    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 .

    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.
  11. Naughty Nigel (Nigel Goldman) i used to see all the time in Spain before i had an interest in coins ,i am sure he had a 1933 penny years ago.

    Are they the ones were the saying "Know your onions" comes from ?.
  16. 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.

    I have a lot of the Joseph moore model pennies Larry including some of the scarcer types ,not the ones as you mention above.They are much harder to find in top grade than people think as were not put away as coins may of been .The models are also covered in a book called simply.... Bimetallic Model Penny (the author is a forum member ).A couple of collectors on here who collect the Lauer and cardboard coins although they very rarely post , now you have started a thread hopefully they will contribute to it Pete.
  19. Welcome to the forum Madhouse. I dont know where you live but probably the best thing to do would be a good coin show. Lots of coins to look at in hand and reputable dealers who can point you in the right direction.One in both Wakefield and Birmingham every month and a big one in York tomorrow and Saturday.

    Boxers punch bag They dont hit you back Jerry and looking at him he couldnt knock the top off a rice pudding. Low life and ebay should ban him straight away.
  21. Thanks Mick......I was beginning to think it didnt happen as nobody had seen one
  22. The first game nerves have gone now.......Time to kick on 4-0................... First Goalscorer...Rashford. Time of first goal...17 / 22 mins. We can only hope
  23. Has anyone ever seen a collection or even one coin that has been damaged or toned unaturally by the cabinet please ?
  24. Thanks Paul ,as i said i have not got a clue but you collecting silver will know.I wonder if thats what it does with all coins.
  25. Thanks Mike for the above reply. I had read that they were not advisable before although not any reason as to why or evidence to back it up.. Has anyone ever noticed or seen this chemical reaction ,does it change the colour in a specific way ?.
