Thank you Nordle & 1949Threepence! Coudlnt ask for a warmer welcome! I seriously doubt I'll put up any compitition to you guys on here! Picked up this 1862 recently for £49 if I remember correctly.

How about using coin capsules in your tray? I have recently found the ones from 'Windsor Mint' to be nice, rimless, compact and a good fit (31mm for a penny) but you will get bombarded with postal 'special offer' flyers that you should ignore! I use them in my coin cabinet trays, you can handle the coin safely and yet they are well presented. Jerry

Yes Jamie you are like me a penny loony. You have one 1862 and still buy another

Thanks, Just doing the best I can within my budget congrats on the completion, it's no easy feat. Well a toothed/beaded 1860 mule would be nice, although the I've quite a few gaps remaining and major varieties needed also. Im aiming for lustre also, but my pockets ain't bottomless pits lol Can live and hope I suppose. Is it a general consensus that bronze shouldn't be stored open air in like a tray? I bought a lovely glass lidded tray, but now I'm in two minds to make to transfer. Jamie

Some nice coins there, Jamie. Are there any particular bun types you are seeking, out of interest? I've been collecting buns since 2010, and have the entire date run intact. Now trying to complete (as far as is possible) the 1860 and 1861 varieties. Recently completed the 1874 series, I'm pleased to say.

Welcome Jamie, you're in great company here

Yes. It's truly difficult to fathom that if the bidders were genuine, there are people who are really that dense

Welcome Jamie, you're in good hands here being a penny collector. Although most of the people responding will be direct competition for you As is standard practice for a nooblet, post a couple of pictures of some of your favourites for us to enjoy

I would think you cant sell what you dont own and in this case had to be returned. Its like any back to back unless you have the authority to sell on someone elses behalf your an agent etc you cant just sell something that does not belong to you

Presumably "handling stolen goods"

Hi Jamie welcome to the forum. I have only been a member of the forum for a few months, but have been helped a lot from all the guys on here. Mick

Good afternoon and welcome. Hope your not one of the penny loonies Pete.

My latest acquisition broke the bank to get this one. Victorian Crown 1899 LXIII. 2E. T of Victoria to space.
