Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?
PWA 1967 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I didnt know were to post so here seemed as good a place as any. In the DNW Hiram Brown there is a penny attributed as a proof F6A ,there is Know lot number but the last one in the preview.Obviously i can only look at the picture and dont buy proofs but is there anything that confirms it as just looks a normal one and seen better currency than that one ? Any help would be appreciated as i have not got a clue. Pete. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/lot.php?auction_id=486&lot_id=1042 -
Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?

Thanks Richard. Yes i have noticed although only been collecting a few years the proofs going up and up.Maybe they have interest to more wide spread coin collectors or penny collectors who have most of the others.I was looking at the crocker and workman sales earlier (varieties) and very few would IMO acheive the same values now. I am just going to go in the cuboard and see if there are any mobiles -

Someone such as yourself Richard who has collected a long time and watched alot more than most ,what do you think. I think Jerry is on the right lines low grade varieties when more are found can end up were there is more than the collectors who are prepared to pay good money for them.Coins that are scarce if found in high grade will always command big prices such as the 1862/1 you bought. I dont think there is more than twenty penny collectors in the country who will pay more than £1K for a low grade variety and without new collectors there is nobody to sell them to as most may already have one. The question is Richard ....What do you think please ?. Pete. -
Phone Heritage up in London maybe if you want to use NGC.

No i think your getting mistaken with the cheaper one. The British bronze penny........Specialised edition ,all the pictures are in colour and a lot more in depth than the one you may be thinking of. If you go on the Michael coins website you will see the picture and description £50. Pete.

The Gouby penny book for anyone looking at pennies is definately one to consider if not a must have. Probably most of the ones you are looking at have been studied by all the people who contributed to it ,so although your opinion may differ it has just about everything that has been found up untill it was published.The £50 may be well spent and i would definately recommend it before buying a coin.

I have not got it to hand but Satin from memory has about seven or eight varieties (i think) of 1865/3. Definately quite a few I never thought to look in Gouby maybe not seven and gouby has five .

They have always been good each time i have bought from them ,so nice to give someone some credit when its due -

Thanks Mike as i did wonder who the collection was being sold by ,you dont see many scarce ones all at once -
That £20 service is only for coins Pre-decimal and as far as passing it on i dont think they photograph it so you could never be sure it was the same coin.

I dont think there is as many penny collectors as we think for the varieties and does not seem many new collectors coming on the forum or from what i am told going to shows. Same auction a scabby 1860 T for £100 that was over £500 a few years ago at LCA ,more turn up and people have one prices come down IMO. I think the F32 went for about £80 i realise it wasnt very good but again i would think a few years ago it would of gone for more than that. -
Sent you a message ,so your aware i am not ignoring you Pete.

If the coin is problem free and the money going to charity especially a kids one dont bother with ebay. I will pay you more than you will get on there or any auction come to that. PM me at any time should you wish to. Pete.
