declanwmagee Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Some coins are difficult but not reflected by Spink.I had been seeking a decent 1958 6d I now have 6d's back to the mid 30's in Unc.Another hard coin is the 1915 farthing...even the common one rarely appears in nice condition on Colin Cookes list...I've been tucking these away Yes, it's interesting to see which coins have eluded me. After 5 years or so of buying whatever comes up first, so long as it was better than I had, there are distinct gaps. If they had turned up, I would have bought them, so they obviously just didn't show.Time to get a bit more deliberate in my purchasing this year...as well as getting on some mailing lists. It's worth contacting a few old school dealers who not only are not on eBay, but aren't even on the internet, I think. Quote
Peckris Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I did, yes, but you can always find a better UNC. The fact that it's taken me this long to get one indicates that I shouldn't turn down another. 2 come along at once, etc - often happens!Ah, it's just that now you have one, I won't go hobbling around my flat trying to find mine ... well, not as a matter of urgency anyway Some coins are difficult but not reflected by Spink.I had been seeking a decent 1958 6d I now have 6d's back to the mid 30's in Unc.Another hard coin is the 1915 farthing...even the common one rarely appears in nice condition on Colin Cookes list...I've been tucking these away I agree. Though having tracked down the rare one, I'm not bothering with the regular issue - I've got a 1911 and 1917 in UNC. Quote
