    Pennies & Halfpennies Listed on Ebay

    Thanks, I'll pass on this occasion. But even if I'd wanted to pursue, it says under "shipping" in bold red "does not ship to United Kingdom". I assume from logical deduction that anywhere but the UK is no problem. Odd.

    Stuff to Make Us Laugh

    My favourite scene from Fawlty Towers which cracks me up every time I see it:- "Don't mention the war"

    Pennies & Halfpennies Listed on Ebay

    It's extraordinary. Still can't find anything other than the 1881H. Actually, I might be interested in one of your F148's, depending on condition. Obviously though, I simply can't see it - for whatever obscure reason.

    Coin cabinet

    Although of course, it won't be Peter Nichols himself, as he's retired, at least from cabinet making. His business was taken over and is now run by a Nottinghamshire family. They do, however, look very much like the typical Nichols cabinet. I do, meanwhile, like the look of the cabinets made by Rob Davis who himself, is a coin collector.

    The McGowan Collection

    Not as far as I can remember Pete. The last delivery from the US was the 1897 O.NE penny from Bob, which came via the USPS tracking facility - which incidentally was absolutely brilliant. I thought the tracking might stop when the item left the USA, but it carried on over here until right until the Royal Mail guy knocked at the door and I signed for it - took 9 days, 4 over there and 5 over here. Steep - and that would be on top of the 20% buyer premium. So 40% over hammer price. Thanks Bob - useful info.

    The McGowan Collection

    I've never paid anything on coins from the States. They've always just been delivered straight to my door. Is it due to the way they are described on the packet and the value quoted? I have paid customs duty on two other items, both of which took weeks to arrive and had obviously been opened.

    Presumably then Bob, the coins themselves would also be currently located in Dallas awaiting the auction - or perhaps not?

    The McGowan Collection

    There you go, Ian. Comes as a PDF download, so can't link unfortunately. But if you google "Terms and Conditions of auction - Heritage Auctions" it should come up.

    The McGowan Collection

    All I can say is "wow", what a collection ! The 1860 UNC (not that far off BU) mule penny interests me greatly, but I fear I would be blown out of the water on bidding. By the way the link is here for convenience.
  11. Hiram Brown Part 2, now runs to 4 pages. The additions are mostly pre 1860 copper pennies and halfpennies.

    Still no luck this end, Bob.

    Pennies & Halfpennies Listed on Ebay

    I can't see anything other than the 1881H either. If I click "see other items" it just takes me back to the original page.

    Bugs at the moment

    Looks good Chris. I thought at first the new black and white emoticons had replaced the originals, but scrolling down, I note they are still there, so won't take the hump lol 🐫

    Silliness of the "Un-researched Purchase" Variety

    Ah, so that's the reason. Well I'm not more deserving than you. Although I'm not a legend, more a leg end

    Madness' Coin Grading Training Ground

    Yes, grading wise I'd say a/EF. Not sure on price as not my speciality. Bot someone else will know for sure.
  21. The fake news reference was only meant to be tongue in cheek. But the facts do show that there is no such Freeman type as the 10A.
  22. It's misleading Bob, misled both of us. When I first saw it on the dnw site, I genuinely thought it might be a new type, which is why I bought the up to date 2016 Freeman book, expecting to see it in there. Somebody, somewhere, has deliberately made that up. What's the modern expression? - fake news
  23. I mean, 10A would fit perfectly, but it's just not a real Freeman type. Highly regrettable that they indulge in such tactics.
