alfnail Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Anyone else watching the 1862 8/6 which was on ebay for 5 days, with two low bids, and then mysteriously disappeared? Quote

alfnail Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Here it it Jerry, pretty sure of type even though a little blurred around numeral. Not a bad grade either:- 1862 GREAT BRITAIN PENNY - Rare Date HIGH Quality Coin - Big Value - Lot #A5 | eBay 1 Quote

Slaney, middle name of the person who put the collection together. Alderley and Cheshire collection - they live there. etc etc. To throw people off the scent, I shall name my collection the 'Oddball Collection' given its eclectic character. I imagine many collectors do not want their address known as they might have another collection of valueable stuff ie Moorecroft , crystal , guns etc . It really is very foolish to potentially let the world know your house is full of lovely stuff to pinch. Quote

copper123 Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 What sort of grade was the 1862 ? Anything above fine is very rare Quote

Zo Arms Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Just a quick question. Would this be considered to be an open 3? Bottom looks right but top is not as open as Freeman's illustration. Bob. Quote
