Got to love his belief in this!

There is an excellent series of publications called "Collectors Coins" by the publisher "Rotographic" that give the RM prices for the various sets. Sounds interesting! Have you thought of checking there, Chris? ?

There are some great acid images somewhere on this forum for comparison. They all show the increased erosion upon the stressed metal around the devices, as is mentioned above.

PHWoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaar! ?

And to add...very little margin at all at that end of the grade spectrum, maybe 2.75-2.8g?

Nothing about it that 'looks' wrong to me! I'd definitely recheck that weight on some proper scales, though.

Gorgeous, Pete!

Yes, you get a much better sense of the tonal quality in the images taken with the E2 penny! I think it's come up really well!

Given they can't even give a reign, where did they pluck that figure from! Hopeful? Gotta love eBay! 252028974667

Sorry, Nuts, not my area, but hopefully someone will know?

Tee Hee...never a dull moment on here! Where you been, Rooney?

We must have posted at the same time...will have a proper look at this later!

Oh, dear! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/William-111-crown-coin-1695-/321803575891?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aecfce253

Learning new things about it all is what keeps us going on here, we're learning every day! All the very best to you, Stuart

I have an other lot of those 1820 sovereigns , but i may hold on to them for abitDealer paid a very good price for them , received some good advise from a few on here , but when it comes to selling i think il look into properly as i did with 3 i sold , good job i didnt jump straight in and sell to those who made offers , id have been a good 400 light In some respects your statement is not fair, as we all had some poor pictures to work from, some which were just taken from the net! £400 over three coins is not a lot, especially if the person you sold them to had the privilege of seeing them in hand?This is the old problem of trying to make a financial judgement on images alone! You have to cover yourself by a small margin to allow for the details you can't see in an image, that could easily drag the resale value down by £600...what would you do if you were speculating on a grainy picture of a replacement car, which was due an MOT? Glad you got a result though!

Spot on! My instinct is you shouldn't worry, there's nothing about it that jumps out! And with that weight, we'd all be in trouble if that's a copy!

Nice one! Hope you got something out of coming on here? Don't forget us the next time something nice comes your way!

It's also got that spurred edge on the reverse from 12-4 O'Clock, I always like to see that pressing through my coin flips!

I'm not certain the G5 acorn reverse 6ds are quite so easy in UNC as we might imagine? Not so easy to find them ticking all the boxes! I only ever had ONE that I thought to be a prize, and that came from Manchester!

I doubt there are very many on here who could advise on the notes? Peter dabbles I believe? Mostly the two don't go together, strangely?

The first looks nice! Around AU for me! Leave the other...no point in having that! Edit: just as a disclaimer, I'd certainly buy it at GEF any day of the week!

I think he spends some time in Durham still? Not sure of the exact details???

And thinking about it there's Clive in Durham? http://www.historiccoinage.com And John here: http://www.argentumandcoins.co.uk

I think any dealer/collector on here would likely want to do that too?Thanks for bringing it to the table, though...interesting coins!
