    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    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 .

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    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 .

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Looks as though it has been dipped . It might be bright and shiny , but it is a very unattractive coin .
  8. I have bid on a few ,but I am holiday and money is tight. So the bids are miserly lol .

    What is this coin?

    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

    What is this coin?

    After a bit of investigating .They are silver investment coins issued by the Ukrainian Mint . They sell for between $35-45 . hope this helps .

    What is this coin?

    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 )

    What is this coin?

    Trying to translate it . Think it is national Bank Ukrainia

    What is this coin?

    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 ?)

    Pennies High grade.

    If its still available ,I will have it Pete Mick

    siege piece,

    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

    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 .
  17. 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 .

    1860 F15 with fishtail . not great condition ,but has enough detail .

    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 .

    looks like I was well off . still a result ,as I dont have a 6+d .

    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 .
