  1. I did get a fine silver issue shilling and a Mildenham ? shilling from the seller. I really do prefer to see the coins in hand. My fine silver shilling had graffiti but was OK ...couldn't send it back.
  2. I bought a Bury 1d which went straight back but a better one was sent at the same money. The 1d was the early poor condition type of Edward 1....but this was the poorest of poor. Anything nice seems well over priced.
  3. There are threads on here and on Community.com This and the 1763 shilling I can live without.
  4. I bought a shite Bury penny off the seller....never again but it was up with Saltford. I also got my Anne farthing but it is not a saved seller. KB coins is another. I do like to pay EF prices for A/unc+ coins but these I keep these to myself. One US seller I search every day is my source for 1/4d's and 1/2d's What ever source he has is fine by me.
  5. I bought an Anne because I had to. I have avoided proofs and tin to a certain extent but still pursue varieties.It is a lifelong pursuit. LOVE IT.
  6. I thought that was the case. I stumbled upon Pegasus actions this way.
  7. Dave Shouldn't
  8. I'm not rising to that copper.
  9. On the money. Mate of mine wanted to send a CGS 82 graded coin to NGC hoping to get a MS 65. Turns out there was an edgeknock that was well concealed by the inner capsule. Now he's considering sending it back to CGS for an explanation. Another one. This has been noted before. It MUST go back.
  10. Glad to see you had to edit your reply Rob.
  11. Oh, dear! That old pewter threepence raises its ugly head, yet again! I've reported it to the editor/administrator
  12. The 1935 is a looker for a rocking horse.
  13. I received a copy of the Phoenix yesterday,front page an advert Royal mint price £30 our price £14.95 Now this is for a circulated George V1 pre 47 6d and a post 1920 George V 6d. So RM charge £30.00 Pheonix £14.95 Value £1.00 This surely is a joke.
  14. It my eyes However CCGB2015 prices the 1823 identical to the rarer 1825.So my comments/notes apply I prefer CCGB's pricing over Spink. Chris is right on the pace in my eyes. Another good source is London coins completed auction prices.You can also compare the pictures.
  15. i'm no expert but it is the rarer of the 2 1825's. I would suggest VF CCGB 2015 values this at £2.5k. Note I would need to examine it in hand because F = £1.2k and EF = £4.5k so it will be between these figures and grade. Nice coin and rare.
  16. Garret My mum still lives by the cheque. She has a cash point card but I have to escort her and count out the money. I do direct debits/paypal/credit&debit cars.She isn't interested.
  17. Trouble is if I've had a couple of sherbets and search Youtube. I end up with a few CD's playing with the headphones on and it is getting light.
  18. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. I was thinking along the lines of a half empty pot of swarfega. Why slab coins worth less than 50p? CGS recently took a slap from us on the GV 2/6. Can't they see they are harming themselves by charging £200 to slab 8 coins worth less than a £10 total.
  19. This made me feel a lot better after the bad press this week for footie.http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/20/celtic-fan-jay-beatty-wins-scottish-premier-league-goal-of-month-award-with-97-of-the-votes-cast-5071549/
  20. Nice well centered example.
  21. Seems he trying all avenues. Coin fair dealers are also at risk. Ebay will have all details on this scumbag which needs handing over to the police.
  22. Has anyone contacted ebay about this fraud? They can surely ban his IP address.
  23. So the Springer, sprung .....the clue's in the name.... He knew what he had done.Tail between his legs he sloped off to his bed. Just couldn't resist it. For my birthday meal last year my daughters cooked me a beef roast....but failed to mention one of our cats decided he was going to have a bite at it 1st.
  24. Looks a good gig with an appreciating audience. On a Sunday evening we used to go to a local pub. The venue was called The Young Turks Jazz club. Various instruments were available should you want to join in. Rounded off the evening nicely. Was the song the coin collector the one that was written about Mike Gouby?
