PWA 1967 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I dont know if anyone can help me please as i have asked a couple of dealers over the last few days and they dont have a clue. I have a 1858 Large rose Large date to sell graded CGS 70 AUNC UIN 42529 and a good one but nothing to compare it with. CGS have put a price of £125 and the only one they have graded , same price as a normal 1858 and worth more than that. http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&searchterm=1858+Penny+Large+Rose&searchtype=1 The ones in LCA above are the only ones i have seen attributed correctly and most the small date and low grade. Any help on a price or guide would be appreciated ,please message me if you wish. Pete. Quote

blakeyboy Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I saw this had sold on ebay, but why so much? i had a quick look, but i couldn't see what stood out... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-1861-PENNY-BUN-YOUNG-HEAD-QUEEN-VICTORIA-WITH-EXTRA-WIDE-1-IN-THE-DATE-/114202678254?hash=item1a970293ee%3Ag%3AMsIAAOSwGytepumv&nma=true&si=nC%2FKxx5ewG8ofD4W5SAMxxXAsIk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote

As the owner of this piece...I'm still tempted to do this but the rest of the metal looks OK... I think anodized copper wire treatment is the next step; if I can't get all of it off mechanically I'll consider chemical cleaning. Don't think it will ever be problem free though. Quote

This one should bring slightly more, even with the scratches. (retail) 1 Quote

It's a shame - the verd seriously detracts. Quote

Sellers feedback would be hugely off-putting for me. 10 negs, 42 neutral. Doesn't instill confidence. May be wrong tho.😄 Quote
