1949threepence Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Re 1876H pennyTo be fair on the seller, he is pretty much laying it out as it is. Despite the possibilities, it is not a coin that I would particularly want.He's actually a friend of Michael Goubys. So i would assume he knows exactly what he has, i spoke to him a few times about some of his coins, he's basically selling his doubles of what he has from upgrades. His name is Ian FallHis username of alfnail being an anagram of his real name. I've actually bought from him myself, and was very pleased with the item Quote

Red Riley Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Should do well! What's the silver value of that big slug currently?About a tenner currently but 0.900 silver so may be difficult to sell for scrap in the UK. Quote

Nick Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Another case of outrageous overgrading? Looks no better than good fine to me.1908 Halfcrown Quote
Peter Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I will give it VF.Imagine sending it out for slabbing. Quote
Red Riley Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I will give it VF.Imagine sending it out for slabbing. I would agree Peter although it only just scrapes over the line. Quote
Gary D Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Is it me or does this one look machined.Error? Quote
argentumandcoins Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I will give it VF.Imagine sending it out for slabbing. I would agree Peter although it only just scrapes over the line.I don't have your grading book Derek, but if the Y P and I in the garter are missing I call them fair, barely visible gives it a Fine as I grade. The obverse of this particular coin is certainly better than Fine, the reverse...?I am maybe harsh on grading this reverse type halfcrown as I have sold quite a few Poor/Fair 1905's over the years that now are Fine/GF in everybody elses grading scales!

argentumandcoins Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Is it me or does this one look machined.Error?Turned on a lathe by the look of it and probably within the past week! Quote
Peckris Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Another case of outrageous overgrading? Looks no better than good fine to me.1908 HalfcrownI'd rate it an average of VF (obverse not quite there, reverse a bit better) Quote
HistoryTreasures Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Is it me or does this one look machined.Error?ROFL!I'm struggling to see what's means to be so interesting about such a coin as that! Quote
