4 Points Difference Is Valued At £350
Coinery replied to azda's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
good spot, Sword! Thanks for the link, Paulus, what a cracking coin, doesn't seem real! I think it's the first time I've seen such crispness of detail on the strap across the chest! -
St. James Auction 25
Coinery replied to mhcoins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Blinkin' 'eck, look at that 1920S! -
Collecting broadly is a great idea for those who haven't a clear focus to begin with, but you seem to have a very clear idea of what you want to achieve. I'd definitely follow your first instinct...truth be told, you'll likely find yourself travelling down all sorts of coin roads, and will probably change your focus a few times before settling into something more focused, anyway!Welcome aboard DL...I like a bit of Elizabethan Hammered myself!

Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!

I'm no expert with proofs, but that certainly does look proof-like, a brilliant coin! -

Great quality coin AND image, sound! If that's the actual colour of the coin, then there's nothing to add that would make a difference, photographically speaking...not from a fellow amateur anyways! -
England Frightened Of Scottish Indepemdence

The greatest sense spoken on the matter, David... I also definitely agree with DaveG's observations on the nitty gritty of it all!I'd say your view David is enlightened in its origin, and a refreshing change to the common view on things! -
Choosing The Best Example For Your Collection
Coinery replied to Accumulator's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I do agree...three coins makes the dynamics of 1 rejection easier...you're still left with a tough call on the last 2, however?I haven't developed this discipline, yet, I still flip coins over and over just wondering where to draw the line! So hard! If Turner had painted 2 images of the same scene, would it ever be possible to pick one over the other? I think coins are the same...when 'crafted' by a history of nearly a hundred years, how can we possible quantify perfection? The definition between junk and collectable is very clear...however, the top of the collectable range, always divides into what you would like/prefer/accept outside of perfection! And, truth be told, both coins in the OP have stand-alone qualities unquestionable! I come to a simple conclusion that it's impossible to decide, at least for me, and I'm thinking AC too, otherwise the struggle between the two coins wouldn't exist? Oh, don't we love dem coins! -

Interesting point! Also, what would the situation be if England desired to separate from the UK, if its leaving were to plunge other country members into potential economic strife (not saying it would)? Just for argument's sake, let's say the population of Wales were economically a drain on resources (I'm not saying it is, of course), and England independently voted to go it alone, thinking itself to be financially better off, and then Wales were to go bankrupt and spiral into a state of civil unrest? Who would be the bad guys? I've just read the above...man does it sound cowardly (I'm not saying it is, of course! ) -

Very pretty example! Like it! -
You forgot the most important bit Rob.. Pop Report: 001Woohooo! This is just like being PCGS! Only without the shedloads of money people pay us. And the slabs. That would make it the finest known! WhooooHoooo!
-
That's a pretty enough coin, though...for a man wearing a feather hat, at least?It's a decent coin, mark or not! Fun, fun, fun!

Not so funny, really...I don't actually have a Bognor Regis one...not from Tescos anyway!Was that Suzi on 5? No, hang on, she did Christmas Eve, I remember now!
-
Early days for me, David, I haven't got a single 20p...3 x 5p's and 2 x 1p's and 1 x 10p just doesn't make a collection! I'm sure I'll calm down once the bottomless pocket of the boat chills out a bit?
-
I confess, it does put a certain twist on things to realise the extent of business that the old SOHO mint got up to! I merely jest...send me that 20p you!
-
Go on, then! Cheers, TG! It's true, I've lost the plot, I'm honestly enjoying the time-old experience (one I never had, incidentally) of just picking out BUish coins from change! It fills a need!

Choosing The Best Example For Your Collection
Coinery replied to Accumulator's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't think it's so clear cut! I'd probably bounce them around from hand to hand, give myself an enormous headache, maybe even wish I'd collected feathers or something, and then put them both back until I was so skint I had to sell both! I hate those kind of choices! It's always the same with coins in the upper grades, there's always some aspect that's charming about each, mostly qualities that are rarely found together in one coin! I quite like the first, reminds me of a 1920 (or was it '21) I've got! I truly don't mind 'honest' and genuine period weakness! -

Take 4 Months To Pay
Coinery replied to Nicholas's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Still not a total classic, yet, but I still have a soft spot for the GPZ900 Ninja of the late 80's -
I'm got a feeling mine's bigger than your's, Peter?
-
Oh, and you could be in luck, Peter, my fenders clock up another couple of feet!

You should talk to Stuart. Apparently he just finds coins in his change! Who knew you could do that?! I found a 2010 penny, yesterday...who'd have thought?
-
Welcome to the dark side, Rich! Looks like a no-problem coin to me! Re bids...as Declan and Paulus explained, people so very often move on when they see the bigger starting prices!

I'd be interested in your UNC G6 stuff, Paul?

March London Coins Auction
Coinery replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree, that IS difficult! Had the description not suggested otherwise, I'd have said it looks right for the grade, and an example of what I was talking about! The obverse is horribly baggy, of course, but that isn't something that should unduly affect the lustre quality!Without the benefit of seeing the coin in-hand, my instinct would say typo or ignorance?? With the description attached, however, I wouldn't buy it on the images (though I would otherwise), I'd want to see it in the flesh! Edit: even the print on the reverse, whilst undesirable (though I'm not too stressed about 'attractive' prints), is generally a sign of a better coin, lustre-wise?
