There's a nice one going at the March LCA - link to Although it's a bit more than fair to fine, so might be more than you're willing to pay.

I saw that one .Yeh ,it is a bit more than I would be willing to pay .There is a low grade one in a mixed lot , but ,I don't fancy bidding on a lot just for one coin that might be lower grade than I would be happy with . I will get them eventually (in a grade and price I am happy with) ,might just take a while . 1
mick1271 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Finally got an 1837 , just an 1845 left to get . 2

I did see a few 1837's , but they were either high grade (and out of my price range) or went for more than I thought they were worth . I was 2nd bidder 3 times in a row on ebay (at over £70) for ones that were less than fine , but of a grade I could live with.Book price of a Fine 1845 is £15 , but that is highly unrealistic .I will hopefully get one about Fine for £50-60 .........eventually .
copper123 Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I found one in a bargain bin at york for £5 in near fine a few years ago , ended up selling it for £30 no problem. 1845 penny that is Edited May 17, 2021 by copper123
Paddy Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 All of which makes this one, which I got "for free" in a job lot a few months back, even more surprising! 5

Sometimes you just get lucky .I will get one eventually , so I will just plod along upgrading the rest of my collection as I go.
copper123 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Would grade that as attractive vf , would be higher but for the marks on the queens face , do I see a trace of lustre around the date?
Paddy Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Yes - just a little lustre there. Reverse is, if anything, better than the obverse. It has got me worrying slightly - this one went into my collection as an upgrade and I cannot locate the one it replaced. I probably sold it at market, but quite likely too cheap! 1 1
mick1271 Posted June 2, 2021 Author Posted June 2, 2021 Finally got an 1845. That's me completed my penny date run . Now to upgrade them lol .
