Believe me when you SELL them you will be greatfull of any bids and if its a collector or dealer that pushes the price up a £1 ($1) is all the same regardless of who gives it you. Richard mentioned pennies selling in the Workman sale of which i know a collector bought 7/8 and a couple of other collectors quite a lot between them both, if those three people hadnt bid then most would of gone for a lot lot less. If Atlas did buy some or any other dealer from the Workman sale, they had the same oportunity and the same pound notes as anyone else and what they chose to offer them for after the sale is up to them. Buying something for £20,000 and then asking £40,000 doesnt always work out 😀.

I'm just praying that Atlas will be bidding when I sell my collection !

Obverse 5. The giveaway is the dent on her forehead. Another pointer, is the scalloped middle leaf, top three. Both are peculiar to obv 5, as is the LCW, to reverse E. It can also be identified by the centre veins of the leaves. Whether single or double. The REG F D colons also have a different relationship with the inner circle compared to the other, 1 thru 7 obverses. Bob.

The majority of the most expensive coins in last week's Workman sale of pennies went to a single bidder - it will be interesting to see whether they turn up on Atlas' site.

The Coin Discord server pretty much unanimously do not like them or their model. They're almost a gag at this point. Too many on there have likewise experienced Atlas throwing on bids till they win, only to find later Atlas just list at double their cost on eBay and their website. It's one thing to lose to other collectors, but they're just flippers with obscene markups, and accumulate so many gorgeous and rare pieces in the process. Very distasteful, and though some people may champion such a model, many of us don't. Good point, to note to anyone handling my collection, that Atlas instructively not be involved ha.

I'm not sure; I've called it a pattern but I've not seen it in hand so it might be a proof but it's probably unique being struck with reverse Freeman K which has the non-heraldically coloured shield.
