Aways worth a look, especially if rewarded with a bargain.

15 quid, that a good price, I have been looking at one for £30 and its not as good as your one.

If the price is right its worth a look, You can always send it back.

Would prefer not to have them but a few spots would be acceptable.
For some of my coins, carbon would be the least of their problems
-
So are they fakes? Although for the life of me I cannot understand why someone would go to the trouble.
-
Have you looked at the tear with a magnifier? Can you see if the edges are lifting away from the coin? I wonder if they are plated in someway
-
Are they chocolates wrapped in foil?
-
Doesn't appear to be working. Where are you linking it from?
-
Now that is a beautiful coin. Would like one of those.

So will you be selling it shortly
I have the double exergue but a single would look lovely alongside it.
-
Cannot really see it.

Don't clean them, leave them as they are. it may reduce their value.

For the metal to flow, would that not mean that it had a space to flow into?
The steel of the die being considerable harder than the bronze of the coin would trap the stamping in the shape of the die.
For the metal to flow and keep its form albeit in a wavy appearance then the pressure of the metal when being stamped would need to be stronger than the hardened steel, pushing the die into a new shape.
is that possible?
Also the waves above the exergue look to me like they have not distorted, which they probably would do if the exergue flowed.
The wavy exergue looks bright, I do not know if this is the lighting when being photographed or a newly cut die being made to fit slightly thicker numbers?
-
Looks like the ends of the 9,6 & 3 on the wavy exergue are rounded. The straighter version are pointed.
-
Come on, really?

Always a scarcer date and tough in this grade Abt EF nicely toned
The price ? A real bargain at £5

Thank you guys for getting back to me on this. Looks like we have quite a few places to start looking at
-
Thank you David, that's much appreciated
-
I have some high end collectable watches that I would like to sell. Does anyone know where a good place to do so that is not eBay?
please PM me if you have any thoughts
thank you
Ian

Oh yes I remember now

Prefer the 1900. Nice tone on the reverse. I like the way the colours change subtly.
The other one is not doing it for me. Less of a colour change, more just black around the edges.

I think I will let some of the other guys give a grading on this one, I only collect bronze at the moment, mainly pennies so silver coins are a bit out of my knowledge, however from reading previous threads I believe the faces of the lions are a point to look for. The better the detail the higher the grade. Again the picture is slightly blurry but they appear to have some definition as well as the face on the harp.
I do prefer a silver coin with toning rather than a bright finish but thats just my choice.
The grading books are the key to the problem plus following the threads on the forum.
Carbon spot.
