  1. It all depends on the pre decimal.I would take a stab at the other (junk?) at £50. To part with £350 for a collection which includes a biscuit tin I would worry.
  2. I think VF money nails it due to the rim knocks at 10 o'clock on the reverse. A pleasing type a
  3. Yes, Davies is the "bible" since 1816, though Dave's book is really good for 20thC. For pre-1816 milled you would need to add English Silver Coinage since 1672 (ESC - Raynor) though that does need updating in the light of more recent varieties discovered. Stage right...Mr Pearce
  4. I think you maybe disappointed
  5. I wish this wouldn't happen.It just sets me another interest/goal/task.
  6. Seems reasonable for a "cash for gold" set up...there are rip off boys out there. However any scrap goes to proper set ups without the overheads.
  7. Personally I would keep the 2 halves together.The crack would of knocked its value.2 halves from a rare coin IMO is just as desirable.
  8. Be afraid of any cleaning.If in doubt don't do it. I bought a decent tarnished 1937 crown cheaply.I gave it my best then I've gave it to Mrs PETER who put it through a wash/dry then the mangle and now I have a lump of 50% silver bullion.
  9. You can say that again
  10. Rather than dip the whole coin a cotton bud with a drop of dip and a soaked cocktail stick can get you improvements.This is for silver only. I've tried pure acetone and olive oil and have a few good % bad outcomes.
  11. http://www.rarecoinsandtokens.co.uk/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=770&zenid=127oaq1seu25ihk96l62lg93q6 I know which I prefer. It is £76
  12. I would just return it to the dealer.It would be a £125/50 coin uncleaned
  13. Shame about the cleaning.The old girl has no edge knocks.
  14. Which customs problem? A guy on another forum had to pay customs to receive his coins back.Later I will try to find a link.
  15. I have been actively picking out BU examples of 1/2p,1p and 2p.(I have dates missing) I also bought US Cents to 2005 a while back.That is a couple of areas I need to look at.
  16. I thought there were custom problems and the next Heritage auction is months away. Slabbed prices are crazy.
  17. Took the plunge 2 years ago and bought ladders,wallpaper strippers,and basically decent tools. However my eldest came home with a kitten and he has taken a liking to the hallway wallpaper Oh well it keeps me busy. Looking for another property. Stuff QS ing

  21. Coins worth £1 max are selling for silly money.The buyers are pathetic or part of the set up. 1963 1d,1955 1/-,1948 florin.....about £2 from a good dealer.
