Sleepy Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Not just the 36 penny, see his other stuff 1977 crown £549.99! 2 Quote
pokal02 Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) It's not only Ebay. I was idly trawling Etsy and saw 1898/99/1900 1d's on offer for a bargain £1,000. They are Fair-VG at best (the first two arguably worse). Edit: maybe they are a bargain after all - I've just seen a 1936 1d in Fair-Fine on Etsy for £27,300!! (No, it isn't an Edward VIII). I think I'll give up now. Edited December 24, 2021 by pokal02 1 Quote

Michael-Roo Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Again, not eBay. This time Colin Cooke (not the man himself, obviously). AEF, and delightful. AEF? Delightful? Er.... 2 Quote
copper123 Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Looking at the hair details looks more like GVF. Remember some coins look better in hand , must say it looks like it's been lightly cleaned at one time as well , love the mole ........ Edited December 25, 2021 by copper123 Quote

Michael-Roo Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 Yes, pre obverse die crack would be a bonus but surely a realistic grade would be NVF? Quote

After looking on their website one can see that the die crack, early though it is, has succumbed to the usual contemporary tooling. The leaves on the wreath and high points on hair are flattened. The reverse shows wear concomitant with that exhibited on obverse, lion’s breast and ribs in escutcheon, jewels in crown, Irish harp etc. Peripheral residual lustre is present so I’d give it a generous Sheldon of EF45, so in that context it is “extremely fine” though only equating to VF in ‘real money’. I’ve seen worse examples go for more than £6,750* and better examples go for less. * here’s an example of someone blindly trusting the grade on the slab (MS63😂) and shelling out £11,500 for an example which I’d have to be put in a headlock to offer £4,000 for. https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/great-britain-cromwell-crown-1658-7-ms63-ngc-/a/3056-30267.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-Thumbnail-022817&tab=ArchiveSearchResults-012417 Quote
copper123 Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 I agree really rarther poor and £11.500 (?) totally mad , nowhere near ms63 Quote

Tooled I think these are barely collectable. It's not such a rare coin. I bet the HA coin is tooled too, it looks like the die flaw on his breast has been abrasively ground down and polished off. Amazing what people will pay for mediocre coins in slabs. I knew a chap who wanted £2k for a dog of a Cromwell halfcrown in a "VF30" slab...not only was it not VF, it had smoothing in the fields among other problems. I wouldn't have paid a grand; I advised to consign to auction... DNW got him his money though ! https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?lot_uid=393883 Edited December 30, 2021 by JLS 1 Quote

Ironically, if the ring had been left on it might just have been worth $12.50 to someone, as it then had a purpose. Now it's just a piece of highly polished scrap of use to neither collectors nor jewellery afficionados. 1 1 Quote
