    Always complaining about the Scots but never want us to leave the union. Come The GE when we have a full quota of 50 odd Scots MPs then we'll see whats about to happen. Watch this space Scotland already has 59 MPs. Only the 6 SNP ones are really odd.

    Lot 2369 looks like it might have been dipped. What do the rest of you think? http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?searchlot=2369&searchtype=2&page=Catalogue

    Good point. I'm looking at mortgages based not so much on what current monthly repayments are but what they might be. I have 15 years fixed at 3.125%. A rise in interest rates would be good for me as it would boost income from savings but would not increase my mortgage repayments. I am sure that I am not alone. The economic landscape is complicated and the impact of an interest rate rise on investments in coins would not necessarily depress prices.

    There were two coins that interested me and they both went for far more than I thought they were worth or was willing to pay. In addition, a 1839 proof sixpence with the same grade (PF64) as my own went for about twice as much as I paid at Heritage just 9 months ago.

    I live in Arizona where the air tends to be very dry. And, as our house is built into the side of a hill, where the coins are stored tend to remain a pretty constant - and not too high - temperature. This is how I store them:

    Are you sure that this only applies to our "younger" collectors?

    Your dream coin?

    WOW ... for this and the other one.

    The ROI (Return on Investment) calculation is only relevant if you are considering selling at some point in the future. In general, I am a buyer and not a seller. I have sold a few coins via Heritage (individual to individual, not auction) but always at a net profit. I am careful to factor in commission, postage, etc. to my overall cost of ownership.

    Provenance

    jaggy replied to Mynki's topic in Beginners area

    I make a point of noting in my database which auction I bought a coin from, lot no. date and if it came from a specific collection (e.g. Willis). I also keep the paper trail to support that as well as any 'tickets' that come with the coin.
  21. jaggy
    Unfortunately, I don't have enough sixpences of those dates and I am in the USA which would make cost of postage a problem.
  22. jaggy
    In my view this coin is at best a VF due to the extent of wear and especially on the Reverse. The fact that "Anne's bust doesn't wear well" or that "there are so few good portraits" is not relevant to the grade. If, indeed, one would be "hard pressed to find anything in comparable condition" then this would affect the price due to rarity but not the grade.

    CGS Grading again

    jaggy replied to Mynki's topic in TPG Discussions

    I would only slab a coin if I wanted to sell it at Heritage and I would not slab it at CGS but at NGC or PCGS. Reasons for that are that Heritage seems to get the best prices but slabbing is a must to achieve that.

    Hard to say what it is worth and to be honest, I would leave that to someone more experienced in buying and selling than I am. Maybe I would hazard a guess at £25. Personally, I wouldn't buy it due to its condition. The DNW one sold for £340 but obviously it was in much better condition.
  25. jaggy
    Yes, indeed. One sold in the last DNW auction: 1791 Pattern by J.-P. Droz, in silver, crowned cypher within wreath, rev. Britannia seated left, edge plain, 2.51g/12h (ESC 1647; Selig 1232). http://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/catalogue-archive/lot.php?department=Coins&lot_id=116414 Shame about the condition.
