    Thames Hammered River Find

    Spink..I would get more advice.
  4. Just be aware a few coins I've bought from the US the import charges have been 20% .i argued over a James 1 1/-.Got nowhere but wrote it off (£12) as I have had many delivered FOC of import costs..Win some/lose some at the moment $ v £ is a non starter.I will wait until we are $2 to the £.
  5. All hail to central heating.I don't even have a chimney at Chez Pierre . I bought a lot of BU bronze from Cubishly back in the 70's from the adverts in CM.They are holding up well. I actually love quality light chocolate brown coins with no carbon spots.
  6. These are common but pleasing coins. LCA one is a BIG avoid.15 years ago these were available at £100.Damn the internet. 1758,1787 shillings were cheap as chips. I even paid £15 to CC for a 1745 lima shilling vf (common) but doing over £100+ now.
  7. Surprised it hasn't already been looted.Close to shore in 16ft of water!!
  8. I'm sure we have several "Queen" members.

    NGC grading walkthrough

    Excellent video Dave cheers bud. We must remember that graders ARE NOT experts on ALL coins.The diversification on this forum brings the knowledge bank together.IMO I wouldn't use their services as they appear to be a "jack of all trades" and masters of nothing.

    Pickup from LCF

    The caviar will be off the menu for a while.Lovely coin.
  11. Geordie Don't give up on coins.I class you as an expert on hammered pennies. My bad I read Georgie as Geordie

    For Peter

    Dave I thought of you TOUCHE.
  13. In the past I have told buyers of their mistake...you can't do this now.Ebay even threatened to wipe my account. Let the turd know he is being watched
  14. I've reported the coin but unlikely Ebay will do anything about it.A sham.

    Hyman Montagu Book. Copper/Bronze

    Paul you will enjoy how the book has has been written.Great reading ie Mr Smiths cabinet ETC.My edition is 1893 which still has the corner guards.Monty produced a fine written book which I'm sure inspired Peck.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Rob please keep us up to date with your emails.
  18. Blame the internet. Our US buddies can cherry pick although I did the same when £1 = $2
  19. Thanks Matt This is what I loved about CM.Back in the day it was possible to buy coins from the adverts...I got some crackers.
  20. I've had my arms surgically shortened.One of my mates was nicknamed the Italian because he always went into reverse when approaching a pub.
