    Hello

    Welcome Russ Let us know what your main interests are. Peter
  2. I can see a market for a platinum sticker. please note we would not sticker any CGS100 grades. I would call my operation 'WITH WINGS' Unbelievable.
  3. They are the same dies surely. Reverse both have trident prongs to space Obverse both have the weak topping to the O in one penny.
  4. Dave Run through our thread we had.I still couldn't be sure. BTW the Coincraft book arrived yesterday. Brilliant,I have several 17th,18th and 19th century Irish coppers IOM 19C Irish hammered. I will be more confident on Scottish hammered now. I will be burning the midnight oil tonight. I noticed DNW had some Scottish hammered.
  5. I did see a raw 1865 1/4d in a LC auction .Beautiful lustred coin with an unfortunate nasty edge bump. It ended up in a CGS slab and the bump was covered up. Like Dave I would only get a Gothic florin or a Northumberland shilling graded as insurance. The replicas of these are brilliant.We have had threads and debates on these on this forum. Who are the three graders? I presume 3 dealers.I ask this because some dealers I would never buy from.
  6. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311037775909?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I've just ordered this
  7. Thanks Gents for info on Tripods Paulus yours is on offer in Jessops at £3.99 but isn't suitable for a DSLR.
  8. I would but usually the weekends are fully booked.We would only use it whilst on holiday.
  9. Maybe try looking for a table top tripod, John. Mine cost me abut £12. Declan Could you point me in the way of your table top tripod.? Will it take a DSLR or compact only.I have both with macro.? Thanx Peter

    Generosity

    If you don't know your subject....don't buy it. Books and internet is there as well as as this forum. Common sense should prevail.My pockets are not deep enough to buy crap.

    Generosity

    I will put my 40 years of collecting against any of the TPG grading companies.If you don't know your subject I think you are in the wrong game. Some muppet will charge me £30 for I know what I have is gauling. Look at some of the grading from the dealers on this site.Enough said. TPG's are a waste of air.FFS i didn't need to get my wife graded before I married her....although she was Aunc but a BU is probably a bit Ugggg

    Generosity

    ? No way but each to their own. I have a safe and I don't need some mug to tell me what I have. The graders probably have less experience in my field of buying.

    1902 Crown - Grade & Value?

    Worth bullion.Not a collectors piece.
  17. Lucky it wasn't a teenage boy.
  18. That coin is a credit to your collecting eye. It really can't get better and a keeper. (I still haven't located a few bits of foreign silver for you)
  19. Peter

    Getting back into collecting

    Try a bit of verdicare or 100% accetone with a cotton bud. John is well respected. Enjoy the coin it looks great.

  23. Bloody hell Rob. That is = to one of Dave's dinner plates
  24. US MS63 CGS 65 UK Aunc It is blown up to saucer size so I bet it looks great in hand.
