Commonest (cheapest) Viccy Copper and Bronze Pennies in High Grade
PWA 1967 replied to Paulus's topic in Free for all
Hi paulus i have a spare 1891 CGS 32567 graded 75 would sell for £70 including postage. Although i may say it myself its nicer than the picture(as you no some are not the best). Not a problem if no use let me no if you would prefer another date. Pete. -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Dont worry about me Ian always chilled .....well not always Is that yours ,has that been added ?. -
More importantly are these coins now being shown as conserved when people are selling them. I have bought a few graded as rejects really cheaply , but feel more often they are broken out and resold as being ok.
-
I slab pennies and nothing else for reasons i have mentioned before. If they dont reject any and give just a grade i cant see any benefit sending them as i dont want to sell any and the grade is not far away from reputable opinion I cannot believe they say .... we will charge you for conservation so you have a decent coin. After just reading the NGC site its not something i can get my head round I only collect copper/bronze pennies..... surely they should say....... Buy another ,the one you have has problems,not we will clean it

1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I will let you rest and chill out ..... YES its a clogged die and being an expert thats YOUR opinion. You still miss the point............ if someone (not yourself) want a second / Third opinion send it .....if you dont not a problem. I was just giving another option... and as you state one your not bothered about. -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not at all they get things wrong but not much to spend on an opinion. I didnt really just mean with this coin was more in general. By the time you spend driving round to dealers /fairs putting petrol in and messing about. Post the coin and see what they say .... nothing to lose you still get it back. However i trust them enough to say i would buy it if came back ok.........but thats another thread. -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Its nothing to do with weather one has been attributed. Its if your really not sure spend £13.75 and find out . Otherwise make your own decision I have just received quite a few pennies back that they have not slabbed before. What they have done is confimed the variety and said they are problem free ,so i am more than happy -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As daft as it seems some technology with regards microscopes and lighting costs a lot more than £14. What i was trying to say..... if you want to have an opinion a coin might be worth sending it might resolve a thought. If you dont and leave the question wide open , well not a problem just an idea and leave it I dont think the H is missing but if the guy who has it ,spend £14 and find out Alfnail has the best microscope for coins i have seen but was slightly over £14 -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes i agree but somtimes easier to say if you want to be sure send it to someone who will look properley. For the sake of spending £14 easy to find out and if you dont want to risk that much you know its not ok. -
1876 penny no H?
PWA 1967 replied to Greaves's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes i may be shot down in flames Ones like this ...if your not sure.... send to cgs and for £13.75 get an independent opinion. People on here can only look at a picture rather than the coin going under a microscope /Light and three people looking in hand. It might take a couple of months Otherwise you will keep looking and wont get the attribution. £13.75 is not a lot to spend and if you dont think it is ok just keep it , i assume you are not sure or wouldnt of posted. Plus if its OK i will buy it -
To live in his house is a good reason for looking for them. I dont think that has come up on the forum before

200? new 2p error coin?
PWA 1967 replied to Marc's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thats a good example Rob. -
Fantastic coin prax and one to keep Fortunately the coins i looked at were not mine Vicky but ones i looked at. A couple are with dealers and dont think it would be fair on the dealer to bring to everyones attention on an open forum. What i would suggest is check before you buy as always and now i will double check. I only send coins to get slabbed to try and ensure they are problem free (not a guarentee but gives me peace of mind) if they dont reject any then the grade is not always the issue.
-
Yes i agree ,why its a forum would like to see any posts rather than nothing. Without people posting it would no longer be a forum. We may aswell just email each other

A 1903 open 3 in unc Hope you still have a picture Prax. The one Richard has is quality but never seen one ln that kind of grade. Like alot of the varieties i am sure they will turn up in high grades.
-
Interesting posts Prax and thank you. The ones i couldnt find months ago were ok just me entering them wrongly

200? new 2p error coin?
PWA 1967 replied to Marc's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Would be better to perhaps post a picture Welcome to the forum .........whats the pink all about -
Spent the last twenty minutes looking at NGC pennies...... yes i need to get out more. Can anyone find one that is mentioned on the slab as i have just found a few that are live verd ?.
-
Vicky knows his silver so that will be spot on dippy dip and no need to send it.
-
Another thread has brought this to my attention. Has anyone got a penny thats got VERD / CORROSION mentioned on an NCG slab ? I have found dozens that have obvious problems on photos but never seen any mentioned on the slab. Fully aware they just grade /give a number and seen a lot of problems that buyers seem happy with As they dont however reject them wanted to see any faults. Apart from ANACS dont see any grader who gives me confidence in sending pennies ?. A coin that has verd /corrosion and slabbed will get worse it cant improve and should be mentioned....otherwise why send it One coin that has verd/corrosion/carbon spot in fact anything.....please post.... would love to see one. Please post as not got any confidence in sending any for peace of mind and have seen faults on a lot. Just one does not seem much , but as a betting man you will struggle. Or is it they dont bother and just give them a grade ?. Pete.

Grade please (1816 sixpence)
PWA 1967 replied to SWANNY's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A lot more people will give you a better opinion but the obverse UNC the reverse less so A / unc -
They look absolutely terrible and cant understand why someone would artificially tone a coin to look like that. Everyone to there own but all those ............

PWA 1967 replied to bhx7's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes that makes sense . Suppose what i should of said rather than withdrawn was did they change the design after only producing a few -
