http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&searchterm=1858+Large+Rose&searchtype=1 Either size date are scarce ,so doesnt really matter ,obviously the rose is on the reverse If you look at LOT 2652 & LOT 1810 its the same Large date as you have and the description notes,underlying figure.
-
No....Ian. There are not any known obvious overdates on the large rose.,just small date and large date.The one you are thinking of is the one you bought off me that maybe over something but cant be certain what.
-
Yes it was a really good price for the seller Mike -
I was really happy with this one as purchased a while ago not attributed as a large rose in an auction.They are quite scarce in any grade ,so to send it to cgs for Freya and it come back as 80 was a bonus. Makes looking and searching worthwhile sometimes . Pete.

I would have a think first and would send it back if its not right there is know confrontation if you bought it from a dealer .Your collecting interest may change in the future and might then have to take a loss ,should you sell it. There are plenty coins to choose from ,unless its a scarce one and better to have ones your happy with. If you are happy though it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks -

No need to be sorry i was only joking.......Good book though and definately a good buy. Hat off Mike for finding it in Australia

You lost for words

Thats just it Rob its crap and wrongly attributed ,he does list a lot wrong and wonder if he just has a guess or does it on purpose.

They are not bothered about the experts just selling them to the masses and new collectors , will only get better in time just like everything else that is faked or copied.
-
I believe he goes to most shows and auctions ,so hat off to him as obviously keeps busy A dealer was telling me he used to just buy foreign ,but when he saw how much some other coins were going for started looking at everything.
-
In fairness to the seller Mike ,when i bought one from him i did send a message asking the same as the coin was a few quid.Although i could not understand his reply he did send it Special delivery and i did receive it the day after .
-
I have only bought one Mike and was quite surprised when it arrived..........I must of paid to much for it
-
Probably be up for sale again next week Mike with his other account....Seller who drives me nuts . For that reason i would not be sure the final amount will be genuine.

Old Time Dealers-Reminising
PWA 1967 replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Talking of old dealers has anyone heard of Alan Laycock from Yorkshire i think ? A mate of mine in Spain asked me about him a couple of days ago as he had read a book by him. Pete.
