Penny Acquisition of the week
Bruce replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Just tried the convex lens few minutes ago, it's so hard to hold it stable to make the zoom correct. I have to admit i'm too poor in taking picture. For the 1881 Penny, it is a Reverse J in view of where the sea stop on both side. However, the lighthouse seems not as fat as it should be and position of the rock on right of the lighthouse as well....or am i wrong about the understanding of the lighthouse of the 1881 Penny. -
Sorry if this was discussed before. For the edge incused letters of 1953 5 Shillings, there is 2 types, obverse up and reverse up, may i know if any statistics about numbers of each type and its correlation with different reverses? Or is it too common n worthless to do so?

1953 5 Shillings Edge Letters
Bruce replied to Bruce's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Got it, i think it is almost 50:50 as well, so that it is not talked about in the past. -
Maybe it is only an auction house representation for slight worn coin? If they said it's worn, then potential buyer likely go away. If it is said cabinet friction, then people may think hm...it's ok, friction only, then likely placing bid. Then, auction house has their job done to sell it n grab the meaty commission.

A real bargain for the large rose, great👍 -
Murray finally claimed titles for 3 times in past 10 years, while England still nothing (personally think the best chance was gone in 2018). In 2012, England knocked out by penalties in round of 16, so Chris your prediction is not far away😉.

Thanks both for the info.

Just have a look at my 1858 penny received a while ago, is it look like a 1858/3?
-
Me too....

Hi Jerry, i asked for pictures from them by email before, then no reply for a week or only some inconsistent quality pictures received, some good some average, which were unable to use to define variety etc. However, Bruce is kind when i talk with him over the phone. In May coin list, i found 1872 National Thanksgiving medal specification seems not Wyon's n he admitted mistake n apologize for it. Maybe they are just stick in old school style in doing business.
-
Yes agree, there are way too many varieties and i think I won't be able to get most varieties at the end, but with something to chase means I am still able to enjoy the hunting 😆. By the way, I am enjoying learning the knowledge from senior members here. Applause all for that👍.
-
Missed out a 1849 years ago, n didn't meet one since then. Also, don't have a deep pocket for 1860, so give up already😓😓. However, if counting all varieties, OT, PT, etc and quality, I'm still miles away😅.
-
Great, thanks in advance for your help
-
Yes, it's hard to find a nice 1845 penny, which is one of my missing puzzles in young head penny series. Nice acquisition 👍

Why Do I Bother With Spink? Where is the Wootton Sale?
Bruce replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think it will be delayed, as it is too close to the shilling, sixpence n maundy one on 27th. I guess that's why it is greyed out. Wait for new date to be set n announced. -

I only have a small silver one in RM paper envelope, a lovely small piece. A bit regret not to have a large one before right now😅😅 -

Yesterday was my first time to participate in Noonans auction since their revamp in webpages, but i found no voice n video was available during live bid through my android cell phone. In PC, it's totally fine. Am i missed anything in setting? By the way, price seems up again, 1897 jubilee silver medal with case was hammered at over 200, n some other gothic florins at over 500, 600 as well. -

I see. By the way, I always don't like the way they are showing their pictures now in archive pages. Once the picture is opened, i cannot switch to other sites or pictures for easy comparison. -

For existing catalogue, it should be right above lots. For past result, it is in auction - lot archive. -
Good, if they can sell this, more and more of the same must be offered by them in near future.
-
Interesting, would like to learn the reason behind as well.

When i click Important Information for Buyer, nothing is showing up. Do they mention buyer's premium in the new site? Seems i am unable to locate it, though i presume there is no change.
