Bugger!What a shame. It was the first time I'd seen a Chas I coin with the bust facing right, sat on an upside-down crown too. Should have been kept for posterity. Quote

Coinery Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 ANOTHER BNTA glaring error...A hammered penny listed as a halfgroat AND the complimentary incorrect Spink number! Will reveal the source if he doesn't accept my offer Quote

It looks more like a dead flamingo than anything, if you close your eyes.. Quote

I gave up after about ten seconds... are you sure your imagination wasn't just stopping you wasting more time?! Quote
Debbie Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Having spent all that time working it out that I feel compelled to point out the "bird" to you all! But I can also see how it could be a dead flamingo too Peck! Quote
Cerbera100 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 really?! personally, I'd say it was more like a dolphin diving right to left! Quote

VickySilver Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Wait, wait, that is the virgin Mary in side view. If it was a McDonald's chicken nugget might bring that price after all! Quote

Peckris Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Has the coin market gone mad?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1932-Penny-CGS-AU-78-Freeman-207-George-V-AJW-Coins-/221040614885?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item33770c1de5#ht_1534wt_1037It is a nice coin and fairly graded by CGS but does getting a common (ish) coin slabbed increase itsvalue by 400%?Spink 2009 rated this at £100. In 2005 it was only £50. My example bought in '99, cost me £30 and I thought that was good value. These are not common in BU, nor the 1934, nor the 1930. £150 seems steep, but hardly 400% steep!I realise this doesn't mean much, but a 1970 guide rated it at £50, well over the average weekly wage of the day.

I've been watching this coin for a while, just to see what happens! I'd say 200% though (of course I do have some...I think it's worth £100 at least! ) Quote
