    I like that. 7 with KEW on, some pictured, but strangely unable to recognise a 50p.
  2. mrbadexample
    Good spot.
  3. mrbadexample
    Sounds like he knows you'd take one look and tell him you're not interested?
  4. mrbadexample
    I wish I knew how you were so sure. I'm not disputing it, but the numeral seems quite cleanly removed. Notwithstanding the damage, which to me doesn't seem to be entirely in the right place for a missing 7. What can you two see that I can't?
  5. mrbadexample
    It does, thanks Mike.
  6. mrbadexample
    Well, that's a start Paul. I didn't realise that all the other years had Arabic 1s. There is a bit of damage close to where the 7 should be: do you think this is post mint?
  7. mrbadexample
    So at what point does the auction stop?
  8. mrbadexample
    Any thoughts on this double florin?
  9. mrbadexample
    A how much?
  10. mrbadexample
    Leave a few common ones too eh? I've been told I'm allowed to have the 1967.
  11. mrbadexample
    I still think it would meet the definition of a "decent" collection.
  12. mrbadexample
    It's all right for you to smile Pete, you've got 'em all already.
  13. mrbadexample
    I give up then.

    I've always thought CCGB to be pretty much in the right area Rob, but I'm struggling to find quarter-farthings on the same page.
  15. mrbadexample
    Thanks Paul. That's what I was looking for - it just occurred to me that they might not update. Cheers, Jon
  16. mrbadexample
    Very. I have no patience and want it now.
  17. mrbadexample
    I've got a copy of CCGB. I've also got a copy of Spink (and the cynic in me wonders if the super-high valuations listed are to help their auctions achieve better results, or specifically for ebay sellers to quote. ). I usually rely on a combination of as many references as I can lay my hands on, but what makes you discount the CGS valuations? Experience would lead me to believe that most people would accept them. But are they updated?
  18. mrbadexample
    I don't worry about it. I'm not the worrying kind. However, if I'm buying a coin I would like to know I'm not paying more than I should. So where do I go for an accurate valuation? I need some kind of reference, not having all the current valuations stored in my head.
  19. mrbadexample
    Hi all, I was just wondering if CGS ever update their valuations. I.e. if a coin was slabbed 5 years ago and given a value of £100, will this be the same value given if I go and check the coin in 5 years time, regardless of the fluctuations in the market? Is it possible to determine when a coin was slabbed and valued? Surely, if it remains the same it's all largely pointless? Thoughts appreciated. Cheers, MBE

    I think it's uncollectable.

    My mate's the arcade manager for a group of holiday camps, and on notice.
  22. mrbadexample
    This fella's had the Duraglit working overtime. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-Farthing-1835-William-IV-unc-/331820491039?hash=item4d420ae11f:g:pjMAAOSw~bFWP0mm
  23. mrbadexample
    Absolutely. I don't have one as I won't pay that much for it. It will turn up in my change!
  24. mrbadexample
    Which is still quite a lot for 50p.
  25. mrbadexample
    Sorry Pete, it's my fault. I've a set of winter tyres for my car. Hence the mild winter when they were (quite unnecessarily) fitted. Obviously, I've got the summer set back on now.
