Mary worked in a bar kitchen. After becoming a housewife, she gradually likes hunting treasure. On Sundays, Mary would bring a metal detector, together with her 33-years-old son Mike, come to the Hertfordshire nearby fields to their six hours regular treasure hunting. Within seven years, Mary and her son's treasure hunting activity never stopped. Her metal detector searched through almost every inch of land on the outskirts of Hertfordshire, but no achievement all the time. After seven years continuous explorations, she finally found a 500-years-old gold thin piece, valued more than 250,000 pounds. The thin gold has the length of 2.8 cm and the width of 2.3 cm, with high quality, carved with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit "Trinity" pattern on the front. Historians speculate that it may be a 15th-century decoration.

I took the lot to LCA at the Midland fair today, and met Semra. She had no issues taking the lot back, just said they'd have to check their records before sending a refund cheque out. So far so good.

Bill would be an excellent choice, overhauling the staff should be his priority

When i think of Semra and her telephone/email manners i usually think of a pitbull chewing a wasp, god knows how she got into customer services

Dave, slabbed coins have been sent to a grading company, authenticated and graded so you should know that they are not fake and their condition has been assessed. The grading company, in this case CGS, then enclose the coin in a plastic "slab" to ensure the coin remains undamaged, unhandled, and the condition does not therefore change.

Personally, I think my example has more eye appeal (and wallet appeal) than their coin:

Apparently Bill Pugsley is NOT exempt from the wrath of Semra, he has slabbed 4000 coins with CGS and has just mentioned he has to pay the fee. Also another problem has arisen when you have to submit to an agent, you post to the agent and the agent posts to CGS and again in reverse, so that will incur 4x postal charges, it's going well already

Just got the 1 myself
