    1904 Penny BU Mint F159

    There are many types of which I currently have more than 1 example, over time I decide which I prefer and sell the others ... doubtless this will also be the case with Edward VII pennies I have absolutely no regrets about being freed from the shackles of date runs or variety collecting, not even bothered about being a completist when it comes to broad types, just continuing to enjoy collecting coins I like ... sticking to English pre-dec, Tudor to Liz II though

    1904 Penny BU Mint F159

    Good question - but this will only be my 2nd very high grade E7 penny! (the other being a standard 1902)

    CGS grading

    Yes, Bill is the Chair of the CGS Forum and FB Group 'Coin Grading Services (CGS) Collectors', I spoke with him the other day ... expect some 'developments'

    Coin Pics

    Thanks all for your kind comments on my pics - I have spent countless hours, and doubtless many more to come! My current (if not yet final) configuration has has some very minor tweaks, which seem to make one neck of a difference! I will post details shortly. This Maundy set accompanies (and matches) the crown - sixpence proof set set I bought and posted about - they are a bugger to get good pics of
  7. Also agree with 2691, if their estimates are correct and it goes for just 20% more than the other 3, it's a no-brainer to me

    Coin Pics

    Thanks Bob I will also post individually as the pic sizes do not seem to work otherwise, been a labour of love!

    Coin Pics

    Spent ages on these this evening, comments invited on my best pics of my recent 1902 proof crown - sixpence set

    any ideas?

    VF for me too, as you first thought Chaps - need to see the rev though

    CGS membership for free

    Yes they've had a 're-think' - and not the last I'll wager
  12. Paulus

    any ideas?

    Yes, that's the one, the one below will be the proof, far more valuable! "Included with Gothic" simply relates to the mintage figures, which are given by year, not type / variety (or even the date on the coin!), back in the day
  13. Paulus

    any ideas?

    Not at all, novices, and all and any questions, are extremely welcome! You may be looking a guide prices for a proof, I would expect the circulating 1887 Jubilee head florin to be the first item listed in that section. My latest CCGB (2014) has it at just £40 in UNC Edit: PS - ignore, and do not be intimidated by, the 'Forum God' nonsense - it's automatic after a certain number of posts
  14. Paulus

    any ideas?

    Spink 2015 has it at £85 in full UNC - what book are you using?
  15. Paulus

    any ideas?

    It appears to be a problem-free high grade example, in aUNC - easy to find in this grade but not for £6 + change - and of course this is an auction with over a day to go, you cannot just buy it at the current price!
  16. Paulus

    any ideas?

    Fine on the rev, maybe slightly better, less than F on the obverse As Peter suggests, plenty of high grade examples available

    Buying online

    Yes, plenty, Colin Cooke, swcoins, buckscoins, to name but 3, all sell on eBay as well as on their own dedicated web sites and at fairs ... there are many others I use. Normally you will get what you are after cheaper by buying directly, as eBay fees are eliminated. Are you focussing on anything in particular yet?
  18. Paulus

    Buying online

    Dealers' web sites, coin fairs, proper coin auctions - all with far superior stock and reliability compared to 99% of eBay. There are a number of highly recommended dealers on here, depending on your collecting focus and budget. I would not go out of my way to recommend the dealer you cite, from personal experience. Feel free to run a potential purchase past the experienced and helpful bunch on here, before you buy!

    Cataloging a collection

    Hi Ian I also use Wordpress for my collection, like Santa I didn't trawl through all the themes, just picked one I liked and that was easy to use. I use 'Twenty Fourteen', which is a 'responsive' theme, meaning that it will adapt to any viewing environment (PC/laptop/tablet/smart phone)

    any ideas?

    Welcome Chapps, Fine (F) for me
