PWA 1967

Yes your spot on. There will be exceptions and that like varieties is what keeps us interested as if you could find everything easily in a nice grade we would of all got bored and moved on by now. What i meant though was if you want to find something you have thousands of low grade ones to look at but alot less in high grade.The percentage is then stacked in finding a low grade one.You could probably find a couple of hundred of MOST dates today on ebay but the same date in high grade perhaps only a few. One such as Richards (on his site) 1862/1 is a true gem and extremely rare not just variety but grade and again an exception to the rule 😊 Most high grade ones will be in collections and already been checked.The 1864 you use as an example is similar to a variety loads of low grade ones but scarce/rare in EF or better. .With regards finding something such as a new variety and the reason why nobody has found them in the past is that it is much harder to find something if you dont know what your looking for.This is were the forum helps us and sites such as Richards with people good enough to share information and help each other. If you find ten minutes today Mike have a look at 1862 or any common year.......How many EF or better and how many rang tang 😊 Made me remember going to see someone in a macmillan hospital,they had a collection for coins know longer in circulation which was a great big thing.Sitting at the side of it i was thinking what varieties were in it as i doubt they had been checked by the people who were kind enough to almost fill it .I dont think there were any UNC ones though 😊

Yes the meal was £27 including the £2 tip and not plus it. I have heard that one before and did my head right in 😄

If a coin is scarce then to find one in high grade is obviously a lot harder. These are not in toffee Jars like one of the 1877 found but have been kept because of the grade. Scarce varieties in high grade will always command a big premium and are truly RARE.

Maybe for someone who is selling one or not got one 😊 There is plenty of both for collectors to be able to buy one of each today if they want them ,for less than they were selling for two years ago.

This is why the varieties crop up with people looking on the internet and in boxes of low grade coins who maybe never used to bother. You only have to see a new listing for 1862 penny on ebay and it has a few viewers within minutes on every one. Unless you are a penny collector not as many would of looked at rang pennies a couple of years ago ,now more people / dealers look out for things and the reason why three 1877 narrow dates have been found just this year and that is just three that i know of.If a coin is scarce there are a lot more low grade ones to check than BU ,so a dealer may have ten nice ones a year to look at and never bothered with the low grade ones ,the chances of finding a scarce one in ten is pretty slim If there are twenty known today there will never be less and the numbers will continue to go up, for as long as people look.I use twenty as an example as below that they may well have been people looking for years and these are proven to be scarce (RARE). Even ones like 1903 open penny ,1911 Gouby x, two years ago were considered scarce ,i am not saying the buns are going to be found in those numbers but some will continue to be found every year.......even maybe today. As Jerry mentions there are more found than put on the forum and just wish it was me that could find them 😊

It must of stood out as being different for at least two people to bid it so high .

Its the same here ozjohn i think its £80K or about that from memory.

Sorry Peck maybe i am getting confused 😊 Yes Auction houses will be VAT registered and has know relevance to price guides. However what you typed was that Auction houses add VAT to the hammer price plus the premium.

I am not sure about that Peck,when you buy from a public auction unless vat registered and a business you are unable to claim it back.I doubt there would be VAT on Auction purchase as well as premium ,unless it was possibly gold ?

I bet the coin he gives her at the end was Rang. Not seen that for ages and thanks for putting the link up 😊

I wasnt aware of that ,is there any other differences please ?.

Looking at the picture of just the date it looks like an unbarred H to me.

What for 😄

The picture you posted above is of a proof coin and yes the currency is the same although you wont find a currency with so good a strike and fields. The Taylor ones you can spot quite easily as a completely different design to the reverse and yes there are patterns for 1797. Plenty to choose from and maybe take your time 😊

Have you ever had anything delivered by Fedex Mike ,they are a law to themselves .

If your lucky enough to just pay the 5% , a couple of times my final payment with bits and pieces has made the final payment much more. ☹️

What a fantastic collection a hat off for putting them together and quality.I was going to say good luck but dont think you will need it as they will sell themselves 😶

Pete.

No the mixed lot Peck 😄

No......Keep going there is nothing else happening 😄

I think there will be a few sales which also helps with duplicates and possibly better for the seller. If there are four of something as an example better to sell one in four sales maybe. It also may help buyers who have a budget to spend.

Only just got this Peck................Hat Off 😊

Not everyone 😊

Yes £1.00 to much although atleast the buyer cant loose much when he finds out what it is.
