One of my pet hates are so called "premium eBay seller" who try to rip people off. This one is koscoins claiming that his 1687/6 James II shilling is actually with M over G in MAG. The reverse error is a pretty noticeable error as i've had one of these a few years back, the funny thing is, when he bought it from Londoncoins there was no mention of the REV legend error although they have sold a couple and know of the error. So just another eBay seller trying to make a few more bucks instead of just selling the coin as he bought it.......The next post is the actual coin that's for sale on eBay and the Londoncoins sale coin......

VF isn't so pricey, it's finding a VF, most are around GF it's when it goes above that.......The linked coin sold for £700 in 2013 graded as GVF http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=143&l=1517&f=o&s=l

The florin is Proof Stuntman.....

Ok, boredom over

Back to Englsih

Not much of the Scottish silver here, the thread name might be biased on ENGLISH silver though

Try photobucket Alan Although, not all 1911 Florins are toned, but yours is nice

These are the people who graded for CGS, now known as LCGS, strange innit Its probably 1 of the reasons they took 3 months to grade a coin

Results are up

Agreed again, toning is Part of the ageing process of these sets, if you look for The 1911 silver proof sets you'll see that a majority of these Sets have a heavy Blue tone, obviously the die of the velvet is reacting to The silver. I'd be more worried if they didn't have some form of tone to them......

A friend of mine buys the Britannias and recently paid £170 for an PF70 cameo, so there is a market out there for such things...........And yes i have pleaded with him about buying these types, but again, it's his money to spend how he wishes, same as everyone else, each to their own

CGS had a table of their grades and their equivalents on the LCs website, i think it's since been taken down, but if you hit the link below you"ll see the American grades and the British equivalent along with the others from other various European countries http://www.pcgseurope.com/grading/comparison?l=en

Chinese Panda coins are quite popular, Gold or Silver, maybe not in the UK, but certainly around other parts of the world

It was graded at AU58 or British EF. MS grades start at 60 up to 70

Oh dear, it's a single man trial.............You've already lost.......Serma Cetin awaits (the Spanish Inquisition type chamber) awaits.......Hello...Hello.....is anyone there at CGS......HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you head to Italy, the Ilumanati roam around that area, there's a secret handshake you have to give at the Vatican, after that you have several trials which include driving to within 1 mile of area 51, if you survive this please get back to us

I remember you asked me about my Freeman 1*+A halfpenny (finest known) according to CGS but you never replied

You could save £400 if you just want to view graded coin, an ABSOLUTE bargain if you just want to see them for 1 year. I'm tempted personally

Really?

No coin would ever be graded more than 99
