I think that there will be a light stain on the coin which shows up as the marks on the photo. It is a really nice coin though, it is well worth buying. Quote

Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 I thought that. I won't buy it then, I'll wait for a better example. That number JMD put up does indeed hae a gigantic stain below his ear. Quote

Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 And you base this knowledge on.............. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 And you base this knowledge on.............. ...the fact that a) i dont have a penny from 1806, and i have never seen such a good early example Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 You haven't been "on the circuit" for five years though I'm just pulling your leg really Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I'm just pulling your leg really yes you are Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Master Jmd, I dare say if you had enough money and made enough people aware of your hard cash and need for a BU 1806 penny, you could probably find one every six months! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I have seen quite a few early pennies in BU on ebay.com, unfortunately they have been all slabbed and graded. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Early BU examples are rare however, they are obtainable if you look. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, Like 1934 Crowns....Only 932 ever made. In the last 3 years I've handled 6+ of them and can probably tell you where at least 20 of them are.The rarity of a particular coin is all very well, and of course it makes them harder to come by, but if you wave enough pound notes around and they'll come to you!

Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Master Jmd, I dare say if you had enough money and made enough people aware of your hard cash and need for a BU 1806 penny, you could probably find one every six months! The 1806 penny that you want being sold by Colin Cooke James is very over-priced. If you waited then you could probably pick up one for £100 less on Ebay. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 did i not say that the prices there were a bit over... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 Probably, some people here have a habit of repeating things. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Oli who rattled your cage this evening? Gone back to being off hand no? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 My Spanish oral questions rattled my cage. eg. ¿Dónde pasaste las vacaciones el año pasado? Seventeen questions like that! Ugh I'm on number nine so I'm nearly finished. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Probably, some people here have a habit of repeating things. Have I upset you Oli, what have I done? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 You haven't upset me, but you just have now by asking what you have done when if you had taken the time to look back at the previous post, Sylvester asked if he had said what you had said, which I said he had. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I am sorry then, in future, I will read previous posts before posting. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 You realise oli that i was not repeating the previous post but rather concurring with it. There is a difference. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 I thought you were merely stating was that what HPJ said was what you had said some time previously. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 You haven't upset me, but you just have now by asking what you have done when if you had taken the time to look back at the previous post, Sylvester asked if he had said what you had said, which I said he had. Just to pull you up at your own game because you are far too pedantic... And this post adds what to the overall conversation? Could this be a rather banal post pointing out who did what or not as the case may be, that you are so against? Could it be that Oli has broken his own spamming rule? Quote
