    Wow really, I'd say a lot lower than that, maybe with buyer's premium and tax but that's a hefty figure.. I've seen a few stunners go up to about 125 but not much more. Do they use auction house statistics only do you know?

    Here's one for me that arrived a few days ago, courtesy of Mr. Magee..
  3. Nordle11
    Haha yeah, that'll be the day.. Well a good price for a b****y difficult year, a job well done I'd say
  4. Nordle11
    How much did you pay for it Prax? That one's top of my list at the moment, at least that's one less bidder to worry about..

    Your pictures always make me want to start collecting conders/tokens... The designs are always so detailed and beautifully struck, I wish I had the money! Stunning coin, thanks for sharing

    Thanks for sharing Mark, I've been getting used to international transfers for the past year and it's not been a great experience I must say.. I'll use them for my monthly transfer this month and let you know how I get on.. hopefully as well as you did!

    Haha I didn't even notice... "C'est la Peter"...

    To be fair, you did add in the 'R' to that name yourself he just said Mr. Sole! But I'm stealing that for future purposes...

    Yeah looks like mint damage. I saw that one a while back on ebay, but wondered if it would fit into a capsule with that knock haha. Potential purchase?

    Really lovely coin Prax! Are you keeping it entombed?
  11. Nordle11
    Wow, serious 'rainbow' toning. How did that even happen? 351368245212

    I preferred your nonchalant description for such a rare coin! I can see the join now

    Short answer - yes, he made it himself. /end thread

    This came up on ebay this morning.. (picture attached) with no obverse, a title which said "1877 narrow date penny" and a description with not much else.. He took it down and said it was an april fools joke, but where did the picture come from? Photoshopped?

    Meh, my quotes don't work That was @ Damien, I've not gone mental, yet.

    Hello sir. You make a good point, and yes the design is muuuch better before they get it on a coin. The end result is really lacking, however
  17. Nordle11
    I don't understand why the designs on the coins we produce now are so basic and underwhelming, even more so as time goes on. It's like they can't be bothered anymore, I mean look at the (lack of) detail on her hair!?! Let alone everything else in the design. Sorry to moan, it's good to see her back on the currency, but they certainly could have done a better job of it
  18. Nordle11
    Indeed, as does the beading. This and Rob's methods of checking should oust any fake you have!
  19. Nordle11
    Reallly? That's what press does for you...

    I collect error coins (albeit pre-decimal) but I've never seen incorrect flan errors go for £1000! That article was only a few weeks back, would be interested to see what the realised price was in the end. Perhaps a trial towards eventual electro-plating? The only concerning thing is the traces of copper/bronze (orange) on the two pence..
  21. Nordle11
    Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks
  22. Nordle11
    Some people call it different things I think. I've heard this being called "spooning" as well and there's a similar effect you get from putting a coin in the tumble dryer which I've heard being called "tumbling", unsurprisingly. The latter really wears all the detail from a coin though so it's blatantly obvious.
  23. Nordle11
    Ah, the second lot of pictures is much much better Lovely coin, and what a bargain for a tenner too!! Although yours has the carbon spot (which isn't too intrusive), mine has quite a bit of ghosting by looking at the pictures. I'll soon see when it turns up!
  24. Nordle11
    Funnily enough I was bidding on this yesterday - Link - and managed to get it for £4.31 The wait paid off.. Unfortunately it's the other way for me, the 1930 is pretty much BU however my '32 has a slightly patchy lustre to it, although when looked at in a nice bright light it looks a lot better haha
  25. Nordle11
    Not exactly one of eBay's worst, but unusual nevertheless! Link I've seen a lot of post-mint, nifty artisan work but this one's new..
