    Any thoughts on this 1927? I'm sure he's supposed to have an ear.

    Ahhh, sorry Pete, I thought I'd posted the obverse of a penny and the reverse of the halfpenny also in the lot. Sorry, I'm a bit of a tit. And yes, some beer was involved, I'm on holiday tomorrow.

    Not convinced this is F164a. Hard to see the alignment of the colon after BRITT, but the II of VII don't span two beads. LCA lot 2544 Auction 156. Any thoughts? http://londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=156&l=2544&f=r&s=l

    No, quite clear in the description! "IN ABOUT FINE CONDITION."

    It's the cleaning as well as the overgrading: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1901-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-UNC/202734140157?hash=item2f33e57afd:g:iVUAAOSw-hVdLI9C They never used to be like this.

    When did buckscoins get to be so bad? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCARCE-1861-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-R8-aEF/202734154926?hash=item2f33e5b4ae:g:iZ0AAOSwB99dLJWW

    One thing I like about the DNW changes is that they are to have an actual cost calculator running as you bid.

    He's doing some serious trade.

    I've got a double florin with broken tails...

    Just as a point of order, I don't think you can decapitate a leg.

    Is it me, or have they not bothered taking many photos?

    20% Mike. Here's their statement. I don't see that it will make much difference to me as a buyer. I have a limited budget - I will either win what I want within that budget or someone with deeper pockets will want it more than me. Nothing changes.

    Many thanks Rob.

    Think this is the F294 with small upper section to 3? Would appreciate confirmation if possible please.
  16. mrbadexample
    Good work.
  17. mrbadexample
    F106?
  18. mrbadexample
    If it's listed as a BIN and you're the first one to spot it... My F164a had been up for 3 weeks.

    I haven't and wouldn't. His pictures are appalling. I once messaged him asking for better photos of a cartwheel 1d he wanted a ludicrous amount for. I wasn't really interested but all his pictures were weird and purple so I thought I'd ask. He responded by refusing further photos and telling me to trust him, it was a good one. He also withdrew and relisted the coin for an extra £100.
  20. mrbadexample
    That too, as it happens.
  21. mrbadexample
    Plus the 1908.
  22. mrbadexample
    You're not wrong. I only looked that hard because it was obvious something had to be there.
  23. mrbadexample
    With 1860 and 1861 you can't make much of an ID without seeing both sides though, so someone's had a good look in person I guess. The 1862 lot was a fortunate picture I think.
  24. mrbadexample
    Cheers Mike. lot 980, 120 x 1861 pennies also went well at £900 hammer. Something good in there obviously, but the picture's a lot more crowded with twice the coins - I can't spot anything. If you go and view the lots, can you sit there for a couple of hours going through each coin one by one? What's the etiquette if there are other people wishing to view?
  25. mrbadexample
    Maybe I should have looked harder before the auction. Does the presence of these 3 rarities (at least) make the hammer price a good one? I've really got no idea when it comes to these.
