Very true, but they are piss poor when it comes To grading, its all about £s Paul. I remember Alan from MHCOINS had a little issue with their grading around the start of the year, he started a topic, you should be able to find it. Mark obviously never read Alans post either, i would say IMO Lockdales are serial overgraders, judging by the NEF grade inthe above coin and others from there.

Yes, i use them with extreme caution

Thenmy apoligies.....I don't see thaton the iphone, just Peter above his avtar

And here's mine, 6.2g give or take as my scales are'nt perfect, so there you go Mr Sole

Are you being derogatory? I don't see anyone called Mr Sole and can only assume that as Peter gave you an honest opinion of your coin you're calling him R.Sole, if not i'd be happy to hear your explaination of the Sole comment.

To be honest Paul, who cares, if they want to squabble over a coin that basically won't change its name to suit them, then fine, let them quartel. Its always been a godless florin in the UK, they won't invade because of it

Its godless for a reason because dei gratia was omitted.

The CNUT if genuine is way better than just fine, there's a hell if a difference in grading gap between what your friend says and the card, i'd say minimum VF ir better

proving said coins grade without a TPGs slab could be fun though. seller, ts UNC, buyer of course it is. When it Comes to grading we use our own knowhow, everyone else has their own opinion and 9 times out of 10 it will differ. There are'nt many conservative sellers out there, everone is looking for a deal or a Dollar, so ask yourself the question, if you think it's cheap, then why is it cheap? And just as an aside, MS60 is'nt a British UNC either, so decide how good you actually Need a coin

The labels are certainly out, although the coins themselves do look reasonable at EF grades and not UNCs, best offer options are avaliable

Spammer above perhaps^^^^^^^^

You missed this one then

Let me elaborate, i was reading an auction report that stated a 1904 penny in UNC near full lustre was contestef too £140 so you'd be parting with near £180 with commission and postage etc. is this the sort of money you've banked on paying for a 1904?

He he, you must pop down to the Oktoberfest Christoph

I think he's hoping for a mug punter Paul, now there's an ebay novelty

On me aye ohone Scott, can only do item numbers

Same seller, £88.88 for a disc 271831160225

From the "cheadle hoard" apparently 271831151878 From viewing the other listing deacriptions it has a tinge of a certain Mr Platt in it, or is it just my imigination?

Just out of curiosity Nordle, what are you looking at paying for the 1904 in UNC/BU?

I'll sort out better pcs when it arrives but an't see a mintmark at all

Thanks Colin & Joey.Both the single coin on the database and the one pointed out by Joey have the halved rose and castle mark. The castle is very clear, being in higher relief to the rose sticking out of the left side and is of a consistent size when compared to others with the same degree of clarity. This must suggest a single punch was used for the mark. Compare that with my halved rose mark and you will see that my coin has a very blundered mark which is typical of filled and recut dies. The castle appears to have a rose shape superimposed on the coin, i.e. the castle was punched to a shallower depth compared to the rose. This would be expected if the die had been hardened previously. Surely on a forum where the number of penny collectors is on an industrial scale there must be someone with an example. The silence is deafening.I'll add this Here also Rob
