penguin Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Afternoon everyone! Your oppinions would be welcome please. Quote
Rob Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 No missing colon. It looks like there is a faint pimple where the lower stop should be. Given the low grade of the coin it is almost inevitable that what was probably a weak feature in the first place can only degenerate further. Quote

Given the low grade of the coin it is almost inevitable that what was probably a weak feature in the first place can only degenerate further.Either wear or a partially filled die. For some years (1920 for example) these are quite common and not generally considered collectible. Quote

A file, some sand paper and voila, colon disappeared. Quote

Danz Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Hi. I have a 06 penny with missing colons. Possibly wear. Quote
azda Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Geez did you buy this from surrey*coins, or are you said eBay member surrey*coins? Quote
Coinery Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Geez did you buy this from surrey*coins, or are you said eBay member surrey*coins?Not sure Surrey******* could've sat calmly by for the best part of a year (as Danz has) without responding to the 'occasional' time the **** name has been taken in vain!

scott Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 or just 1906 was a horrible year for striking. Quote
declanwmagee Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 or just 1906 was a horrible year for striking.I think it was, yes, but that coin's been scrubbed! Quote
azda Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 bought.What was it described as Danz? UNC or so? Quote
Danz Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Some of his UNCs are worseHow do they get away with it. Quote
Peter Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 and I thought he only sold shillings....oh is that the right word Quote
Rob Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Some of his UNCs are worseHow do they get away with it. Because people (like yourself) buy what's on offer. If nobody bought, the problem might just go away or at least reduce in volume. If 75% out of a bag of 100 pieces of crap sells for even £3-4 each, the chances are that represents a profit of a couple hundred quid. As a seller, that's a no brainer. Quote

I have been getting better and will only go for items with a good pic. I have also left neg FB if that badly over graded and the pic didn't highlight a prob. Quote
