Sylvester Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Sorry about the oldy worldy English in the title Oli.Or should i say curated, (i actually quite like it, cos the details are clearly visable, unlike the one i've got which was a hoard find and is very grubby). Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 It's so bright it could almost be a re-strike! Very pleasing to the eye although its collector value is somewhat limited Quote
Sylvester Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 That's what i thought, it's a nice strike, pretty on centre, eye appealing, lots of detail, high grade (VF+) but cleaned So i don't think it's worth the £76 asking price.Actually looking in the book, it's class 5C, ABEL ON LVND,In VF it's worth £180So at £76 it's definately whizzed, and perhaps maybe just worth the money.Whaduya think?

Half Penny Jon Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Considering the fact that there is no doubt that it has been cleaned, I would say that you paid a nice price for it. Quote
Sylvester Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 i haven't actually bought it, i just saw it in passing.I may buy it one day, if it's still there, but i'm not really that fussed at the minute. I'm currently waiting for more stuff coming my way shortly. Quote
william Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Yep, that's definITEly been cleaned, but I would say it's worth it for £76 Quote
Master Jmd Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 It looks quite nice, i would pay around £50 - £70 though. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'm not into hammered but I definately would not pay any more than £80 for it because the cleaning is so obvious. Quote
Master Jmd Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'm not into hammered but I definately would not pay any more than £80 for it because the cleaning is so obvious. yes, that is the same with me , but it looks nice(ish) Quote
Sylvester Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks guys, i'll bear it in mind. Hopefully it won't be going anywhere any time soon. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Considering the fact that there is no doubt that it has been cleaned, I would say that you paid a nice price for it.I don't think Sylvester's buying it for collector value though, more as eye candy Quote
Sylvester Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 Correct again Oli, it's got nice eye appeal (not often i say that about a cleaned coin).Get it in a proper protective coin envelope and that would make a nice pocket piece. Quote
