Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 i have been looking at this, it looks quite nice for £15.00, what do you think about me getting it, its just that something looks strange about it...? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 It does look like it's BU almost full lustre (no thanks to the awful picture) I'm not sure about those wierd toning patches. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Seems kosher to me - it's probably cos it looks silver in that picture. Quote
william Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 i have been looking at this, it looks quite nice for £15.00, what do you think about me getting it, its just that something looks strange about it...? What looks strange about it? It looks kind of silver to me... Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 i've just bought it, i hope it was the right decision...i had no 1901 pennies in fine + condition... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I think its just the light reflection William. It's about market value for Ebay. If you want it you should buy it. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Why didn't you bid? because it was with a starting price of £9.00, and i really liked it. i basicly didnt want someone to buy it over my bid... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Well done Master JMD looks like a good buy. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I'm hoping to win this:My WebpageI'm currently the highest bidder. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Sorry about that, its the 1910 one near the bottom. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 He said it's near the bottom but I can't see it - a direct link would be nice! Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Well done Master JMD looks like a good buy. thanks Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Sorry about that, here is the direct link:1910 Halfpenny Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Sorry about that, here is the direct link:1910 Halfpenny looks like a nice coin, i would say go for it, it does have 7 days left, so it may exceed £30, but i would get it if i collected half pennies...but it does look as if some of the hair is worn...

Emperor Oli Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Hmm I wouldn't trust a man who calls it Edward VIII! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I don't mind that. When I buy halfpennys that I need, I compare them to Dr. Nicholson's examples because I want to get better examples than him. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 I don't mind that. When I buy halfpennys that I need, I compare them to Dr. Nicholson's examples because I want to get better examples than him. you have every oppertunity to get better then him...what age did he start collecting? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 He started collecting over 30 years ago. It may be hard to get better examples than him in some cases but is is by no means impossible. I have suceeded so far with my coins below:1. 1901 BU2. 1903 BU3. 1909 BU4. 1931 BU5. 1932 BU Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 are they your top 5 bu halfpennies?my top 5 bu pennies are:1.1927 BU2.1970 proof BU3.1962 (i love the toning on it) BU4.1937 BU5.1938 BU...but the 1901 penny that i bought will probably go to no.1 Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Very nice selection there. Are you into bronze pennies? Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Very nice selection there. Are you into bronze pennies? copper and bronze (1797 - 1970) Quote
william Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Very nice selection there. Are you into bronze pennies?copper and bronze (1797 - 1970) Why start at 1797? Quote
Geoff T Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 1797 is the year the large "cartwheel" copper pennies and twopences were introduced, so it's regarded as a watershed in the history of the penny. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 11, 2004 Author Posted May 11, 2004 Why start at 1797? because i do not like the silver pennies as much as copper/bronze...after/if i manage to get all of the availible pennies between 1797 - 1967 in EF - BU condition then i will probably start half pennies... Quote
