Peck is the grammar Nazi of the predecimal forum

You may have misunderstood, i said i'd be happy to send it to CGS and think i'd get a CGS 55 back, i never said i would though as i don't do slabs

Ok the concensus seems to be GVF. So the story behind this coin is that it was part of the middridge hoard found in 1974 and sold through Glendinings in Dec 1977 lot 806 in which 7 coins were in this lot. 275 coins were found in the hoard and 44 were in similar grade as this one, the Rest were graded as Fine or less. This was graded as VF in 1977 which in my mind seems low and hence the reason i asked opinions, yet Spink sold it last year Sept 24-25th lot 271 and was graded again as VF which hammered at £200 with the same provenance, so i'm just wondering if Spink has obviously just took the grade from Glens and Applied it to their listing, as we can see, 37 years ago they were fairly strict with a grade, i'd even happigste send this to CGS and think i'd get a 55 grade back IMO

Oh, well, you might find this amusing then!lf.jpgLol, MS63???? I have 1 or 2 hammered that I also think would be graded similar by both NGC and PCGS

Gary, look on page one of the thread. We have Scottish pounds, £10 etc

Its all in banter Bob. We all know that America don't want Scotland to leave the Union which in turn means we'll lose the vote by a Slim majority Have you by any chance read or heard of the book called "beware of the pale horse"? Written by a Former CIA Agent ? just as a side thought, i'll be in Turkey next weekend for 2 weeks sunning my ripped (or rippled, however you look at it) Body and growing a beard in those 2 weeks i'll have missed 3 very important dates, 6th, 17th and 18th of September

Sorry but there's always Hidden meanings, big Dave said "let the Scots decide" then sends in Alistair Darling as his champion. Then lets look at Afghanistan, who was it that paid the Taliban to fight the Russians in the 80s.? Then there's Iraq and the smoking gun plot (twice) but the American Government had to create a plot for the 2nd invasion, amd if you actually think that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK then you are dillusional. Governments always CREATE a plot in order to get their Dirty work done, the Arab spring bring's another to mind, its an endless list

Its dodgy

I know you ladies will be interested to read that an Independent Scotland can use the pound, contrary to what all the scaremongers/liars in Westminster keep telling us all, thus we'll be paying our share of your debt http://www.thecourier.co.uk/opinion/columnists/jennifer-dempsie/battle-to-save-the-union-was-based-on-false-claim-1.546581

33 if you count the 2 beauties against Enggggerrrrrland

I never understood why Fergie did'nt buy defenders or a couple of midfielders, everyone knew the Defence was poor and as soon as Scholes retired the midfield just had no class. Ok so no Di Maria has arrived amd Herrera, but he still needs 3 quality midfielders in my opinion and i hope 1 of the, is Vidal although i think that is a non starter. There's trouble at mill, i also said to a few friends that LVG was not the man for the job, they did'nt like his tactics here in Munich which was too defensive, lets see what happens next, Daley Blind from Ajax for 20 million perhaps. Moyes must be smiling right now, not at the downfall, but his integrity as a mamager was slated, but as we're now seeing, the team was utter pish

Agreed

Lot 675 is the one you'll be looking for

Peck you may have missed a few things here. 1 we don't want trident anyway. 2, they're closing another shipyard on the Clyde, and 3 Scotland does Have its own Pound Scotland also has its own foodbanks amd considering that Scotland should look like Dubai and not beruit i find it disgusting in the 21st Century that people have to beg to eat in the Western World I don't see Bank Of England on this Note and as English Shops more often than not refuse too take Scottish notes not having am English pound is really nothing new

I think ozjohn might be referring to the Australian PM, oh wait, he's actually English and also Stück his nose in where it was'nt wanted or needed with his little remarks. I've never understood other Nations commenting on something that has clearly nothing to do with them. As Salmond who also told Obama, if you think English rule is so bloody awesome, Disolve your Parliment and hand Control back to Westminster

Do Tell John from Oz

3 names for those who laugh. David Cameron,Ian Duncan Smith and Alistair Darling. All liars, Salmomd is a decent politician, unlike the numpties i've just mentioned.

Let me know how you get on at LC and will take it from there. Edit: you do realise lot 677 is a 1953 set and not 1950 that you wanted

Yup i have

70 x £16 adds up to a very nice coin, £1120 worth

I'm with Peck on this one regarding being rubbed/dusted with a cloth. The lines don't seem harsh enough for cleaning IMO, but the light and dark Patches at 3 and 9 oclock on the REV is a strange one. Grade, i'd be happy to say EF maybe a smidge more

Yes, well overgrader and cleaner of coins, one of ebays finest although even his coin prices have taken a massive dip, he used to have many friends help his auctions along in a very big way, but i feel some satisfaction now due to even his prices being crap. Justification, word of mouth or just the fact ebay has taken a huge dip in the coin sales area, who knows but even he's struggling now to get top end money. His latest (a reportedly UNC florin) description quoted Spink at £750 and he got just over £200, maybe buyers are also getting better at grading

I may have 2 sets. I'll check in the morning amd get back to you.
