Here's another example of the same sellers NICE coins

Here is the Halfpenny Proof slighty touched

There is quite a ding on the OBV around 9 oclock to the right of the 2nd G in Georgivs on the Wreath Crown

Same seller has a 1919 KN penny in EF grade http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1919KN-GEORGE-V-BRONZE-PENNY-EXT-RARE-EF_W0QQitemZ330408193626QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL?hash=item4ceddcee5a

If anyone's interested, there is a 1934 Wreath Crown in UNC ending tomorrow 27/02 Price now is 4,110 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230441055935&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Yes i just noticed the spelling error, and you guessed right Peckris, it was meant to say proof. He also has a half penny in the same grade and same year

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this coin or token? Got it from a friend in Scotland last week, the scary part is the price if it turns out to be original, so i'm hoping someone could help with the originality of the coin, does ayone know what the weight should be of this and any help with its identification would be appreciated.

Ooooops, uploaded the same OBV, here's the REV

Here's a picture of an almost proog penny, slightly touched, the cost for this is €350, makes the 220 pound look silly.

Welcome to the forum, gotta say, its a cracking name, and on the subject of shillings i just purchased today an 1854 VF+ :-)

I would suggest any coin in gold would have Bullion Value or the weight in gold as its value, also if you can post a picture it helps other members with its identification and can also help grade it for you.

Nothing in the book for prices, was this coin circulated or was it a model as it says and never made? Scarce or not?

Loving the little German touch on the Volvo lol

Is a coin that has a dark tone worth any less than a coin say in the same grade but still has no tone or some slight toning? Just curious

I thought i'd better post this in the relevant place. It started in the (Lots of British coin related discussions, coin aquisition of the week) I posted a picture of the new coin i got yesterday, George III 1818 Halfcrown, after looking at it this morning the die axis did not match and posted in the same topic this morning that it was a fake, bought from ebay. I think it was Gary D who then said "just because the die axis doesn't match doesn't mean it's fake, it could be a rare variety" I would love to think that it is a rare type, but my luck doesn't stretch that far, so could any of you enlighten me, are there any wrong die axis types, the head and the crown are at opposite ends on this one, hence my thought it being a fake. The obv and rev pixs are in the post stated above

I asked because i just bought an AUNC 1817 Halfcrown and its quite dark, here's the pix, until it arrives.

Oops, you shouldn't have said anything, Peter. Now you've got competition!! (Don't you just love the "shotgun pellet holes??") Do the Americans have different book prices to us, what a price!!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150410957577

...unless you've already invested in cabinets and albums! (That's what I meant by 'unstorable') Ok, so how much does slabbing cost exactly?

Ha! But it's a smaller market surely? There are such as myself who wouldn't touch them with a bargepole (because 1. I don't want my coins to be in unstorable slabs and 2. I won't pay more just because it's in a slab .. that I don't want!). So you might well get more when you sell on, when you actually find a buyer. I'm with you on the slabs Perckis, i am just curious if you crack one open would it lose value or credibility, has anyone done it?

Just wondering what grade you'd say this was and what price you'd pay, it has a scratch on the reverse

You said above you would START at €300? That implies you were prepared to go higher? For what it's worth, I think it is an attractive coin, so it's really up to you how much you want it. But you may wish to assure yourself it is 20/19 before shelling out your hard-earned. €300 is about £250, which doesn't seem excessive, especially if it turns out to be the rare variety. As for haggling, we can't tell you how to do that. The relationship is between seller and buyer, which is you and he. Well i emailed him and asked him how much he was prepared to come down to firstly, and he replied €360, i have since replied using some of the comments from this thread and said i'd be prepared to go to€300 and that i have bought from him before at a premium. He is a coin dealer so i'm sure he knows it is a 20/19, although its not as visible as some, so we shall see what tomorrow brings. A €100 rebate would be good though :-)

Ok, emailed the dealer and he said he'd take €360, i don't really want to pay more than €300 for it, any suggestions to try and work him down a bit without disrespecting the coin to much lol?

You can certainly see it in the 2nd image, the first image i couldn't see it at all.

I use my Olympus camera with marco and always in daylight, a more natural picture, some of my coins are dotted around the site from my efforts with the Olympus

I can upload some of mine if you like Mark - some of the fields won't mean much to you as they refer to other bits of the database but if you're interested I can talk you through it. Yes please, I'd love to see them. Mark, try as I might, and ZIP as I might, I can't anything useful down to the 150k upload limit. Can I email it to you? cheers Declan I have just downloaded a coin manager file from the t'internet, gonna give it a whirl and see how it goes
