Rob Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Rush of blood - won Lot334 the tower mint halfcrown ...Rush of blood? Should that not be gush of blood? You should be bled dry at that level. Good provenance though. I think it goes back to Trattle. Edited May 14, 2015 by Rob Quote

Rob Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I cannot tell a lie.............................. it wasn't me. Quote
Colin88 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 It was me......I have an email from Mr Omogulu in Nigeria saying that I about to get £20m and I only have to give him my bank details....sorted ! Quote
Rob Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 It's a pretty outstanding day for emphasising the value of a decent provenance.As I intimated a couple weeks ago, the ryal I bought cost me roughly the hammer price of lot 290, that for a coin which is at least half a grade higher and not creased. All in all, I'm quite happy to have no liquidity today.Nicholas. There is another one in comparable grade, with a similar level of defects at different points to this one. Quote

jaggy Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I bid on lot 468 but was quite a lot under the hammer. Bit of a blessing in disguise as there are a number of coins at London Auctions that are high on my buy list. Quote

pokal02 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Some silly prioces just because it's Slaney? Surely the 1601 shilling, looking overgraded at VF, was worth nearer £250-300 gross than £700 net?? Quote
