Asumel Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Does anyone have the latest value for a BU 1929 penny?My latest one is £40 but this is a bit out now. Quote
Peckris Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 CCGB 2014 has it £30 UNC. A BU price isn't listed, but it would be £40 (1930 is £30/£40, and 1930 is a bit more difficult.) Quote

Thanks Take Spink prices for modern with a large pinch of salt - they wouldn't sell one for that price. CCGB is more accurate from a 'real world' perspective. Quote

damian1986 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I'd expect to pay £65 for a gem but then the price curve to fall pretty sharply.e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1929UNC-KING-GEORGE-V-BRONZE-PENNY-/400740606633?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item5d4e0062a9 is not a £50 coin even relative to Spink's £65 in my opinion.

Very little remaining lustre, some rubbing to the cheekbone, average strike ... you'd be lucky to get £20 for that one IMO. I think a real gem COULD rate £65, but not your average BU. Quote

Where's the lustre?I've had a nice 1929 for a while but it's clearly been cleaned in the past, I've kept an eye on the ones on eBay but can never find one cheaper than around £30-40.. Quote

From R&L Coins in Blackpool, of blessed recent mention. Still have it. ) Quote
Nordle11 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Nice penny I don't mind mine, especially as it was a tenner, but it shows some serious haloing around the legend. The rest of it doesn't look to bad but it's a big contrast against the '28 and '30 either side of it! Quote

Nordle11 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Funnily enough I was bidding on this yesterday - Link - and managed to get it for £4.31 The wait paid off..Unfortunately it's the other way for me, the 1930 is pretty much BU however my '32 has a slightly patchy lustre to it, although when looked at in a nice bright light it looks a lot better haha Quote

You did really really well there. Just make sure the coin-in-the-picture is the coin-you-get! Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Well here is my purchase,I don't know if there are any varieties in the 1929 if someone with better knowledge of this could enlighten me.What you you guys grade this and have a guess at what I paid. Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Replaces my rather poor 1929 of course Quote
Peckris Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 The pictures aren't quite as crisp as they might be so I'm going to say GEF or AU. Book price would be around £20 - £25 so I'm guessing you paid less than that? Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Yeh, they are phone pictures so not the best quality and don't compare to it in hand it was sold as BU but I would give it a UNC because its hasn't got as much lustre as a BU But I think I am just being picky, I can't fault it personalyPaid £10 Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Bar the small carbon spot by the O in one Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Better quality pictures busted out the old SLR 1 Quote
Peckris Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 That's unnervingly like Nordle's buy! But still, a worthy tenner's worth (Anyone still reckon Spink's prices bear any relation to the real world?? ) Quote
Asumel Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 bar the carbon spot next to the O i would say they are quite close.Indeed I'm quite happy with it 1 Quote
Nordle11 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Ah, the second lot of pictures is much much better Lovely coin, and what a bargain for a tenner too!!Although yours has the carbon spot (which isn't too intrusive), mine has quite a bit of ghosting by looking at the pictures. I'll soon see when it turns up! Edited August 6, 2014 by Nordle11 Quote
