Maybe ignorant, but what does CNGAF mean?

Funnily enough, those without humour cannot stomach my sarcasm, hey ho I like to call it dry humour these days instead of sarcasm

beeeeetch, sarcastic as ever

Thanks old bean, glad to see you back on site and sharing your experience. Hope all is well after everything..... Off to watch coldplay at the Munich Olympia station and it's pissing down, been sunny for the last few days, sods law

I think @Nordle11 started it somewhere

It won't be described as proof if its been polished (which it has been) now called impaired and UNC or less all due to the polishing, i'm guessing the person who had it didn't realise it was supposed to be matte

You should look for good dealers on there and add them to your followed sellers, one above springs to mind, argentumandcoins, has a great feedback and extremely reliable. I think someone started a dealers list of those who are active on the forum and also deal in coins whether it be ebay or their own site and ebay. They may not always have what you want, but they are very reliable

I think Oswald is making his presence known and over stepping the mark at the same time. Also, possibly spam

Also real so try recent realised prices from auction houses such as London coins

FFS, robbing bar stewards!!!!!!!

A Little description of this website THE Newman Numismatic Portal (nnp.wustl.edu) is a new, powerful research tool for the numismatist. It is based at Washington University in St Louis, USA (WUSTL) and is funded by a 4-year, $US2M grant from the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society (EPNNES). The all-seeing eye is emblematic of the Newman Numismatic Portal, the goal of which is to freely share a vast online store of both printed and virtual numismatic resources. Books, periodicals, ephemera, as well as online forums and auction offerings will be captured in one location, freely available, and searchable from anywhere in the world. With unprecedented knowledge at their disposal, collectors and researchers will gain greater appreciation for numismatic science and more clearly discern fact from fiction. https://nnp.wustl.edu

Spink has always had problems with their internet bidding, i think 2 years ago the whole thing came crashing around their ears and they lost the internet bidding completely on the day, i think Rob was sitting online at the same time i was when it went tits up. They really need to get this sorted out once and for all....

Looking through realised prices i'm seeing 14,5g to 14.66g

If you think it's a bargain then he's probably picked this up for more than he's sold it for, as we now know, he pays the same price as every other mortal and then overgrades and does the other usual practise in order to make a profit, so he's either bought it himself or made a loss

Welcome home @Peckris

I think it's maybe the first gold victorian sixpence i've seen. It has H35 and 500 scratched in the OBV just to the right of the last A in VICTORIA

Who else.....

Its a part of the history of the coin, perhaps it's for a loved one, it's definately contemporary to the coin and worth holding onto just for the history and the feel of history

Ha ha Boab, i bet he's fizzing because his eBay blurb states Coin Year Book suggests £2300 in EF so am guessing he was aiming/hoping for the upper end, obviously buyers are most aware of our man Flint these days, i'm very proud, i feel like a new father, well done eBay, although he could have bought it himself I hear he does the same shite on Facebook these days..........The book states millions in EF and the likes

There is no London office, the London coin company are an agent who will accept submissions on your behalf, but i assume their prices would be higher, they actually do speak English in Paris, (not brilliantly) but i also spoke to their reps at the Munich coin fair in March without problem. I've called a few times and haven't had a problem getting things corrected such as the Label on the 1862 Die letter A halfpenny, they weren't going to change the label, just make sure the coin was what it was and alter the Pop report, i insisted they change the label to recognise the variety, which they did after my call

Cancel the card payment, they'll come running to you soon enough

I wonder if the BM bought it.........Unless someone knows differently.

The other problem i've been shouting about is the uploads, have to upload 500kb then leave the thread and rejoin in order to upload again is a pain in the ass, this has been an ongoing problem since the new site went live 2 years ago? and nothing has been done about it
