    Was this a good buy?

    He still has, but it's locked away in his private collection along with his 1952 half crown and numerous 1860 copper farthings! He refused an offer for it of £8,500 in 1999.

    Talking of Farthings, has colin cooke still got his 1864 copper proof farthing?
  4. I agree with Oli, I could definately think of a better way to spend that much money! However, in the future, it will no doubt become more desirable.

    I can see where you are coming from Oli, if only American's adopted our storage methods rather than sending them off to be slabbed and graded like somthing with a label!
  8. Excellent, I muct add that to my long list of uses for churchill crowns! Chris, Can you please tell me if this edge is recorded or not: My Webpage Many thanks, Penny Master (West Ham rule)

    1902 LT Half penny UNC Good Lustre

    You are probably right. I didn't win the item in the end because I said that I wouldn't bid over £100 and the bid finished at £104.52! Someone paid two much!
  10. Hello everyone, My Webpage I am interested in bidding for the item above, and I am just interested in your opinion on how much should I pay for it? I will need it to go in my UNC collection of half pennys from 1902 to 1936. Many thanks, Penny Master

    Chris, I wasn't aware that you had to pay extra for this. In the future, I will try to minimise all applications of my posts eg. using links to websites instead of pictures. Many thanks, Jon Styles.

    Sound's like you had a really good time Oli! Congratulations for your success.

    I like the rainbow toning on Silver proof soins such as the 1847 gothic florin which is absolutely beautiful.
  16. Half Penny Jon

    New 2 Pence

    My point exactly, it is a shame that the American grading system cannot accept the sheer beauty of a nicely toned proof.
  17. Half Penny Jon

    New 2 Pence

    I know, the grading system is so wrong. I can't believe they would favour a shiny coin instead of a nicely toned proof.
  18. Half Penny Jon

    I don't like american grading because they dont look for the same things as the British grading system.

    Some really ridiculous eBay listings

    I don't intend to because I can't imagine an uglier coin.

    My Favourite Modern Coin

    Yes, you can just about see the H below the date.
  21. Half Penny Jon

    Has't this been cleaned?

    I'm not into hammered but I definately would not pay any more than £80 for it because the cleaning is so obvious.
  22. Half Penny Jon

    1926 florin

    LOL!
  23. Half Penny Jon

    My Favourite Modern Coin

    I think that the H is below the date in the victorian series. The H is only there in the George V series.

    My Favourite Modern Coin

    Craig and Jon are both good friends to me and I admire their hobby entirely. It is just Cecil the computer sha**er who gets on my nerves.

    I would say that as well because of the 3 lions. Jersey coins don't always have the portrait of the queen.
