  1. Think to sum up what i started. If its a mate /forum member let them know. Not a big deal but the ones who have one seem to SHOUT
  2. In fairness they were probably described as such. Interested in the forum members who spot something thats just date listed. The seller is then told of the variety they have missed.
  3. So the question is why are people telling the sellers ?.
  4. Smartass made me smile , Bernie i know for a fact some have been told from forum members. The question is would they have done so if they had one ?. I dont think so........ . The forum members on here would like your honest opinion.
  5. Yes that looks nice NONS.

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Yes if you put a copper (not bronze) coin in acetone and leave for longer than 30-40 seconds will lighten the high points. In my experience

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Yes rob its been cleaned . The acetone without olive oil makes it reflective ?. When i have practised with a couple of cheap coins and left in acetone to long always appear bright. Think the fingerprint has always been there but interested in your comments.

    Using acetone to clean coins

    They only tend to show on coins with good lustre so assume unless its got hold of the coin and is really dark its a nice coin. Have you got a picture ?.

    Well two grading companies have looked and they know a lot more than a beginner like me. I probably get fussy when i send them to CGS as dont want to spend £25 to get them rejected. Nice coin , will you be selling it ?.

    Not at all if your happy its a nice coin. Just looked like verd on the reverse at twenty five past that was active rather than the large spot on the obverse. A nice coin in UNC.... IMO..... but as you know CGS tend to be strict. Whats your opinion looking under a glass and tilting the coin under a light ?.

    Thats obviously a LCA / CGS picture Paul Its as you are aware got verd /problems IMO and although UNC was it sold already slabbed ?.
  24. You know your subject Jaggy and obviously have an amazing collection. I often look at ones you have bought and all look really nice. Any pictures to share on anything you have bought lately ?. You may be able to help me,i recently bought a copper penny that was in a recent heritage sale 1858 F/B in Def although not described that way. It was in the Bob Bennett collection ,can i assume he was an american collector of just pennies as Heritage/internet does not say anything about him ?.
  25. Discipline and how much do i want it are unfortunately two different things. I can understand the theory but sometimes i have just bought them and crossed it off the list. I dont buy them for an investment i do that elsewere and if in years to come i have paid to much well so be it ,so long as its ok and problem free i am happy. Dont get me wrong we dont want to pay way over for anything but £100 on a coin at £500 + not sometimes worth waiting for another.
