    Tgp - Good And The Bad

    Herein lies the problem Rob. the coin does'nt belong to PCGS and instead some idiot buyer who does'nt have a damn clue . Or scenario. Number 2 that the coin was only used as an example and the wax was actually photoshopped out. I hope it was the latter

    Stranger Than Strange

    That, for some reason got me thinking about some of the weird American state and City laws and so googled them. This one is a beauty, in the state of Iowa in a town called Fort Madison The fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire. This is probably to make sure the fire has took hold properly and the Risk of Death is imminent lol. I heard of one along the Lines of that its legal in a certain state to have Sex with a cow, now that is deep shit lol. Bob (rlc) surely you know of a couple in Indiana Lol, i doubt i'd ever move to Florida then, apparently this is a law Oral sex is illegal. (So is shooting people)

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I think what Stuart is talking about is the 56 bids and £112 price Tag for a £30 coin. A clear example of shill bidding
  6. Found the after result, just the REV for now
  7. Ok, i've managed to find the picture of the coin i had before i dipped it, can't find the after reult yet, i'll keep digging
  8. I also left a post on your same Topic? about Picture size/Quality and how to upload using an Image Hosting site. You might want to join photobucket.com where you can upload hi-res Pictures to. Also sorry to hear about your parents. I lost my mother when i was just 2 unfortunately. Below is an example of an image i took and is hosted on photobucket

    Help With These Coins Plz?

    Upload your fullsize pics to an image Hosting site like photobucket then copy and Paste the Image url into your post. If your Image suffers from bluriness or pixalation after cropping then it means you've taken the picture in a small resolution, if you have an 8 million Mega Pixel camera you should try to use at least 3-5 million megapixel when taking pictures, this gives about a 1meg picture and when cropped still leaves 500-700kb picture.
  10. I,see from your profile that you inherited coins from your dad. Maybe you can tell us the dates and denominations. You also play the s@x? Good for you, i love my bagpipes blown too
  11. Without pictures to determine grade you have no chance of really knowing as grade is important to collectors. The coins that are difficult to see as you say will be no more than bullion value if silver
  12. Well after thinking it over i'm going to sell this set on and put the funds towards another proof set, hopefully something like an 1889 or 1902, these will obviously hold their value much better, i really only bought this as it was cheap as chips.

    Ok, seems you are correct Peck and i was ripped. Although, Special delivery only insures up to £500, so if you're sending anything of higher value than that then you'll have to go elsewhere. Here is the regulations from the PO Page If you need to send valuables, money or jewellery, you should use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed™ as this will enable you to claim compensation in the unlikely event of loss or damage. Valuables sent using any other service are not eligible for compensation. Money should be packaged securely and should not be visible from the outside. Do not indicate anywhere on the packaging that money is enclosed. Coins should never be sent in envelopes - our automated sorting machinery may damage envelopes containing coins, which can lead to delay in delivery and increase the likelihood of the contents being lost. The Royal Mail definition of money includes: • coins & Bank notes of any currency which are legal tender at the time of posting; • postal orders, cheques and dividend warrants uncrossed and payable to bearer; • unused postage and revenue stamps and National Insurance stamps; Exchequer bills, bills of exchange, promissory notes and credit notes; Bonds, bond coupons and any other investment certificates; and • coupons, vouchers, tokens, cards, stamps and other documents which can be exchanged in whole or in part for money, goods or services. The Royal Mail definition of jewellery includes: • any precious metal that has been manufactured in such a way as to add value to the raw material, including coins used for ornament; • diamonds and precious stones; • watches - the cases of which are made wholly or mainly of precious metal; • similar articles with an intrinsic value other than the value of the workmanship.
  16. There's also very few prices avaliable. I think I saw 1 price for a 1902 Crown at £450? Did'nt see anymore
  17. Was just looking through your website Mr Peddie, can i just point you towards the CGS table as you have a CGS 78 on your website and have said its ABU, but that grading term does'nt start until at least a CGS 85 grade 100 FDC MS70 99 FDC MS70 98 FDC MS70 97 FDC MS70 96 FDC M69 95 FDC MS 68 -69 94 AFDC MS68 93 AFDC MS 67 -68 92 AFDC MS67 91 AFDC MS66 -67 90 NFDC MS 66 88 BU -NFDC MS65 -66 85 Choice UNC - BU MS 65 82 Choice UNC MS 64 -65 80 Choice UNC MS 64 78 UNC MS 63 -64 75 UNC or near so MS 62 - 63 70 AU MS60 -61 65 GEF MS60 -61 60 EF AU58 - MS60 55 NEF AU55 50 GVF AU55 45 GVF AU 53 40 VF AU 50 35 NVF EF 45 30 GF EF 40 25 GF F35 20 F F30 15 NF 10 VG 8 VG 5 GOOD 4 FAIR 3 FAIR 2 FAIR 1 FAIR
  18. No it was some other tgread Peck but i really can't remember which but i think it was something to do with cleaning coins and was around a year ago

    It does apply Peck. I had a few Coins go AWOL and all i got back was Stamps in return. You shoukd read up on the regulations as i don't think jewellery is currency either.

    And here's the large BUT. If he makes a claim and says it was Coins inside he'll not get a penny back as the PO states that Coins and jewellery should not be sent via post.

    Had no one told him that Paris has an office? Who sends a Fistful of coins uninsured though?
