Another coin from the same seller.

Chris, my aplogies as I thought that by typing the website address directly into the text of my message it would make it "non-clickable". Apparently, I was wrong.

Chris...yes I did indeed misinterpret Oli's post thinking he meant that the firm had been bought off by one of my countrymen. The website can be found at www.certifiedgbcoins.com/CCI/Investment.htm

JMD...I have only one slabbed coin in my collection, a penny of George III. I bought it that way and have never bothered to remove it. Oli... It looks like a home grown British firm to me. Provided Chris has no qualms about it, I can post the website address so that you can see for yourselves.
-
Unfortunately, we Americans have no monopoly on bad taste. I recently came across a British coin site where every single coin offered for sale is slabbed.

Custard..after all he did admit "I never accept coins that aren't up to scratch".
-
Chris....According to the ebay listing "The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or Reserve amount". Even in ending his auction, this seller proved to be incapable of telling the truth. Perhaps he should go into politics.

Sylvestor... I wonder if in making the Edward V reference, this fellow may have been thinking of Edward VIII and so out of the rare 1933 Penny of George V and the equally well known rarities of Edward VIII emerged the hybrid of Edward V. Nearly all of the 1933 pennies for which I've seen photos had been darkened at the mint. The one exception to this that comes to mind was sold at auction in 1972 and had been part of a 1933 proof set.

Sylvestor's right about this being a photo of a genuine 1933 Penny. It appears to be the one depicted on Tony Clayton's website. Here are links to the obverse and reverse photos: 1933 Obverse 1933 Reverse Now if we can just figure out how this coin ended up in the seller's loft...

I think that Iranian can be used...one could say an English penny Yes, i should definately stay out of foreign and ancient coins...sorry if i wasted your time I think that the language spoken in Iran is a Persian language called Farsi. -
New British (maybe world) coin record

The gold "penny" has now been now been written up and is pictured on the Spink website. -
I want one of these
Coppers replied to custard1966's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think I've seen at least three mint state 1869s up for sale in the past year -- this one, the one Dragonbrit had for sale, and one at a major auction in California. Anyone see any others? -

Here's an article on it.... New Discovery -
Yet another rarity!
Coppers replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
This auction ended early with the comment that the item was no longer available for sale. Did the same thing happen earlier with an 1869 Penny that Dragonbrit had up for auction on ebay? -

Coppers replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Jon... Some time ago, I had heard that this particular coin had once one of the finest known, but that in a misguided attempt to improve upon nature, it had been turned into an unnatural looking orange, then subsequently slabbed MS-65 Red by NGC. Any possibility that the toning occured after it was slabbed? -
I have found some predecimal currency coins

Jon...I hope you are not being overly optimistic -
1933 1d? Well almost.... 1933 1d

Coincraft Catalogues
Coppers replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
And the winners of the Coincraft catalogues are... Emperor Oli and Half Penny Jon. Congratulations! A flip of the coin determined that Oli will receive the 1999 issue and Jon the 1998. If you each will let me know where to send the book to, I'll have them shipped out next week. -
I have two older editions of the Coincraft Standard Catalogue -- specifically 1998 and 1999 -- that are just gathering dust. I thought that there might be two other members of this forum that could use such a catalogue. My only stipulation is that you must currently be a student in good standing. If more than two of you are interested, I'll be writing your names down on slips of paper and choosing two names at random.

Coppers replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks, Jon! I will. There should be quite a few dealers in British coins there. -

So far I've heard from both Oli and Jon. I'll be at the ANA in Pittsburgh this Friday and will post the names of the winners on Saturday. -

Coppers replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
So far Oli has requested to be in the "running". Any/all requests to be included should be made no later than this Friday (August 20th). -
A collector friend of mine emailed me today to take a look at this remarkable proof sixpence now up for sale on ebay. Curiously, the seller has a 100 percent positive feedback. 1879 Proof Sixpence
-
Denis...one other series you may want to take a look at are British Trade Dollars.

Agreed. I doubt that it will sell even at its current price.
