Here's a reply she sent to me last week when I suggested that she be careful not to give it away as it is an extremely valuable coin.   "Hello im not going to give it away I don't have to se

There's an area of Bournemouth called Boscombe which boasts around 10 "antique" shops, although the majority are selling high end tat. I visit one regularly because he knows nothing about medals and i

A lot of excellent buns being auctioned by the seller "alfnail" at the moment. Don't know if anybody else has noticed these.

I've bought from him in the past, he often has good bronze for sale.

Meanwhile this 1875 non-H narrow date (F80) penny has appeared on eBay, very nice coin yes, but a starting price of £380??? :huh:

Fantastic coin, but as you say Beebman, the starting bid is perhaps too highly pitched. He's probably hoping to pique someone's interest sufficient to make the only bid at that level.

Mind, you don't often see pennies before about 1880 in that good a state. Pretty much full lustre. Very desirable specimen.

I would'nt have said FULL LUSTRE as the legends have better lustre as the land and bust, so for me it would be about 30-40% lustrious, quite a high start price though, maybe pricing himself out of a sale at that

Yes saw a few of those myself 1949, not in the market right now though, time to make a few pennies now and save for one or 2 rarer dates.

The same seller now has an EF 1865/3 for the eye-watering start price of £840:

There are at least two I would really like to get my hands on.

P.S. Even selling my much discussed 1925 halfcrown would hardly make a contribution to my outgoings tonight! :P

Absolutely. There's suddenly a lot of good stock available, and it's difficult to know how many to go for, whilst still keeping within budget.

That is a decent specimen there....still scary to put out that kind of money for an ebay purchase though.

Best to whomever purchases it though.

Not sure where you saw shoes and coats? A quick search shows this seller has sold other high end crowns, including an EF wreath.

Just did a seach other items which brought up general household goods and the 1934 crown that was the only coin.

is this what i think it is? 1897 high tide? looking at the sea line and the hemlines

I think it is, high sea is difficult to see - best look at shield base touching border beads and P of penny pointing to a gap

Here's mine (the only one I've ever seen) pulled from circulation years ago.

A very scarce die! gor for it!

yup, i won that thing, did so much checking about first though. with the tides, thasnks for the other identifiers, i am confident now it is as the wheel is close to teeth and the P pointing is differant to my other similar grade viccies.

bit of a risk, looked like someone else had a go as well, not that much money so worth a slight gamble

Nice capture, Scott. Those 1897 HT's are hard to come by in any condition.
