A few upgades purchased yesterday 1897 that is a lot better than the normal ones 

Not the best picture as just done on my phone.

Nice Penny what grade is it please I do like this

 

[PWA 1967]

Its in a cgs slab graded 80 and scarce in high grade although the picture is RANG 

I have been looking for a good one for ages so happy with this

Apart from Richard's one, I've only ever seen VF tops of this. Very jealous.

Well potted, Pete. Never seen an 1897 dot in UNC. In fact never seen one with lustre before.

This is the only other one I know of, better than VF.

I am none the wiser What is a Dot Penny please explain as new to everything about pennies

[Paulus]

Dirty great boulder between the O and the N

[PWA 1967]

Its got a DOT over the O in one not really a big deal but collectable and Freeman lists it

It's a flaw found on this year of pennies, you can see the dot in between the O and N of ONE on the reverse. It's more than likely the result of a damaged die but some theories suggest it was a purposeful indicator for various reasons. Just because of the location, prominence and roundness I think it's gained notoriety and become one of the recognised varieties for the year.

Or in layman's terms...  

Although I would say that it is a big deal, a F-VF will cost you 75-150 depending, so something like this one is much more..

Anyone want a low grade for £100 in a cgs slab PM me .

They say £180 but now i have a good one not any use to me so a bargain.

The BU ones seem to be a grand plus.

Thanks for the explanation, could not find any reference in the books I have.

Where did you get that from? Not that you're wrong, I've just never seen one for sale before to even guess at a price.

[PWA 1967]

 

Research on line and asking dealers what they would pay.

General feedback is for a really good one a grand plus .

CGS say £1500 for the one i bought 

[Nordle11]

That's what I mean, what are you researching haha, there's literally no information about realised prices for ones in this grade  

A grand seems fair, I wouldn't hesitate for such a good looking one at that price. I think  £1500 would be the top, top estimate though, juice included.

[secret santa]

I think you're over-estimating the value. I paid £170 for my Aunc specimen (in 2004) but I wouldn't want to pay more than £250 for it now. But I guess it's all down to what someone will pay, as ever.

[PWA 1967]

Dont worry i have bought it and happy whenever i buy a coin i can find out what i should pay

I didnt over estimate anything just said cgs price...did not say what i paid.

Yours was a good buy and i can sell mine today for more than i payed for it .

[PWA 1967]

The one you have Richard i will give you £500 for so your happy if its problem free.

Will put the money in your account straight away.

I think you're a little out of touch then Richard  The variety certainly has come leaps and bounds in the last 10 years , I can't see an UNC example selling at £250 when the F-VF examples are selling at £100-150 in auction (that's before the juice). I would be extremely happy with that at £250!

[PWA 1967]
