blakeyboy Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 If anyone has a spare one, I'd love one. I've virtually given up finding one by the usual routes. Anything considered- still needing the last of the main 1874 types after all these years is driving me mad. I have some spare 1874H F69's if some one wants one..
PWA 1967 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Pity Prax is not about i know he had 2/3 ,maybe one at LCA which will be due to go online. What i did find suprising is the english grading company have done 7 although only 2 F69. Good luck .

1949threepence Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 This one, which went for £450 hammer at the March 2014 LCA, has to be the bargain of the century. It's probably NVF and is totally issue free. http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=144&l=1857&f=r&s=m http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=144&l=1857&f=o&s=m 02/03/2014 Auction 144 English Coins Lot 1857 Penny 1874H Freeman 76 dies 7+I NF/VG with some scratches in the reverse field, very rare More coins like this £450 1
blakeyboy Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 I chickened out maybe 8 years ago- one in a nice VF went on Ebay for £450....I'm still annoyed. Mind you, the winning bidder could have left £1000 on it, so who knows...... (Even a rough one would be enough to fill that gap...)

PWA 1967 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Big thanks Blake. Coins arrived and were spot on Pete.

blakeyboy Posted August 7, 2019 Author Posted August 7, 2019 I've asked LC about how to get a bidder number, but from past experience I'm not holding my breath for a reply....

Blake, just make whatever bid you want using this e mail address - info@londoncoins.co.uk - giving all your details: name, address, e mail address. Describe the coin and supply the lot No. That's what I did on my first bid with LCA. I was automatically given a bidder number at that point (well either immediately, or when I'd won the coin). Or when you've made your bid, call LCA and speak to Semra Cetin. Ask for acknowledgement, and how you get your bidder number.
secret santa Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Yes, it's as straightforward as that. Do exactly as Mike says. Or, if you want, I shall be attending and could bid up to your maximum on your behalf.
Rob Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 When you place bids your account is given a number which will stick with you for subsequent sales.
blakeyboy Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks for all the advice chaps. Bid Number received, bid placed.
secret santa Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Blake I'll be there and I'll let you know how the bidding went. Richard
blakeyboy Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Oh thank you Richard. If I win, it'll be the best sixteen quid I've ever spent. What??
secret santa Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Blake Bidding opened at £800, room bidder bid £850 but telephone bidder got it for £900. Richard
blakeyboy Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks Richard - I was the 'room bidder'...nearly there and in the ball park. Any more plus premium and i would have had to sleep in the shed....... Again.
