Phil replied to Martinminerva's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, very nasty copy. I also routinely report any fakes, replicas etc. to eBay when spotted as I did with this one. -
1887 sixpence R over 1 or not?
Phil replied to Voynov_BG's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, I would say so too. -
Thoughts on this halfcrown?
Phil replied to Conor44's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hello Chris, The op Half Crown was one of mine that sold on eBay recently and here is the link to the completed listing - hopefully the link works. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1836-William-IIII-Milled-Silver-Half-Crown-EF-/351800123448? Incidentally like yourself, I have dealt with Martin on many occasions over the years without any problems at all. Obviously I can only speak from my own experience but he has always been completely open and honest with me and has always been a pleasure to deal with. Phil- 48 replies

Looking to grade my sixpence
Phil replied to bhx7's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Personally I don't think its too lenient - of course grading can be very subjective but I think this book does an excellent job overall and is a must have for any new collector. I still refer to in now and then myself and it is the only book on grading I ever recommend to anyone who asks for my advice. -

I would have put it at EF myself for the same reasons as ozjohn -
Richard Marles Passed Away
Phil replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That is very sad. It was the Check Your Change books that kindled my interest in coins during the the late 1960's - perhaps like many other collectors of a similar age to myself. It was recommended to my me by my uncle, also a life long collector, and who indeed still is at the age of 92. Sadly I no longer have the books. -
Thank you - most helpful
-
Thank you - much appreciated. Would that be Spink 2799? How would you grade this - I thought AVF?
-
Hi all, I wondered if anyone can help me identify this Charles 1st shilling - this is outside my normal area so any help much appreciated.
