    Good coin dealers

    Paulus replied to WildCamper's topic in Beginners area

    Hi WildCamper There are many reputable dealers, many specialise a little, so what are you looking to collect?

    CROWNS

    Very hard to capture in pics too, which is part of the problem!

    How does this one look to you all? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261009115957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_500wt_1413

    Yep, go for it! Although if eBay and paid by Paypal, you may well get refunded if you report it

    1849 penny

    Paulus replied to mhcoins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I agree with Stuart, the reverse does not quite make EF for me either, EF/NEF

    Ordered this from Rob last night, looks to have some nice toning (halfpenny)

    Some major appeal on the reverses there especially! Not sure if I have posted this one before on here, grading opinions? (Halfcrown)

    URGENT help required. 1902 crown fake!??!

    Paulus replied to youngsie21's topic in Beginners area

    Not just the 'Roman' I but the other date numbers also look ill-formed, what do other members think?

    Crown 1934 - Grading Competition

    Paulus replied to The Coinery's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Blimey a 1934 proof crown would be worth £fortunes I imagine!

    Paulus replied to The Coinery's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    I'll guess at choice UNC LCGS 80 on that one

    Penny 1912 - UNC

    Paulus replied to The Coinery's topic in Items For Sale

    When this coin was graded, CGS 80 was described as UNC - it may well say this on the slab - they changed their descriptions a few years ago so that 78 became UNC, 70 aUNC etc I have just bought an 1861 shilling which is CGS 78 and described on the slab as AU

    Authentication of Stuart era coins.

    Paulus replied to Ppierce's topic in Beginners area

    The weight always helps, also posting pics on this Forum. A lot of quality stuff will have provenance too, always ask for it

    In my limited experience I have used acetone very sparingly and very carefully, but never on proof coins - and I have never found that it removes fingerprints - they (fingerprints) are pretty much there to stay I think. I just nowadays try to avoid them in the first place, although, like many, I have made mistakes in the past
