An 1895 Shilling, Large rose on the REV is R3 Rated by Raynor, can anyone explain why? I thought this would be a common coin, yet a 1708E* Shilling is only rated R2 After reading again, it's the 1896 Small Rose type.........Stand easy men.....

My 1940 Single line

I guess that would depend on the comparative rarity of the one 1940 against the other! I think the modern micro-collector is a growing animal, and books like David's can only fuel the fire! For example, if you HAD one, and I didn't...well, you could still keep it anyways! It would only command a premium from someone who knew what they had, and advertised it as such. I've found a few but it took a while to get one in the condition I've pictured above. It's not for sale unless I find a better example 1863 open 3 Penny (described as such) offered on ebay, will it command a premium being that there is 5-7 known? Against a 1944 penny with a nats hair width in date from another 1944 regular penny, bets anyone?

I doubt it, mine was rather more expensive and clear date only

It's all about being a completist. As soon as a variety is found, everyone has a gap in their collection to be filled. As Peck says, they're not that rare (VR Court estimates 6:1 in favour of the more common variety) so can be picked up by the eagle-eyed at a very reasonable price. There's always a good feeling from paying standard money for a rarer variety. In that case i have an 1863 open 3 variety for sale 5-7 known

I'm not sure what sort of of Premiums People might think it would gain with a few microns wider in width, but for me its not worthy of anything other than a 1944 prices penny. I would'nt lose sleep at night if i did'nt have one in my collection, sorry, but each to their own i suppose. A missing colon maybe, but not a few microns in a date width on a 1944 penny.

Not sure it would command any premium though.

Horrible, definately seen oil somewhere along the line

It was supposed to be a Petition crown Peck

Hmmmm taken Down by the seller or eBay?

Fools and their Money are soon parted

You are correct about the word "hen" Debbie hen

People write shite like that Derek so they can try and sell it for impressive amounts and obviously make a profit. What i don't understand is why People buy from him at all

Doubtful.......do you have a couple of item numbers that is concerning you or picrures?

The fremch Arms shield also give it away, they are sitting into the shield

You should look up some of Goetze propaganda medals lol, some very weird looking stuff

I think it's supposed to represent a Guinea of the year, but for me the OBV is wrong, Annes nose and mouth certaintly look wrong. A pointed nose and a smiling mouth certainly don't look correct. Is it silver or Gold colour, what is the weight and diameter?

Gimme yir phone number Peter, then let me know when you've drunk the Brandy bottle dry and i'll give you a call so we can understand each other

I See you still have a lot to learn Too bl00dy right - don't get on the wrong side of Dave! Lol, i think a majority of us are fiesty buggers when talking about our passion of coins Mr P, all in good fun though It gets heated in here sometimes though eh lol

You should ask the seller if it has been cleaned at all, just so we can laugh at the response! He has 'downgraded' it to the totally ambiguous 'High Grade' now, we are getting there! Not really, its still shite

Your sixpence is still a nice coin Paul, it would take a true stunner to Kick that out of your collection, in fact, i would'nt even bother looking for a replacement for it.

I See you still have a lot to learn

A guide won't show you a perfect coin, ist will however give you a price guide for said perfect coin. Its what you attribute it as that will give the Price. As a buyer, its always lower, as a seller, its always higher

Some people are blatantly stupid when they buy from that muppet. He consistantly overgrades even when the coin is f****d. Him and Mr Platt are old buddies. UNC my arse.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. Has he changed the listing since he originally put it up on e-bay? I would probably have given it a straight VF but other than that, I'm struggling. He's changed the listing Derek, he was trying to sell as the rarer A6 type and had it up at £500
