    A bargain !

    I still maintain that one can't tell whether a coin has been "cleaned" or not from a photograph. Photos can differ dramatically according to the technology and lighting that are used to take them. None of the coins pictured above look particularly different from many other of the London Coins photos. There will never be a substitute for examining the coin in hand. If in doubt before buying or bidding, check that you can return the coin if not satisfied.

    I bought the F79 in this week's DNW sale. It's virtually BU.

    Que ?

    The 1869 penny was described as "wiped" in the catalogue. What exactly does this mean ???? I can "wipe" my brow or I can "wipe" all trace of something. Another ambiguous term.
  17. secret santa
    yes, that was a nice overdate - I had it down as a possibility but drew the line at the F6A and the F79.
  18. secret santa
    It certainly looks very nice in the DNW photo.

    They all have denominations: https://www.westminstercollection.com/p-403M/50th-Anniversary-of-the-50p-Military-BU-Set.aspx

    Lot 556 was a F79.

    Mike - the Freeman 7 went for £500 hammer - it was the nice F1 that didn't sell, surprisingly. I expect your 7 was a typo. The 1864 was a good buy - nearly went for it.

    When I saw there'd been another response, I thought that maybe I'd got a sensible reply...........................Silly me !!!!
  23. secret santa
    "cleaning" is a dangerous word - does it mean the careful removal of lumps of dirt or grease or is it the artificial enhancement of lustre ? A more descriptive word would be more useful.
  24. secret santa
    Not the greatest photo but looks like an R or S (I'm not convinced there's a difference between the 2 varieties).

    I fear that my wife will not support the installation of this device because squirrels are so fluffy and entertaining.
