    All the best

    I hope the candles aren't too difficult. Have a great day.
  2. It would make 2 pigs and a potato.Before this thread I'd never heard of it or its rarity.

    Bramah ENGLISH REGAL COPPER COINS

    Jerry,It was a must for me as a Cu man. OK Peck freeman et al have covered most of this but it is an interesting read and nice observations from nearly 100 years ago. IMO you can't get enough print. I got my copy from John (Chingford) a few years ago. I can quite happily take this to my deckchair for another peruse.(not John that is)
  4. You'll be buying slabbed coins soon and getting ROYALLY RIPPED.. 44 keep looking for raw coins. Anything you like at auctions will be most likely be bidded up by others. I reckon a few fairs where you can roll up your sleeves and get stuck in will be a good day out. There is one dealer at the Midland who I always visit early who doesn't really appreciate the coins I like. If he's bought them cheaply you can get some great deals. The coins in the lighted trays in front of the dealer will have already been picked over by other dealers before the fair started so ask for other trays to look at.....ummm take a flask of coffee and enjoy yourself. You've taken a lot of flak and well done Sir...as Pete says Hat off
  5. Gibbons play so hard on the investment side no doubt aiming at dumb and dumber. Pete are all the coins slabbed?
  6. Only you can decide on whether you like it and didn't over pay.Personally I couldn't ever want it.
  7. I agree but I have bought nice coins at the Midland from this dealer.

    CGS Collectors Facebook Group

    Get a CGS mirror Pete and have a good look Luckily my impressions of members are of Davros apart from Rob who is a big bugger who will give you a slap.
  10. Probably the wrong forum Natalie. I would suggest ebay BIN with a good description and photo. The collectors of such coins are rarer than the coins themselves.

    CGS v LCGS

    Jesus wept. They can do one. For the lads in deep get 1 membership between you all. They are prize lady front bottoms.

    CGS v LCGS

    A nice gesture would be to give 4 credits for the £99 outlay. I am trying to think how they could improve their prospects. Pete keep giving away prizes it will lessen your photography outlay. When we do meet up the coffee will be on me and you can twist my arm for a slice of cake.

    CGS v LCGS

    The choice for people collecting coins is huge. CGS was an option and I dodged this bullet. A few years back at the Midland CGS were displaying the "finest" coins and the majority of dealers I spoke to were taking the Pi55. LCGS IMO will disappear ripping off poor souls.A few on the forum are in deep but I wish they would wake up and smell the coffee. I had hoped one of the US major TPG's were the new owners but alas.
  14. That sold on provenance.
  15. I was looking at LC's previous sales and this one is up there. I have 2 examples but need to up my game on this date (and the 3 variations)

    1757 Sixpence

    I would sell my daughters for that !!!

    1757 Sixpence

    Still a very nice example InterN.
  18. Ooooh...I like that. The toning is spot on

    Key dates

    CP's list is useful as a guide to the beginner. However,once you specialize on a type or series key dates or rarities take on a new meaning. The 1D boys are all chasing a market which is well documented and every Tom,Dick (but not Harry maybe) can easily track down, hence inflating prices. I still chip away in areas that I know (price guides can be hung in your privvy). Incidentally I've just ordered an Edward 1 penny which if correctly described would/could/should be worth 2 fold. maybe more ...not that I will be selling soon.

    CGS "membership" Fee

    LCA's next auction should prove a tad interesting.
  22. I like the risk of these bad boys and have knocked a few home runs. http://goldprice.org/gold-price-uk.html But for fun only unlike the Labour twit/buffoon/wnkr/ etc

    Nice Elizabeth I Shilling

    The weakness on both sides seriously damages value and hints of a jewelry mount. IMO 200 euros is an expensive mistake.
