    I found the Tesco burgers on our local pub menu.They were under starters.When they were served to me I took one sniff and THERE OFF.

    I would love a quality P&M or even a M....ONE DAY

    Regardless of cost it is whether you can live with it and get than warm glow when you look at it.Nope not for me.

    I think you are a prime suspect for Michael Freemans bronze coinage book initially.There are further references.Your English is good and the illustrations should help you.Wellcome.

    Dave My wallet has stronger elastic than trying to pull a Scots girl lifting up her Knickers from around her ankles.(One in Kenmore...nice holiday.)Although her older sister gave my mate a dose....that was 30 years ago I must admit to buying a few bits of rubbish today.

    I have a massive stack of them. The prices are amazing for rarities and crap. Always a good read. Pre internet I would buy from the adverts.

    A business shiller...sorry seller and one of MP's buddies. What a complete TW*T A grade for that would be poor/fair

    Not even a clever mod, just a misprunt. I agree with Obr
  11. Peter
    Yep As Rob says it would be a clever post mint mod of an earlier coin. but the wrong kings head

    I thought 3 "experts" were meant to grade and define every coin.I suggest TPG's start employing experts.

    The information is in Krause but what a slog.

    This is an excellent reference site to ID World silver coin. http://currencydebasement.com/high-silver#S

    The claims should be against NGC. I don't blame the auctioneers although they should have pulled them from the original auction after being warned by experts. The pleasure of trusting TPG's...experts NOT.

    I have had new item trays tried to be pulled out of my grasp by other dealers.However I'm 6ft and nearly 15 st so it won't happen. I've got my favourite dealers where there is a good communication.I see these first. A lot of the older dealers don't know how to work the internet.I never rip off but get everyone happy with a deal.You can only skin a sheep once but take wool every year...Take cash. Great facilities.

    CC has a 1861 5 berries EF for £14 but no pickie.
  19. Peter
    I expect you have a choice example already Peter, good news being you wont be bidding! I'll probably bid up to around £65 as it has great eye appeal for me, doubt that that will win it though! You might be suprised.However I'm aware of the US contingent buying a common coin from ColinCooke for a few £ and slabbing them. I buy raw whenever I can to pop straight into the cabinet/tray with MY description/grade.

    It has still a bit of mileage in it EF is £40 Unc £95 BU £130 according to CCGB 2012/13. It will look great in hand....being a tight fisted sod if I wanted it maybe £60+.There are better but not often encounted.
  21. Peter
    Thanks again, I might have a dabble later! Everyone else, keep off!! You are being worryingly normal tonight Peter! If you had a sneaky lottery win that Mrs P didn't need to know about, and you negotiated £4k-ish for the 2005 HC with CC, would you go for it? I know you want one!! I am on line in Barbados.Don't tell Mrs Peter. I'm at a stage when I would prefer a true UNC ED7 rather than overpriced key dates.A type collector away from 1/4d's

    It still retains traces of lustre in the legends,especially the obverse.I would suggest not "spangled" and just toned to a mainly brown finish with traces of lustre.I have no problems with it.
  23. Peter
    Never used the seller. Good feedback though. The coin looks a nice strike on the obverse with a few bag marks.The reverse looks a weaker strike on the shield especially. I can't see whether it is 4 or 5 berries but values are similar.Maybe worth a punt to about £40/50 ish.GEF+ money.
  24. Peter
    I believe it just has a reeded edge.
