Well here are the results of a little TLC on the 1888 Halfpenny below.

Peter ...take a minute,the guy has explained why he wants a 1888 set. Most ,such as ones i have sold you can pick up already slabbed cheap I used to buy loads already slabbed for less than the slabbing fee. You need to remember not everyone is an expert and some coins are easier to sell after the £15 slabbing fee. Alternatively i recently paid £20 for a 1961 penny as had a gap. Am i a mug.....Probably. Am i stuck for £20......not if it helps me compleat a slabbed date run Lots of people want different things ,some want modern decimals and some lunatics collect farthings I would never advise someone to send a coin for slabbing thats upto them. Although i recently had one slabbed i paid £4 for off ebay although they say £375. I am not saying its worth £375 but think the slabbing fee was worth paying. Got to spend the time and look at what is worth slabbing and whats not. Some coins (pennies) i can sell at a big premium ,but have spent hours looking at prices. Worst case senario i seem to get my money back if already in plastic. Chill out ......you dont send them ,but dont be blinkered as there is benefits The big plus is some pennies in a slab are way to cheap and worth more broken out........but thats another thread Alternatively the ones that are expensive , i dont have a problem selling for more than i paid for them.

Hi Jerry thanks for the comment and pointing out about the second 8 I have now done that. I just used a slall amount of acetone and a Q Tip and just rubbed it gently it worked well. Well pleased with the results.

Yes maybe Brogan just wants to do everyones head in Alternatively maybe list for £1,000,000 on ebay
