Did I get a good deal?

I personally love the 1797 twopence, and I think I got a lovely example on eBay. I'd like your opinions.

Not at that price. It is worn quite a bit on both sides. I would have thought something in the £25-35 ballpark. On the plus side, it is remarkably free of edge knocks which makes it more desirable, so perhaps you could up it marginally.

It is difficult - I've never actually managed to work it out - to put a link up when operating from an iPhone, it is the bane of my own life. Gratefully, I'm on the laptop for now!

As Rob has mentioned, it has a superb edge, and every collector must have one! Welcome aboard, have a good read around the previous posts, there's plenty to learn, and maybe post some pictures up of your new coin when it arrives!

Pretty common on these coins to find blocked dies. There was always so much stray copper around, it's a miracle the problem was never worse, really!

Was it you who won it? It's a nice mid-grade example - some wear, not too much, good rim. Worth the price it went for, I'd say. Only blemish is that 9 but that's not really bad.

Yes I won it! Cheers I've always wanted a nice example, one of my favorite coins!

Mine too

(It's not that blotchy in-hand, but you know how scans are. And it's been enlarged double size in Photoshop which doesn't do it any favours either.)

They are great coins, though I like the penny even better! Ironically, in view of the CGS debate, the nicest one I've ever had I got slabbed, and then felt somehow detached from it, so ultimately let it go!

I don't currently have a nice example myself, more is the shame!

That is a very good point Stuart, and one of the factors in my CGS Trial ... I hardly ever look at my few slabbed coins because they are not with the others, and I am starting to lose touch with them ... increasingly I won't care if I sell them, which I never would have believed pre-slabbing!!

[RChris]

The only two slabbed pennies I've bought I cracked open - hate the things with a passion! Where's the pleasure in not being able to touch your coins - I just don't get it. If it's all about value, I'll be dead before my coins are sold so I don't care what they realise when I'm gone.

My only experience with CGS has been an enquiry about the 1919KN they've had on offer for ages. It was £3K about a year ago but when I enquired about and made a £2K offer I had no reply and the next time I looked they'd put it up to £3250! I also pointed out that an example they sold in a previous auction for half the price looked better than this one which they reckon is "the finest known"....I had no reply to that either.
