PWA 1967

I have logged on hoping someone had some kind of answer . Some ideas are better than none. Hope you find an answer that you are happy with Matt as think if it were mine would start doing my head in

Just thought i would bring this up Colin. You recently sent a F9 for slabbing and came back as a normal one ?. Must be a reason for you after these comments to use them again. Its nothing to do with me but you new from experience before you sent it ?.

Sent you a mail Matt .

I would keep that Matt and perhaps send to the Royal mint . If nobody can be sure its definately interesting and unusual. Were matrix/dies made bigger for any reason. ......such as a trial strike for a new die . I know 1937 were the same but must of been replaced at some point. I am not having its squashed and think its genuine. Maybe i am completely wrong

I keep looking at this and cant see how its possibly been squashed ,everything seems spot on . The rim / teeth and detail surely would not be as clear. The reverse being double struck also makes me think

Its only money

Know Matt 120384 is a collector as are the others although can only comment on the pennies.

Whats a HOF penny

Hopefully someone can help as i would not have a clue

Thats interesting Matt ,what year is it and is the reverse just as good ?.

Agreed and i am uneducated

Nice find Brian and a nice coin

Think you might end up like me Weaver and not pass any exam

Please leave the pennies i cant find any as it is

Give Neil a ring by all means as he is an honest guy although there are numerous others ,maybe visit a show. The idea of making profits though i think should be forgotten about as there is know gaurantee at all .

Without hopefully boring you I phoned a dealer up and explained i wanted to buy a few coins to put away for my grandaughter. I had spent a few months reading and decided i was going to buy some pennies to put away for 18/21 years. Explaining my requirements and asking for help i then bought a few . I was told they were nice and high grades and had know reason to doubt him and spent £1,000.00 Approx. Before going any further and having nobody else to check them decided to send them to cgs to be graded really for my own peace of mind. The six coins came back rejected and two in much lower grades When i phoned the dealer i just got excuses (they dont have a clue e.t.c.) i told him two were cleaned and was told i must of done it. Taught me to learn a lot more and not to trust this seller again...........i wont and have spent thousands over the last three years a customer he lost. Neil paisley at Colin Cooke has looked after me well ever since so i am happy to keep buying from him and a couple of others. I dont want the coins for nothing (although would be nice) just at a fair price and as described Be lucky and take your time. Pete.

Find a couple of dealers you trust and who are happy to spend time helping you is .......... good advice as already mentioned. Just as there is one dealer i would never buy anything from again ,an experience i learned a lot from

Hi Ben and welcome to the forum

Did well then Hat off and a good buy

Why was he raving about it or did he not know like the Low tide ?.

Someone just pointed out the PDF number may not match the coin. A mate scanned them and the photos were numbered on the back and the coin flips. Will mean you will have to look at them properly ,but easy to determin the variety. Pete

Not a problem. Matt,Richard,David,Jon,Nons,John. If anyone wants to put any of the pictures on the forum its not a problem and not a big deal. Always happy to help collectors. Pete.
