PWA 1967

Keep smiling and yes you have the photos right. Pete.

Yes its working george............Is that a Rhino coin

Not sure if it will put me off ............We all have different reasons for someone giving an opinion and i am happy with the service they have provided. But as always interested to read your forthcoming post. Please remember its an open forum and therefore dont think everyone will clap hands and i suggest you think first before you post as only fair. Easy to say negatives and unfortunately we dont say hat off enough Easy to find faults with most people (myself included) sometimes worth giving them the chance to reply rather than SHOUT. Dont know what your comments will be but enjoy Christmas and all the best. Pete.

Thats nice Benny

Hi george and welcome to the forum . Pete.

Obviously with them being so scarce, you're lucky to get a halfway reasonable one. What are yours like then, Pete? Rang tang ....one c.g.s. slabbed and another thats not much better

I have spotted over the last couple of years varieties of pennies that were not described as such on ebay. Sorry wasnt sure weather to post as a new topic / more pennies. The seller has been informed that the coin they have listed is scarce/rare (sometimes by a forum member). I think in the cases i have noted the person has one already ,infact i know. Question.......... Would you tell the seller or not ?. I have been watching pennies and all of a sudden the price has gone up considerably. After looking at information added on EBAY they have been informed its RARE. This can be frustrating after having the coin in my watch list for a few days. Alternatively if you DIDNT have one would you be as quick to SHOUT. Opinions please as wondered weather its right or wrong ?. This i appreciate happens in auction house descriptions but slightly different . Pete.

Thank you

Well its not that funny i have sent £35

1949 yes they are scarce ,cant tell much from the photo. As mentioned earlier and although i have a couple and one slabbed (problem free ) ,better to have one like your own with more detail ?.

Thanks Bernie. Is there a degreaser that we can try and get hold of ,or can you tell us the name of the banned one . Dont think anyone would blame you and sure they would have a practice first. Pete.

Bernie ,unfortunately some of the scarce ones it seems to be a case of put up with the problem or dont have one IMO and your the expert. Can you give any tips to us novices on what you did ?. Jerry never having used verdicare is it worth me buying a bottle to try on some cheap COPPPERS ?.........i.e.PRACTICE I dont buy any to sell but have accumulated about twenty scarce copper varieties and would like to preseve them ?.

Its not porn Matt and you have to be over 30 years old

Interesting question i mentioned to a forum member the other day. I have a 1862 halfpenny date its in fine so a lot better than a washer but has a spot of corrosion/verd. Would you prefer one if its scarce/the same coin..... problem free or lesser grade thats ok ?. Might sound daft but i have a few that wont IMO slab but was happy to buy them as scarce in grade.

As mentioned in the original title Jerry...... honesty or knowledge ................Maybe greed ?.

Didnt realise you were on about that one ,yes better to have one problem free.

F8 at £376 was a really good buy ,wish i had only paid that

Just paid £35 John Lets have ago and test the results properly on copper ,if you have some instructions let me know what works best. All the best and happy christmas. Pete.

Really interested and thank you for your post. I am intrigued and for the last twelve month really just focused on copper pennies 1825-59. I would not intentionally buy a coin to change its natural condition.....Would prefer a really nice one and problem free However can you sell me a bottle and allow me to post the results , alternatively sure you will have some photographs ?. Some copper pennies i have bought are considered scarce(other members)will agree,some may not. Would be happy to send you some pictures ?. Although scarce means some have problems and i would not consider sending to get slabbed and be rejected. I would still prefer to conserve them in a good condition,not interested in selling them. I have a few bronze also such as a nice 1862 halfpenny date,1862 three plumes etc that both have a small verd spot although fine + condition. I mention the above as not looking at £20 coins that i would not of bought in the first place and understand not a remedy for corrosion. Really without listing loads of varieties and condition would be really interested in any of your comments. Thank you and Keep smiling . Pete.

Not to worry Matt i know you were looking for a peck. Still good touch to give it away ..........Hat off Talking of which ,dont know if your not receiving mail but sent you one on Sunday to ask for your address again. Pete.

Paulus interested to see how you go on and please try it on a couple of coppers.......... maybe with a couple of before and after pictures. Dont see any problem at all using acetone if just a quick dip or gently used with a cotton bud.

Think i need to get a larger computer screen Dave

Not sure on the obverse but its not a halfpenny date.

Yes i especially like that 1878

Both 6+G, a bead width surely cannot be offered As another variety and become finest known, thats just crazy or money making Crazy...yes possibly but that depends on the individual who is buying it. Money making i dont think so and neither attracts a premium on the CGS chart. The thing is in fairness if a coin is referenced thats what they will slab it as , although a few have gone unnoticed.
