PWA 1967

By the way when i enter a post a thing comes up saying warning points. Whats that all about ?

I would not say a bad word about anyone over a forum.I just feel that in a lot of coins advertised and resold it is a shame to see the up grade.I understand people in any business need to make a living ,but would like a bit of integrity.One forum member was kind enough to send me a mail ,a number of coins were sold at a recent spink auction.The grades and the amount the seller wants seem good business buy something for £600 and then resell for twenty times more. I love people making money ,however if i buy a coin and dont get what was described become dissapointed having to return it .Lately this seems to be getting more frequent. Be lucky .

Rock stacking really through me,i had never heard of it and see the post has been deleated .Thanks for the catalogue rob.

Hi azda. Sorry what i meant is coins sent to c.g.s., that are rejected are stll graded and not given a value in their opinion.I could put a coin away for years and if spending a few thousand on a couple of pennies as i did last week would not want the person i left them for have a lot of junk.When i started this thread it was because even a novice like me could tell coins were not as described as they should of been and got Fxxxxx of keep sending them back.

Although the thread was about coins not even sen to c.g.s. ,When a coin comes back from them even if rejected they are still given a grade.They dont however put a value on i.e unc cleaned rejected

Yes coinery no problem with that.The post was made initially with coins not even sent to c.g.s. they were just obviously not right even to someone like me not right.

Hi what is rock stacking ?

Nothing its faulty

The supprised me post was meant towards comments you made five days ago not todays.. The coins were part of a batch looked at by people with over eighty years experience,I was amazed as they were ,however the coins were rejected.They were not purchased from neil/colin cooke.The fact you mention should of been spotted by an advanced collector i dispute.You mention in an earlier thread you have had coins rejected by c.g.s.or maybe i am mistaken maybe i am learning from your mistakes,did you get your money back? .I dont want to sound as if i am bringing up comments from five days ago and i apollogise but i am not an advanced collector.I am however someone who is willing to listen and learn.

THEY WERE NOT NEILS infact i could not speak highly enough of him ,as will be noticed in my previous posts

Would not be fair to mention a dealer on an open forum the facts are the coins were rejected and my money refunded,as i mentioned although the coins had cost me about £600 and the seller disputed the rejections they were not what i wanted.I am sure they have now been resold and hope the purchaser is happy.The slabbing is my way of having a better knowledge that the collection is what i bought initially.Everyone is different but i will be sending another twenty or so pennies in the next week and only interested in grades of 78 or better.I would not be bothered or dispute a coin of less than £200 the grading is that strict that i check the coin thoroughly myself and then still get a second opinion,some can still be rejected.This means if the dealer is honest i would ask for a refund and hope i have a relationship and understanding that i have not touched or damaged the coin in anyway.

No they were not fakes and if you think it was quite decent of the dealer i cant believe. Would you buy faulty goods from a shop the seller gave me a refund straight away.I was still out of pocket with the grading cost but feel money well spent. Coinery you could not get your head round my coins from colin cooke sent to c.g.s..Is this because you have returned coins to them previously ?.

Nice some positives come from my post.I am really supprised some people look on the negatives,the post was not meant in that way.I was not here to name dealers with bad experiences.I have just sent back another three coins from a reputable dealer ,full refund but rejected by c.g.s.The three coins only cost £600 but although the dealer was fair ,could quite easily just put them in a tray.

Yes after my rant yesterday would like to say colin cooke coins have always been spot on and having slabbed over thirty i have purchased through them,all graded as they were sold to me.

Just been told its hard to make a living.Easy get another job.

Daftest thing i have seen .

One point i feel worth mentioning .Had a couple of coins slabbed recently both graded 85 however do not feel the photographs do the coins justice.Only a slight moan but would think they could do better.

Yes i would cheekly say GOODBYE

1932 penny on for £900 ,i dont mind slabs but that is ridiculous.

Peck your not right in the head.

Hi . i recently purchased an 1876H penny.The thing i am confused with is its been graded by c.g.s. as a specimen strike.I no it might not be a big deal,does this just mean its a good early strike ?. sorry i cant download the pictures .However its c.g.s. uin 26028.If someone can put the pictures up would appreciate it.At a caravan in abersoch and the computer keeps going off. Many thanks . Pete.

Hi.The information i have been given is that heaton mint produced samples for this year in limited numbers .After talking to numerous people including c.g.s seems to make sense

Hi chris and welcome to the forum.

Hi tom ,must be worth having slabbed.The small cost may give you a better idea.I dont have a clue were you live ,you can drop the coin off at one of the shows and pick it up at a later date to save on the postage.I only buy pennies but can you get verd on silver or any other metal?

Sensible question as i dont have a clue.Can you get verd on anything but copper and bronze ?
