    It means you offer it to me first, and in the unlikely event I'd refuse, at least I'd be head of the queue!

    Shows the differences between collectors - it would have been my first thought! But then I am a type collector now.
  3. Peckris 2
    Hmm. Methinks you missed my (dreadful) pun. I'll get me coat.
  4. Peckris 2
    I think THE most obvious difference is the rim - it's very much wider on the pattern.

    I thought we'd already agreed it was Obverse 5 (the dink in the forehead)?

    I'd LOVE one in that condition! If you ever upgrade I'll happily buy that off you.

    Ok, here's a question that seems obvious (to me!) - why didn't you decide to sell most of the collection apart from one choice example of each type?

    1953 VIP Proof set

    Peckris 2 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Thanks Mike. It's hard to determine a VIP proof when there were normal proofs in that year. Why wouldn't they issue VIPs with early strikes of an 'ordinary' proof set? In any case, the real determiner - the penny - is the normal proof issue, as has been pointed out.

    Oh god, I hope not! It's bad enough we have to put up with the appalling abortion of a word "attendee".

    Peckris 2 replied to Martinminerva's topic in Wanted

    Well, yeah, but the non-existant word 'inheritee' had been used so many times above! I just couldn't let it rest...

    Mr. Grumpy.

    Peckris 2 replied to Michael-Roo's topic in Decimal Coins

    No, I meant the one that advertises a tiny gold coin designed by 'a descendant of Pistrucci'.
  15. Peckris 2

    Mr. Grumpy.

    Peckris 2 replied to Michael-Roo's topic in Decimal Coins

    That one wasn't even the RM - the London Mint Office or something fatuous like that.
  16. Peckris 2
    I saw them 7 times in all, but only one of those was in the post-Moon era.

    Good but...

    Mr. Grumpy.

    Peckris 2 replied to Michael-Roo's topic in Decimal Coins

    Why is Tony Robinson coming to mind? Mind you, that other advert for a grossly overpriced gold coin does quote the name Pistrucci .. wonder who that's aimed at?

    I don't have my Obverse 5 to hand but from memory it looks right.

    "The coin is slightly worn"

    I'd go with NEF

    Estimates are simply the auction house's "finger in the air" which may or may not be based on past experience. Also bear in mind that some are "come and get me" estimates, set artificially low to encourage a bidding war.

    Yes, I've been looking for an affordable EF example forever. Silly question! I'd say the top grade for both is VERY RARE but give me the 1926...
  25. Peckris 2
    Not for me - it's a very nice example.
