Good selection from my collection on eBay auction
mick1271 replied to Paulus's topic in Items For Sale
I got a couple too .Will also need to wait till I am back up the road . -
I prefer a vintage Cider , something with a bit of bite . Currently in Northumberland for a week , so I will need to stock up before I head up the road . The minimum pricing laws in Scotland has made the better ciders a lot more expensive .
-
I am partial to a wee (large) Talisker . In fact , any peaty malt will do .
-
looking at his other items , quite a few seem to be very clean and shiny .
-
I have the cider goggles on and it seems ok to me ,apart from the wee bit of corrosion and the mark at the eye .The colour is a bit off too , as though it may have been cleaned and then artificially toned. If it is a wrong-un , it is a good one .
-
Looks as though it has been dipped . It might be bright and shiny , but it is a very unattractive coin .

I have bid on a few ,but I am holiday and money is tight. So the bids are miserly lol . -
It is a currency value , but it wasnt issued for circulation.That is the prices getting asked for from the Ukraine (couldn't find any other sellers) . In the UK value will depend whether there is a demand or not . silver content value is about £10.50 at the moment
-
After a bit of investigating .They are silver investment coins issued by the Ukrainian Mint . They sell for between $35-45 . hope this helps .
-
Think it might be ONE HRYVNA on the bottom .Which would be a currency value , but I doubt it would be a currency issue (similar to the silver £20 coins the RM produce )
-
Trying to translate it . Think it is national Bank Ukrainia
-
I dont think it is currency . It looks like a commemorative medal / coin of some kind ,possibly Bulgarian . Going by the info on it , it says 31.1 (possibly gram) 999.9 AG (silver content ?)
-
If its still available ,I will have it Pete Mick
-
This one has the same breaks in the B and gaps in the outer circle to name but a couple of the many similarities . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Pontefract-besieged-coin-Charles-1st-shilling-1648-lozenge-shaped/352382683879?hash=item520ba50ae7:g:r~0AAOSwukVbJVc7

1861 BUNHEAD ID'S
mick1271 replied to mick1271's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I will need to get a camera , it is hard to make out on the scan , but it has the centre fishtail and a narrower right ribbon . -
I bid on a lot of lower grade 1860,61 and 74 bunheads on ebay ,in the hope that I can pick up some of the variations I don't have on the cheap . As expected , I normally pick up a lot of the commoner ones (that I already have ) .3 of my latest ones are ,I think are F24, F28 and F32 .Although I am unsure of the F28 ,its corroded and Its maybe a bit of wishful thinking . I am normally quite confident of working out the combinations , but getting 3 scarcer ones in one go has got me second guessing .

What reference does the Satin numbers refer too . I have been sticking with Freemans (and grooms for 20th century) ,but have been meaning to get a copy of Gouby . -

no problem ,I will scan it tomorrow (was just about to head to bed) . The ribbon knot and bottom of the bun seem to have more detail than the wear would suggest it should .I think I will need to dig out the other ones I have filed away as doublers ,it is beginning to get more complicated ....and interesting lol. -

I take it you mean on the hair ribbon . Yes ,it is centred . didn't think to check that ,although I had noticed before that some were off-centre -

The top 2 should have been easy enough . the last one is a bit of a state . I also got 2 1860 pennies with them , but they were easy enough to work out (f13 and f15 ). I suppose that practice makes perfect . -

I thought you had the numbers wrong . I went with the die combinations . I have an F22 AND 33 ,didn't have a F29 .Freemans, although very informative , can be a bit of a puzzle sometimes . -

After another look ,I think I have them wrong lol .I am sure if I wait another hour ,I will come up with another set of die combinations .
