    Buying online

    I bet probate throws up a fair bit.When we all meet the reaper who hasn't got their collections recorded.I bet there are many collections which get in the hands of the house clearance mob.

    A good read with a nice cuppa tie.

    Thames Hammered River Find

    Good on you Danelaw.Has it been recorded? This might shake a couple more out with a bit in Coin news.
  4. Peter

    any ideas?

    I'm glad Paulus has put you straight.1887 was a Jubilee year hence many hi grade silver coins exist (stashed).The coin hasn't seen much (if any circulation) but has many knocks.Anything up to £20 would be OK (ish).
  5. Peter

    any ideas?

    Less than F this one although a key date.Plenty about like this for a couple of £. The trouble with this one is that it was mentioned as a key date in the 60's hence thousands were stashed away.

    An unbeaten up F from me. Welcome Chapps
  8. Nons....Looking back how this thread started I can't see how you've upped your game!!!! Lovely Bronze Sovereign
  9. Great buy ....nicer than the one I was looking at.
  10. Yes... if from Trowbridge? If so a good seller. It wasn't a MUST upgrade for me.

    CGS "membership" Fee

    What is to guarantee your £499 doesn't disappear into the ether. LCA will surely suffer because of this farce.

    COIN MONTHLIES AVAILABLE

    I've looked and the majority seem to be before(not CM and late 70's early 80's) I've got one more location to check.I will let you know.(They need sorting anyway). Coin News ought to republish a lot of the articles but I suppose that is too simple and not modern tat.
  15. Isn't it tricky to ID berries on 1/4d's less than EF?

    My first batch of coins to CGS

    Coins value.......Made up value? Price paid? Retail value (pricing book)? Price a dealer will give you? Average auction price plus juice? There are too many variables. Is this the death of UK TPG's?
  17. GCSE grade B....up there but not the Dog Bo*****'s

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    There are the clever fraudsters who still get found out,the shillers who fail to cover their tracks,idiots who need a slap. A few years back a so called decent ebay dealer supplying high quality coins went AWOL with £000,000's of buyers money. The more rotten fruit that can be found within the coin community and outed the better.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    The Ebay seller is obviously not the full shilling. That is no defence regardless of any circumstance.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    This is so sad it is actually quite funny. Paid £75 plus juice for the coin described/graded fairly as EF... Not a bad purchase (CCGB value £90). There are faults with the coin so not truly for our 1d connoisseurs amongst us. Then to overgrade,give it spin with an awful grasp of English,ask £1000 on Ebay and we have a nomination for shyster of the year. Can we all offer sub £75 ? Well spotted Dave,great to see you back.

    Not cheap pennies but quality.

    Plasticking the coin costing more than the coins worth.The whole concept I find rickiedoodilus.
  25. Peter

    Is this a good buy?

    Anyone with 2,000 coins has obviously been through them. His name wasn't Scott perchance.
