azda Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 The latestcoi news digital arrived in my inbox today andthis month they have given pennyprixes, a different denomination each month, the 1904 in UNC was rated at £185 Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Wow really, I'd say a lot lower than that, maybe with buyer's premium and tax but that's a hefty figure..I've seen a few stunners go up to about 125 but not much more.Do they use auction house statistics only do you know? Quote
Prax Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Here's one for me that arrived a few days ago, courtesy of Mr. Magee..The 1926 penny is a very under-rated year and you seem to have bagged a very high grade dolly there. Edited April 27, 2015 by Prax Quote

azda Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Not sure where their figures are from but i've artached part of the digital copy for you too see Quote

How can one subscribe to Coin News? Perhaps one needs to be a member of BNTA? Quote
azda Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Lol, errr no Prax, just log onto their website and subscribe. Also UNC is UNC in English by English auction houses, graders and dealerswww.tokenpublishing.com Edited April 27, 2015 by azda Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Well there you have it, it certainly would have to look like it just came out of the collar for me to fork over 185 though..And thanks for the kind words on the '26, it really is top notch and even nicer in hand. I am going easiest to hardest in a way, just working my way backwards from 1967 Quote

I am going easiest to hardest in a way, just working my way backwards from 1967 How did you get past 1954, 1952, 1937 (Ed.8) and finally 1933? You've already done the hard work. 1 Quote
azda Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) This was my 1904 ö Edited April 28, 2015 by azda Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Just thought i would look how much i paid for mine and that was £90 nearly two years ago.Makes me think you will probably have to pay about that for a decent one if not more. Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah for sure, I was expecting to pay something just over the 100 mark for a good example. I waited a year for that ´26 so hopefully something comes up soon! Quote
azda Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Nice, how much and when?@Rob - It was bought maybe 3 years ago during my penny phsae, since sold it i think lol, price, i think around the £60 mark Edited April 28, 2015 by azda 1 Quote
jelida Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Sadly the £3 possible 'open 3' 1863 on Ebay turned out to be just another photo illusion, however here is one that I got for a fiver at the last midland coin fair.Just how common is this type ? Is it simply a case of them not previously being recognized, but being fairly plentiful in reality? Or are they truly as scarce as LCA prices might suggest? I have found two over the past 4 months, a 2 Euro one on Ebay and the one above, neither better than VG condition, but I hold out hopes of one in fine or better eventually. Have the other penny buffs on this forum come across them?Jerry Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Think you better start looking for me , well done and good finds. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry in answer to your first question think they are scarce but seem to now be turning up more often as more people such as yourself start looking for them.With regards L.C.A. strong possibility the are hyping them up , as more are found the prices drop.There is obviously a lot more than the six in the satin book fifteen years ago.

Prax Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Jerry,Still a scarce coin. I have seen a fair few in grades below F and very few in grades above VF.Good find you. Can't beat a fiver. If I were u I would have paid 10 times that for the coin and still felt satisfied with my purchase.P Quote
VickySilver Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I am definately suspicious of this or the narrow 7s, etc. only being rarity by virtue of many being overlooked. I don' t even care to add one to my own penny collection - in case you didn't get it, I rather dislike the "hypervarietals". OK, I admit I do have a fair stash of 1864 serif and crosslet 4 pennies. Maybe I'll get around to posting a couple... Quote
Mr T Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I don' t even care to add one to my own penny collection - in case you didn't get it, I rather dislike the "hypervarietals".While I agree on the case of the open 3, the narrow date 1877 is a distinct reverse isn't it? Quote
VickySilver Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Got me there! Still don't believe these are worth more than a choice 1864, let alone an 1882 London... Quote
