just be nice to say I had an Ex-Copthorne in my collection =D

Have to say I'm looking foward to taking part too. Brand new to me too!!

What I find great about this auction is that there is something to suit all pockets. All quality too! I have now registered with Colin Cooke as I had not previously. Brilliant collection

My contribution. Not great at taking pics of silver and still can't manage to get the detail from the Obverse as it shows in hand!!

Can I just say a massive thanks Steve for your web page. It was the first page I found online prior to coming to the forum and gave me a lot of inspiration. Your site and Richards as well as other members of this forum are resources which I have used time and time again. I am sure there are many other members and non members who have been awed over the years by these fantastic online pages and that many have gone on to embrace the joy of this brilliant and very addictive hobby. Thanks Guys

Thanks for the clarification Paulus. I think he is definately shooting himself in the foot!!!! Off course thats my opinion.

I do the same as you Mat. My coins are all loose, bar a couple I got from a friend on here. I use it as a resource, I certainly wouldn't pay £99 for it. It seems self defeating in respect that you want everything to be transparent and crystal clear. If I was to start collecting slabbed coins and wanted to verify them I certainly wouldn't use a company that would charge me a fee to do so. Hopefully it is some kind of misunderstanding or error as surely it will lead to a major loss of business and revenue for them.

Very interesting. One of the first pages I came across online when I came back to the hobby. Could some one put the link here when the auction catalogue is up and running. Thanks

Here they are again from a little further out.

Here are my 2 pics of 1918H as promised. Definately more than 1 variety of 1918H then!

Will get some done later tonight Matt.

OK Question This may have been asked or talked about before but I can't seem to find it. I have a few lower grade 1918H pennies and noticed that the "H" on some are directly over a tooth and I have one were it is to the side of a tooth. Is this already a known thing. I seem to remember something about the 1919H. Thanks

I have to say since I posted this I have started getting them for bronze Half-pennies. Some fit fine but others are a bit loose fitting!

Welcome to the forum.

To be honest if it wasn't for Richard's penny page I wouldn't have worked it out. I had missed the extra Leaf!!!

Reverse. THINK I MAY HAVE SORTED THIS OUT. Now looking again I think it is just the common a garden J + d

Managed to get a day to myself so started sorting out my Bun Heads that I have so far. I found this 1861 which I think is a Gouby E +d but wanted to confirm if I was right. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Another couple of shots from different angles..

Came across this nice unusual error. Nothing exceptional but different. 1962 Penny

Got one for you Ian.

Hi Ian Will definately bring it next week. Think I need to get a nice case for it in the mean time =D Brian

Thank you very much for the offer Colin. I will keep it in mind . Had a good look at your site, very nice and informative, thanks.

I know I worked out its a farthing so not the right place, but thought I would keeop continuity and post my own photo's of the Lords Prayer coin. I have been given a chunk of cost back as a partial refund for the initial error made so am a lot happier. As Rob stated above the smaller canvas does add to the skill involved!!!!
