PWA 1967 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I thought this collection to be sold by Colin cooke next month should have a new thread Quote
jon Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Please forgive newbie ignorance Pete but what's the Copthorne collection Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Its a collection of pennies to be auctioned over a week next month by Colin cooke. Most dates ,and some rare proofs etc. Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 It's just a expansive collection of pennies, when auctions have a big sale for a collection owned by an individual they normally name it for posterity or future attribution. Normally the collector's name. I have a few pennies from the Dr. Findlow collection, it helps refer back for the history of a coin. Quote

Nordle11 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Not sure if it's online bidding or not, I've never bought from Colin Cooke except directly. Pete can help answer that though I'm sure. Quote
davidrj Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Is there a link, can't see one on the Colin Cooke site? Quote

You make a bid via email / phone if you are outbid you are notified and can have a think if you wish to go higher. Nice way to do things as rather than a coin being sold in seconds and you come away possibly thinking you should of bid again ,you can have a think first. Works both ways and can also......... not get you caught up bidding and possibly paying more than you should have Edited April 23, 2016 by PWA 1967 1 Quote

Rest assured, it's an extremely comprehensive and well attributed collection, another one that some of us will have to pick and choose about which rarities we can afford and which we can let go! At least by the sounds of it it's not a put a highest bid down and hope you win, easier to manage what you'll end up paying. 1 Quote

1949threepence Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Actually, would it by any remote chance be Steve's collection? Quote

jelida Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I dont think it is a secret, his site was advertised below his posts before the forum server change, and is still available if you google 'my penny collection', near the top of results for me. Comparison with the CC photos in Coin News confirms the link. Jerry Quote

You'd have thought so, wouldn't you. It was never going to stay a secret on a forum that's 50% penny collectors - be serious. I wondered which route he would take. Quote
