Yeah his was the Mead example, but unfortunatly it ends with Tyssen at the moment with the buyer being “shaw”. I’ve got two lines of provenance which I’m certain off just gaps at the moment..

Thanks Rob, I’m certainly getting there, have identified it in a number of sales. Two pieces I know off. One beginning with earl of oxford and the other beginning it’s collecting life with Richard Mead. I know the one in the Marmaduke sale being described as “fine and rare” is most likely the latter piece.

Thanks for the input Paddy, I did ask someone with the same catalogue and they have young as the buyer. Just wanted to query it to make certain.

The 87,93 and 37 are all very nice which makes them desirable but with the mintage numbers considered are well over priced now. I would like any of the coins from either sets though cant bring myself to spend what they fetch now. If people keep paying they'll keep climbing...

sometimes grading better after conservation false economy.

cer Certainly! Atlas seems to use Heritage alot (to source and to sell stock that's been sitting) Estimates on their lots always overly high. They seem to look after them. Like someone said previously, they seem to have a very wealthy budget.

IMO it could almost be the exact same photo, with a few filters adjusted.. Hue etc

Are you beginning to restock the Baldwin basement

Thanks for this Rob, I am interested in the 78 SNC though let me see what I have left after invoice. Got a feeling its literally wiping me out again! It'll be next month if this is the case.

Morning Chaps, Has anyone got a copy of SNC Feb 1978? I've just acquired 1821 PR HC from yesterdays Spink auction though in description states "Spink Numismatic Circular, February 1978, no. 1921 - £420 - 'Proof as issued in sets, rare, toned'" which I am guessing they've just got the wrong No. with no sets being produced this year? Would just be nice to get clarification if not just to correct it on my ticket i make. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Jay

or if someone can clarify they did produce sets of this year, just never seen an intact set in case.

Welcome PlatinumSkies1, Great vids on youtube.

Mostly problem coins on offer to be fair and the communications i've had with them seem odd also.

very nice, where did you aquire it?

Item no. 202162280662

Thanks for the info Rob, certainly helps, In Ruding & a BNJ there is mention of a Rev Stebbing Shaw who apparently bought heavily in the last couple of decades of the 18th century. May require a little more research

@Rob Another one for you Rob, I read in the "Coin Acquisition Of The Week Thread" that you had a named and priced Samuel Tyssen Cat. Do you have a name for Lot 2913? I have a price of 3s 10d?

Thanks Rob, I’ll keep an eye on it just to fill that gap.

I agree, he’s mentioned siege though seems to have no idea? Was just wondering a reasonable price to spend on an electrotype, if anyone has a rough guess.

Thank you Rob, yeah does make sense. Yeah won it yesterday. £8 is a good amount in those days!

Does anybody have an annotated copy of the Montagu sale with buyers and prices. Was after info for lot 399. Many Thanks

Apologies. Third portion.

Afternoon Gents, Why isit that alot of the early proofs have die issues. Regarding to alot of the William crowns / halfcrowns. Would there not have been special care taken on these specimen pieces?

The British and Premier sale both seem to Be exciting this time round!

Morning chaps, Does anyone have any good book references on mintage numbers for Early Milled. Looking for numbers if applicable on a number of early milled farthings, George II 1746 proofs and the 1771 George III proof Farthing / Halfpenny. Many thanks
