Bought an 1896 as although not into date widths this one looked wide without a lens.
After buying it did a bit of looking on recent auctions etc and sent a few emails.
A couple of people have had it recently who had not seen one before in reasonable condition GEF and maybe was a bit expensive but happy to keep it.
The coin is in gouby as BP1896Ad and dont think they are common so wide a date.
Without sounding a neg head and they sound spot on.
I once purchased a coin and was that good a fit i could not get the..... ""£%&*&&^%.....thing out
Suggest as anything just try a couple first.
Good you posted.
Would just say i have never seen a collection like i was shown today and blew my mind.
I thought i had some nice ones ......But now a bit negged out.
Sure your knowledge would be interesting to any collector.
The coins across every denomination i cannot comprehend.
Thank you for sharing your time for a couple of hours this morning.
Pete.
Sent it you Jon via mail.
They were sent out this morning PDF and the hard copies in the next couple of days.
Large collection of Halfcrowns/Crowns although i dont buy them most dates are included.

A 1933 lavrillier penny in the next Baldwin auction Lot 1070 although the write up on numisbids is worth a read.
Estimate £35K
