Nowhere near FDC, EF at best

I'm going to make a guess on the Londons Wyon penny and say £4300 hammer, pitch your guesses

If you have tried to attach a bigger than 500kb file initially then reduced it but haven't left the topic and come back to it, it will still recognise the first attempt. For some strange reason you have to leave the topic and re-enter it and try uploading again

196kb image attached, must be you

Perhaps the ability to add notes on a coin, so if there's provenance you'll be able to include this also

Some people also like to add different prices from various up to date publications which then would give them an average price for grade, so being able to add columns for various books such as spink, CCGB and coin year book, they'll all have different prices for the same grade, being able to develop the internal mechanics of the software should be a must have IMO, but then again, i use a MacBook lol

Definitely not a penny, the flan is 18.5mm in dia without any signs of milling, its also a little heavier than a farthing which would give credence of it being struck on the halfpenny flan

So this just arrived, i'll pop a couple of pictures up later. The weight i have is 3g although admittedly my scales aren't perfect, the dia is 18.5mm roughly measured with digi verniers, there doesn't seem to be any milling on the rim and the colour of that is the same as the rest of the coin...Pics will follow.....

If you look at the Spink picture, the scratches are visible on the coin which wasn't slabbed at the time

So a relevant question whilst on the subject of conservation, what is the actual difference when a TPG does this and someone at home perhaps going through a similar process? If a TPG picks up on this it gets a body bagged label stating "hairlines cleaned" why are TPGs allowed to do this and it's ok, yet John Doe gets a cleaned label. The other gripe i have is to do with the Matt proofs wiped at the mint, i got a PF62 grade for hairlines and IMO it was better than a lot i've seen in that grade, but Catherines also has hairlines on the REV from cleaning and gets a 66 grade, so are we talking favouritism towards certain submitters?

Catherine, my opinion, for what it's worth to you is this, send it back and get bidding on the one at Londoncoins with the Wyon provenance (sorry Atlas)

Perhaps because no one here works for PCGS and we can't answer for them lol

The scratch by the helmet is also on the Spink picture, so that was there previously and I can also see the faint lines around the trident on the Spink one as well

Is the scratch by the helmet on the slab? Also (maybe over critical) although enlarging the pic on the REV, there are also some (cleaning?) scratches around the trident area

The only thing that grinds me about LCA is that their photography isn't consistent with all the coins, some are really dark, some over exposed etc, a company like LCA should be employing a photographer that has the correct setup. Look at how often people here try try and try again to get it right, LCA never seem to improve on this which is really one of the important jobs when distance selling or buying coins

I'm waving my virtual middle finger at you Peter

I just bought it Colin, when it arrives i'll be looking it over

Need some sunglasses for that one, seems far to bright, either cleaned or over exposed to cover it's problems

That's certainly one to drool over

Another "not a penny" coin, yet another halfpenny on a farthing flan

They probably won't want you to know either lol, but you could ask at your local museum, they probably do much the same thing to coin hoards

I'd assume it would be along similar lines as PCGS, i uploaded a video on the previous page on it....

I bet Hilary is shitting herself, along with the rest of the world and Mexicans and the ladies who work in the White house and and and............
