So, i was just over at NGC, next on-site grading will be sometime in May (not official as yet) but that's the info i got

An interesting one

Surely this should have been a cleaned details grade

I would personally ensure that they will be treated with due care Stewie, what size of drill bit would you like? 😁

If anyone is looking to get their coins graded then let me know, i can possibly help out as NGC are doing on-site grading at their Munich office and it's only an ubahn ride for me. They start grading next week 18th Feb and finish on the 26th Feb when i will go and pick up my submission that day, i think are doing this every 2-3 months, so if i can help anyone out then just let me know. Of course its also a matter of trust, but i've been on here long enough for most regulars to know me, i've also met and spoke with Rob if you need some sort of confirmation. The offer is there...

Would love to hear your defence of this MS64 NGC graded coin LOL

Unfortunately not mine, popped up on a Sov group i'm in, but thought i'd share so you can keep your eyes peeled, but its clear as day....

Wow, look at East of Scotland in that map.......Quite a few Universities in Dundee itself, then St Andrews just across the water.....

Not if you buy their new 2oz Brit, 87% over spot 😉

Shhhhhhhh, don't tell everyone 😶

A new 2oz Britannia was released yesterday, really not into the design nor the £3750 asking price, but a 100 mintage

You'll get 100 to the pound

Found this on the NGC website if you ever think about submitting coins, or maybe for anyone that uses ebay for buying/selling etc, couple of insurance companies to look out for Shipments to non-US addresses are not insured.

I completely agree Rob, not sure what the difference is though between sending yourself or taking a coin to an NGC office, the price is surely the same.....Although, i don't know if it is or not, but can't see how it would increase. On ebay, you send a coin and it's your liability until it arrives into the buyers hand, the same scenario should theoretically apply here because you are paying for the return shipping

Bob Lazar was the first man to out what was happening there, he then went into the shadows until this year when someone made a new documentary on what Lazar has been up to since. Here you can rent the documentary if you have an apple account and into this sort of thing https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/bob-lazar-area-51-flying-saucers/id1441638753

As i can't get iplayer i checked youtube

So the coin has been dropped off now, 26th Feb planned pick up again. Time to sit back and relax.

Lol.......looks like it, but does show the toning better

Hopefully a bigger picture

Lovely coin. It should be a keeper

I was in the GVF or AU55 area opinion, the lustre does extend all over the coin. Williams hair for me is the weakness of the coin, the attached i would say is a weak strike considering the corresponding side is also weak but Mry's hair is sharply struck and little wear on Williams drapery

With it being so soon after christmas, it could have been the reason, DNW 20th-21st Feb catalogue is now live, for all the penny boys, i'm sure i saw an 1897 P.ENNY in there

China fakes are rife
