  1. I noticed the London Coins auction is now also posted on www.the-saleroom.com, although it's still not an online auction. I wonder if this may mean they plan on eventually making their auctions available online.
  2. You are not the only one.

    Try the link at the top of this page, or barring that, John (argentumandcoins), Stuart (coinery), Derek (redriley) or me on this forum. I don't think Clive (historiccoinage) has things this modern. Others - Michael Gouby, Colin Cooke, the list is endless. Apologies for anyone I've forgotten. You've forgotten yourself Rob (rpcoins).
  4. Remarkable how much value a little plastic can add to a coin... link
  5. Wasn't there a signficiant auction of British gold coins in Japan not too many years ago?

    And equally can't spell - note "luster" for "lustre" Blimey, even at the quoted 'aUNC' his asking price is a tad on the high side! In some parts of the world -- that is the correct spelling

    Are these edge variations really significant enough to warrant requiring an example of each to consider your collection complete? I honestly don't think so.

    Yes. And how are the mighty fallen : sold for well over £9k by Colin Cooke in 2008, and only £4k in the London auction.. My mistake -- my mind was on farthings The CC coin does not appear to be the same one that sold in the London Coins sale.

    American Rainbow Tone

    Those defending it will be those who have most to lose, the very people who doctor the coins and sell them on at vastly inflated prices----IMO Many of the ones defending these 'toned' coins are those who collect them and they are in for very rude awakening.
  13. For anyone who might be interested... link
  14. Let's see -- an 1893-S encapsulated silver dollar with a CC mintmark on the reverse with multiple examples available from mainland China. I wonder how much it is really worth
  15. Even with the 25K loss, the seller was fortunate. Cannot say the same for the buyer.
  16. Reserve has been posted at $200K ($235K with commission)... link
  17. I've submitted my bids already but I notice that when you click on "Bid Live" it pops up with: "This facility will be made available on the day of the auction." Promising, but I'd ring them today to be sure - 020 7016 1700. Based on their prior sales, that is exactly the case -- live bidding is only available on the day(s) of the sale.

    After reading what you have written on the subject of currency vs proof wreath crowns, I think you are probably being too modest,

  20. I used to think 34 was old. Now I know better. Have a great birthday!
  21. If any of you ever frequent US coin forums you'll very quickly see that a number of collectors are paying huge premiums often many multiples of market price for attractively toned coins and goodness help anyone who might suggest to them that these coins have had some help in getting that way.
