    As a bit of a guide to us newbies what sort of prices would a Gouby X expect to command, in it various grades? What grade would you give the example? IMO around VF?

    Quadrums are the way IMO Have a look on eBay at a seller called Andy Jack, sorry cannot send the URL I am on an Ipad at the moment and it will not let me cut and paste? He has a selection of Quadrum storage solutions that may suit your needs. P.s. Nice photo

    I am giving this a go at the moment. The main reason being that I can have a large image on the computer screen to help me get the focus etc correct rather than trying to focus on a small image through the viewfinder or screen on the back of the camera. There are various free software downloads that allow you connect the camera to your computer. However Adobe Lightroom seems to be a favourite Has anyone else used this technique? http://www.diyphotography.net/introduction-tethered-shooting/

    How long for that to start re - toning? I have read on here about people leaving coins on window cills for a while. i have to say I prefer my coins toned rather than lustre, it says to me that that coin has had a life rather than hidden away in a box. However I have no objection to dipping, not cleaning though? If it removes grime. btw I like the Farthing Mick, even if they have lost their original tone.

    Been there?
  8. IanB
    Just to open up the whole cleaning debate again. Is dipping okay, it seems to be okay to give silver a light dip? What about bronze? I know in this case it's removed the mint tone but in general is it acceptable?

    Those are great pictures, I have been trying for weeks to get anything decent but not happy at the moment. Before you push the shutter release do you view your picture through the screen or have you tried tethering the camera to a computer?

    You must have missed this earlier.

    Pie dish, jelly mold, or something similar maybe.

    So are you saying that you think that the circles are from the dies when the coin was stamped?
  13. IanB
    I have been having a think about the concentric circles and unless there are some marks on the edge that might indicate that it was held in a vice or chuck so that the circles could be accidentally or intentionally cut into the metal for some reason, then its possible that they were put there due to the coin being squashed between something with these marks on which was transferred onto the coin through pressure. It could be that the coin just happened to be the right thickness to be used as a spacer for something that had a little bit of weight on it. Anyway just a guess on my part.
  14. IanB
    Are there any marks on the edge that might indicate that it had been gripped by something?
  15. IanB
    Could we see the reverse.
  16. IanB
    Can you PM me with a price Pete.
  17. IanB
    Aways worth a look, especially if rewarded with a bargain.
  18. IanB
    15 quid, that a good price, I have been looking at one for £30 and its not as good as your one.
  19. IanB
    If the price is right its worth a look, You can always send it back.

    Just found this http://www.ncscoin.com/news/enews/2010/April/article1.asp

    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
  22. IanB
    So are they fakes? Although for the life of me I cannot understand why someone would go to the trouble.
  23. IanB
    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
  24. IanB
    Are they chocolates wrapped in foil?
  25. IanB
    Doesn't appear to be working. Where are you linking it from?
