Rob Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I wouldn't give either side better than EF. Britannia's fingers are flat holding the trident and so is her thumb on the shield with quite a significant flattened area Quote
Peter Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 The buyer obviously couldn't see passed the lustre.The seller does seems to have a dedicated following despite sometimes overgrading. Quote
declanwmagee Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Michael Gouby has one at AU60/65 for £45. Just sayin'... Quote
1949threepence Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I know Lucido is a successful ebay seller, liked by many, but how on earth did he get over £40 for this???? (assuming it's a genuine sale and not 'something else')!linkIt's the completists that do it!They'll have a decent run of lustrous G-V pennies, and their 1915 will be lagging behind all the others. When there's a gap to fill, book values go out of the window. Having said that, Coin Yearbook 2014 says £80 in UNC for this coin, so grade overestimation will play a part too. Shiny must equal UNC. Weren't many of the coins produced in WW1 in much the same state, due more to die wear than coin wear ? A coin in the original mint bag might not look UNC given such circumstances. Quote

Agreed - but that particular example doesn't seem to have the overall weakness of die wear, more the selective rubbing to the highest points of what looks otherwise to be a reasonable strike. Quote

It's just that at the other forum - which as I say, uses EXACTLY the same hosting software as this - you just type :wallbash: and it appears. I can't for the life of me understand why it doesn't work here too. Quote

There's a separate tear-off window of them at the other forum giving a huge choice, though the list of about 20 or so that appears when you click the above button is roughly the same. Quote
Peter Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Probably it is because you have a mac which isn't up to it. Quote
Peckris Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Probably it is because you have a mac which isn't up to it. Oh, that must be it. A Mac that is so intelligent that it can distinguish between two separate forums and then, of its own free will, decide not to display the graphic on one forum that it does on the other. Yes, that must be it. Quote
