    Your pictures are much better than the sellers. That tone though... Yes please.
  2. Nordle11
    Excellent new images! Much more detail, the obverse is especially nicer in the new photos.

    Thought as much. Can you still see who won it through a flaw on the iPad (if I remember correctly you saying something like that)?

    About a year ago I bought one that could have been a rarer variety, I think the seller cottoned on to it and they 'couldn't find it anywhere' after I'd bought it. Funnily enough they messaged me back about 2 months later to say they'd found it, the funny thing was that it had somehow worked it's way into a slab while being lost. I guess they sent it off to check for varieties and when it came back as bog standard they offered it back to me.

    That was about the WORLD ending post, didn't see your last one about the bank notes. That's a kick in the b******* though

    Lol obviously, this is MP we're talking about
  10. Nordle11
    LOL what? I always watch the seldom seen coins for prices realised, or to bid if it's a good price. I only bid on the MP one on the off chance that his shiller had internet problems as the auction ended

    Was watching a nice looking 1919kn on eBay a few weeks a go, which ended up at £311 (Link), that then turned up here with the usual private listing format, I was winning at about £200 until the last second of course. So it "sold" for £218, I've just been waiting for the 'second chance offer' but not holding my breath

    Tethered shooting is good (and makes you feel like a pro while doing it ) but really depends on your preference. When I take pictures there's no need to have the image on the computer because the viewfinder is good enough for me, also moving files across to the computer is nice and quick. Just saves buying an extra bit of kit really, but can definitely be beneficial, especially if you're taking 20+ pictures all in one go.

    1904 Penny UNC - BU

    Yeah of course, but to me it would only warrant a mention instead of an extra reference for itself. But just like all things, who's to say what deserves a reference of it's own and what doesn't. Everyone's 'variety' list is probably different even if we all collect the same denomination

    1904 Penny UNC - BU

    Nordle11 posted a topic in Wanted

    Hi all, I'm almost finished with the 20th Century with the exception of a really nice 1904 penny (and the '18 kn + h varieties, but I'll wait for these). I was hoping someone had a nice example they want to sell? I don't really want to wait until the next LondonCoins auction, and they're seldom seen in UNC+ on eBay. Thanks! Matt

    Nordle11 replied to Nordle11's topic in Wanted

    Yes they definitely do there are plenty of new varieties, especially for pennies. Like your triple colon dot Pete, that's not really a variety more a flaw, but they'll list as a variety. They list extra linear circles, unbarred Hs, open and closed 9's, thin and thick 7's etc etc. All as varieties, IMO they should be footnotes or points of interest. Keeps the collectors collecting I suppose!

    Nordle11 replied to Nordle11's topic in Wanted

    I mean because they basically stuck their middle finger up at their whole user base with the changes and the way they went about it. I don't doubt too much their ability to identify the varieties though, they're definitely much better than the American TPGs with the British coinage.

    Did they note that it's the recessed ear variety?

    Carbon spot.

    Do CGS reject for field damage even when the damage is from the mint? Like a lamination error or a dodgy planchet.
  20. Nordle11
    Thanks for that little lesson in light diffusion, that was very informative
  21. Nordle11
    Personally I think that's much better. Also a cracking coin

    Too true

    I don't even know that they have central heating here, I certainly don't haha. Should've read 50W, not 500W I'm not up to spec on my light bulb wattage but basically get a yellow one
  24. Nordle11
    Definitely right there Nick, such a difficult task capturing the true lustre. I don't know if you already have, Paul, but take a look at the different lighting colours for different metals. I find white lights work amazingly with silver bits and lights with a slightly yellow tinge work much better for copper/bronze. For example, first picture was using an 7W LED white light and the second using a regular 500w(?) house light bulb. The setup and location was the same, just the lights were changed, lots of difference. Both coins are practically the same in terms of lustre. You can see the juxtaposition just from the background which is just a thick white piece of card. Grey in one picture and brown in the other, neither of which is the actual colour

    Nice little memento, I wouldn't mind having an example used in the books either.
