  2. perfect advice there are plenty out there to choose from
  3. I would upgrade, but take your time to get coins with a similar tone, you should have plenty of choice. Good luck, Jerry
  4. Alan's son Lief has a large part to play these days. Maybe that's the reason. Still, not had a problem with them though. I bought a token in the last sale which had a spot of verdigris, so he offered me a better one instead at the same price. Very happy.
  5. Hi - I'm new to this group. I bought the 7 silver 1887 jubilee head coins some years ago - Over time these have developed an equal toning. Four of these are graded EF but the other 3, unfortunately, are only graded as VF. My question is: Do I buy 3 EF coins to make them all the same grade or would doing this devalue the set as the toning wont be the same Thanks in advance.

    Scrap value is just over £8 and so you can't complain.

    George VI Davissons

    I have been somewhat saddened by what appears to be the demise of that company. I used to communicate with Alan about coins and got some quite decent pieces from him years ago & do hope he is well. I still look at their "offerings" but have not bid for quite a few years now. Well, here's to hoping the ship can be righted.... PS - really superb currency George VI crowns are hard to come by as I believe the planchets were not well cared for and there are nearly always bag marks, including in key areas. Same is generally true of the George V 1935 Jubilee crown issues.

    £7 sounds ok to me, even with the holes.
  11. I have pared down my collection areas recently, one of my current passions is Charles I halfcrowns. I most recently acquired this difficult 1645 Oxford example, so that I now have at least 1 half-decent example of each year for that mint (1642-46).
  12. You may be right, something’s definitely adrift? The starting prices are crazy-high too, I can’t even begin to imagine them selling.

    George VI Davissons

    Yes I saw those - he has previously been possibly a bit conservative but believe that to be a family business. Is there now another hand involved with the grading and cataloguing?

    That's what my ex wife used to say. Told me, if I behaved myself, we could have another female instead, one day........

    I used to get weakness at 12and 6 o''clock- turned out to be too much coffee....

    1902 Matte Proof Half Crown /Grading Askew?

    Wish it was mine!

    A nice enough example - some collectors are a lot less bothered about rim holes than others. I have an UNC 1826 halfcrown with graining weaknesses at 12 and 6 o’clock indicating it might have been held in a brooch or something similar. It’s never bothered me in the slightest.
  20. I'm puzzled about this. Edward V was never crowned king, and during his brief spell as monarch Richard III would have controlled the Mint. After Bosworth it would have been moot anyway.
  21. I really like the idea of a monarch run!
  22. I think the only definitely attributable coins to Edward V are the angels. TWW made a good case for this.

    it was in one of those lovely plastic envelopes can be bloody hard to open, I thought £7 was a good deal, so I coughed up and shoved it in my pocket...a done deal..... until later on that day.... I took a look at the outer edge.....top & bottom holes drilled prized out of jewellery ? and you know even though you cant see them....I always know they are there. please do show some of your horrors and let downs......its good to share... 👍
  24. 1860 halfpenny with R/R and possibly E/I or P?
  25. I think if you had the groats S2146 and S2146A, one of them would be Edward V - but you wouldn't know which one (I've gone with S2146A, but could well be wrong!)

    the reverse look nice as well...a nice tone.....
