Thanks Richard. -
Penny Acquisition of the week
1949threepence replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Really pleased with the 1870 penny I just bought off e bay as an upgrade to my current one. An UNC choice example, with residual lustre and nice toning. The original listing is here and these are my photos:- -
Contacting Paypal - a frustrating experience
1949threepence replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think that's probably correct, Bob. However, having to negotiate through extensive and to a large extent, needless array of automated responses, doesn't improve the user experience. -

It's like dealing with morons (literally, in the medical sense of the term). Every organisational query you make results in annoyance and delay, and equipment or staff who seem completely unable to grasp what you are saying to them, and replying with meaningless rubbish. -
LCA September
1949threepence replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
If I'd known in advance it was going to go for considerably less than five figures I'd have gone for it myself. Although with another bidder in the equation it might have pushed the bid to beyond my limit. I suppose Cardiff's logic is that the more he possesses, the more the price each individual piece still remaining will command, as the rarity is increased considerably with each one removed from potential future sale. -

Went for £5,500, Bob. Perhaps a little less than I expected. -
I would have said EF/NEF, personally. Nice, issue free coin.

more FAKES
1949threepence replied to numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Indeed. The so called souvenir replica pennies, which are currently flooding e bay, are very far from convincing. Even the ones which have been deliberately made to look circulated. -
Keeping coins long term in Royal Mint sealed bags
1949threepence replied to Lotad's topic in Decimal Coins
Obviously, it's not ideal. But in a sealed bag they should at least be free from harmful outside agents. But they are all packed together, which might lead to friction problems. Has anyone ever opened a sealed bag from decades ago, and noted the condition of the coins inside? -
Agreed. It looks as though it's been in some machinery, or maybe crushed in something akin to a vice.

Victorian die number question
1949threepence replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As Rob says, both are possible. In successive years, I'd say the same die was more probable than not. But if the same die No was used 10 years apart, it's unlikely to be the same actual die. -
Indeed. It's actually a nice coin in itself.

Not for anyone with a reasonable level of experience, such as Lukasz. He would be able to see in an instant, just as we can, that it wasn't a mule.

No, he'd be better going via a proper auction site. Welcome back, Dave.

The grade description definitely is.

Some theoretical auction advice needed
1949threepence posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The following is some information on bidding increments from dnw's website:- Would I be correct in assuming that if a given coin had estimates of say £300 - £400, but I bid (for example) £2000, prior to auction, then on the day there were no other bids, I would get the coin for the first increment down from £2k - ie: £1900? Thanks in advance. -

Thanks for all the helpful advice gents. Much appreciated. -

You'd think they would do by now. Not to mention live auctions on the internet. -

Always do, Jon. The live auctions are great to listen to. -

1949threepence replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
But if that's the case, then if the last live internet or room bidder bids £1500, then it will come to "fair warning" at what? Won't the £1500 bidder think they are the winner? -

Sorry Jon, didn't see your post initially. No you got my point. It was just I'm honestly unsure. -

1949threepence replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Right, thanks Paddy. I did wonder that, but honestly wasn't sure simply by virtue of the fact that if an exceptionally high bid was made pre auction, then the auctioneer on the day will obviously say something like "£2000 I'm bid", which could unfairly put off other potential bidders who might otherwise have gone for intermediate amounts.
