will1976 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 My latest additions, nothing spectacular and not my usual area of collecting but a nice memento of my holiday in Canada. The quarter cent is supposed to glow in the dark.......it doesn't!! 3 Quote

UPINSMOKE Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 Well everyone I have now completed my 1935 set of Denomination coins with this one off of eBay. Thanks to everyone that helped me, you know who you are. I have now to move on to the next set. I am happy with this nice and crisp and at last am getting better photo's although still struggling to get decent ones of the silver coins. 7 Quote
newheart Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Out of interest, what is "the next step"? Quote
UPINSMOKE Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 1 hour ago, newheart said: Out of interest, what is "the next step"? My next step is to move on to a denomination set of 1937 as this has a Crown in the set as well. I don't think this will take me too long as I already have 4 of the coins and have ordered 5 others only need to find a decent Crown in UNC condition at a reasonable price. Where I go from there is anyone's guess I do have a few gaps in my sixpences I need to fill between 1936 and 1970, I may go onto them. 1 Quote
newheart Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 How many coins in a denomination set? I guess they all have to be UNC? Quote

It depends on what year set you go for for 1937 it's 10 coins unless you go for the proof set as well. Most of the later sets I try to go for as near to uncirculated as I can find. On earlier sets it may not be possible to get them as close to uncirculated. Then I try to get them in EF or as close as. 1 Quote
Jester Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 I picked up this beautiful 1900 Florin. The grey-scale toning on the reverse is really nice IMO. 8 Quote
Stuntman Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Must be something about Florins of that era. I also have a 1900 which I repatriated from a New Zealand coin dealer's website a few years ago. Very similar in toning to yours! Sorry for the thread hijack Mick, look forward to seeing your incoming 1937s in due course 6 Quote
zookeeperz Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 My latest . I'll probably get stuffed by customs as well but If this is what I believe it is it will be worth the expense. 1916 Penny Recessed ear Broken border tooth after last T of BRITT 4 Quote
Peter Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Worth every penny to get a class coin.That is a keeper. Quote

Your not going to believe this I am so very fortunate this is the recessed ear coin. I searched for 1911 penny. I hate ebay they list anything even if the sale says 1911-1936. I thought I was looking at a goubyX 1911 penny lmao. I even overlooked the date concentrating on those blasted border teeth pointing. You can imagine my mind Ms64 goubyx It's a slam dunk. I really have to refrain from impulse purchases without looking properly first. It is not the first time either lol Quote
Jester Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Bookending my 1838 - 1910 Sixpences with a few fine examples picked up tonight. 1938 1939, Top Pop at both NGC and PCGS 4 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I thought it was a King on 1938/39 coinage Quote
Jester Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I was tired...but good catch nonetheless. Quote
zookeeperz Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Not in quite the same grade but a scarcer type for the year 1873 rev C die 117 4 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 She certainly doesn't look very far off though Quote
Jester Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Nothing to blow your mind but I picked up the 1902 1/3 Farthing in good condition as part of my 1902 denomination year set. 3 Quote
Jester Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) OK, maybe these are a bit more interesting. Just finalized the purchase so wanted to wait until that happened before posting. 1902 Crown 1902 Florin Edited October 23, 2017 by Jester 4 Quote
Leo Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Very very nice florin. I also went for the 1902 set, being so common in high quality you get the 'best bang for your buck' if you want to focus on quality rather than rarity, and quickly put together a type set. You do know that the third farthing did not circulate in Britain though? 1 Quote

I think the biggest expense will be the low sea level Halfpenny and Penny in high grade. The third farthing was for Malta, right? I thought it was an interesting coin and I was able to pick it up for about $25 shipped so I thought, why not (while working on the other 1902 coins). Thanks again for your comments. Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Really love that florin! 2 Quote
