modern photography eh i took some pics of my 1924 tanner for another thread here, the pic of the reverse looked stunning, the obverse less so, i didnt post the pics becsause of the way the obverse photographed. i dont think the difference between the 2 pics was as different as the coin in this thread, true to say in the hand my coin is okay. but my tanner is gef. Its true to say that the pics are 4 times life size.......but thats true for both the reverse and the obverse pics. Peckris is right in my opinion the reverse is a good grade higher than the obverse, is this coin, despite the obverse, and what the camera may have done to it.....BU...?????

yes youre right..........a tough one to grade, a shame about the obverse.......i do like the reverse though

As Peckris points out coins in this series are often very weakly struck, to me however, going by the pic alone, the obverse looks worn, true to say maybe weakly struck and worn. As dave suggests, i dont think its a bu example.

well at the end of the day, youve flogged something you werent using, got some cash and can look forward to youre wife spending it, its whats called a lose/lose situation

depends really......in terms of coins this may be good, but if youre still trying to flog youre missus on ebay, you may need to rethink the scale....accuracy....be diplomatic, she has feelings

the reverse looks really good, if i bought the coin though on the strength of that 1 pic, i would be sending it back bu....no way.....gvf/ef for me

did coin monthly go broke??? if they did....then the copyright could be held with the receiver that handled the case.

theres way too much detail in that coin to interest a penny collector

whhooooo..................PARTY happy birthday..........twice. ski

the justification for paying a little more than a guide, at times anyhow. we all love a bargain

spinks is only a guide in terms of price , eye appeal is as important as grade to a buyer.....if Paul is happy with the coin at the price he payed.......then thats a good buy for Paul and looking at the pics, a nice addition to a collection. we may all pay a little over the guide price for a piece for different reasons, to finish a run, to upgrade or simply because of eye appeal. the bottom line for me is.......is Paul a collector or investor/. if collector....hes got himself a damn near unc tanner with a great look to it.

very interesting, had you inspected the coin closely before photographing and not seen it? or was it a case that you hadnt given the coin much attention at all. im curious to know if it was the photo that highlighted it to you. ski.

if you like it then its special to you.....i like it, i havent got a crown of that year, i would love to have that coin in my collection. a very nice ef i think.

further research has shown they only sold the one. the company director was described as potty and the company went down the pan shortly after

there are special 2p toilet seats that help you get over that!!!

or 1 through 49 we need to get to the bottom of this. when asked if the queen had one of these, she became a little flushed

an olive oil bath should get it back to how it used to look

i wouldnt want to sell for £30 quid as offered, theyre different to regular issues for sure, im happy to keep them as such. to me their still just worth 20p, i would like to ask mr headsandtails did he misunderstand the replies to the original question? magpies and jedi's equally

i bought the wife for xmas some new vibrators.......dish washer, tumble dryer and lawn mower

2 dumb blondes walk into a building you would have thought one of them would have seen it!

having filled up her car with gasolin, the dumb blonde realises shes locked herself out of her car she goes into the garage and pays for her gas and explains to the guy on the till that shes locked out. he says im kinda busy, take this wire and push it down on the inside of the window and see if you can pull up the door catch. i will come out as soon as i can. after 20 mins the guy realises that woman is still at her car, so he goes out to help when he gets there, there is a second dumb blonde sitting in the car saying......left a bit, up a bit

ha...very good i like "i bought the wife for xmas" jokes......heres a couple.....please add i bought the wife for xmas a false leg.....................................it wasnt her main present, just a stocking filler one of those new high power torches..............you should have seen her little face light up a new matching belt and bag.....................the hoover works a blxxdy treat now

an englishman is lost driving around ireland , he stops outside a pub and says to guy supping some guiness.....can you tell me the quickest way to dublin. the guy asks ....are you walking or driving? im driving he replies........thatll be the quickest way replies the irishman
