The mintage is correct for the REV proof as far as i can see This set is numbered "#7" from The Royal Mint.

You certainly like this polish seller, but the C looks normal to me

Exactly what it is, die crack running perfectly through the E

I'm sure they are on the mint website, maybe just not every single one though

I know the buyer of this one, he does some youtube videos on his purchases, watched him unwrap it and the colour was nowhere near what was pictured. He's tweaking his pictures obviously because Americans love colour and thinks it will enhance the price. I'm surprised no one has left him a neutral or negative for the pictures not being like the coin in hand.......

It certainly does appear to be a different coin. I was trying to focus on a point on the coin that could be identified as the same or not and found a rim nick by the dragons paw at around 4 o'clock which doesn't appear on the PCGS picture yet is on the sellers. Check the images

Exactly what I said Bob, there is 4 MS65 RB and 1 MS65 RD, he's saying his RD is superior, so I asked him since when did people start buying letter deaignated slabs in stead of the number, so I was asked to check the PCGS website for superiority letters and RD means 95% min red and RB 5-95% red, so in theory all 5 MS grades can be the same as there is no percentage of colour rating on the slabs.

A little misleading from this eBay seller IMO, just because it says RD on the slab doesn't make it the finest known 1912H as there is 4 others in the same grade with RB on.....

This guy is a total bellend. I also corrected him on a few things plus he was selling coins that had been bought through LCs, which he in turn bought from someone else on ebay and doubled the price he paid. After a while he became quite rude, even telling me that his "dealer friend" told him the 1862 die letter A halfpenny was only worth 1k I blocked him at that point but previously he'd been asking for help ID-ing coins. I think i added a couple of his listings in the ebay section of the forum

Plus the fact i learnt that Potosi mint was still minting cobs in 1760, didn't know that until today

Soapy will be of a smooth appearance, this doesn't come with wear, it's difficult to give an exact detail, but maybe you can take a picture of the Real i'm speaking about and upload it separately

The weights also seem to fluctuate, check here the description, this cob is only 17g http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=2409403&AucID=2312&Lot=601&Val=243138597942b7ccb983528ad9a5cdbe

Quite the Spanish theme going on, but the middle row middle and right is a 4 or 8 reales, can't quite make out the denomination, but it seems quite soapy to me which is an indicator of being fake, , by soapy i mean not very well struck, terminology for fakes, see the picture i uploaded of an 8 reales of 1760 and check against what you have, it just doesn't seems sharp

The OP coin looks more like this http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=2524491&AucID=2445&Lot=1971&Val=22f42422c5ef95820b868ae83738a4e1

That would be the strangest piece of 8 i've ever seen, 1760 would be a pillar dollar which look like the attached. The OP coin is a much earlier Spanish coin called a cob i believe

Don't have a Vigo, but have 2 1705s at MS62, Roses and Plumes and Plumes REVs

Very nice that Gary, did it come in the silver case?

I'd say the grade was about right, but ask for some better pictures as they are dark

I knew which you were talking about Matteo, the REVs are different, I have the proof in my hand as we speak, also got the half Sov proof to go with it

You can pre order from various places, they will be out 12th Dec but shop around as they are more expensive on the RM website. The 2017 proof sovereign is much nicer and the George and Dragon design was only available on the proofs

I got the griffin for 39 euros but they are higher on the mint site, also took this

Number 3 is from Atlasnumismatics, so it will be expensive

When we think of the 1951 crown we think of the festival of britain crown minted in millions, how many collectors? When we think of the penny there are many more collectors of these, just check the pages here on the subject, there's practically a new page and type opened up every other day because there's a half a bead missing and will cause a furore in the penny collecting community

Had to increase the size from 23kb, hopefully it still looks ok

I skipped past Spink this time, there wasn't a great deal in there for me, St James was much the same today, a few passed, obviously reserves were set high. I just wonder if we Brits are a little scared to jump above book prices sometimes
