PWA 1967

HAT OFF Jerry some fantastic buys and makes all the time spent looking worthwhile

Hi Mather. I thought £200 was a bit steep maybe but £450 Good luck. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1860-Penny-F10-Obverse-2-Reverse-D-Unc/292527105992?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D51001%26meid%3D5517efaad42145a099c515fda88694a8%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D123083187431%26itm%3D292527105992&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ad3232cf7-421e-11e8-a11d-74dbd18082c3%7Cparentrq%3Ad2dc5acf1620a86644369bfaffffa1d5%7Ciid%3A1

I think the seller knew it was a fake ,going of the way he described it and rediscovered it Maybe i am wrong but all looks towards him touting it on here and never posted since.

Not having a clue how did they describe a proof before 2003.......I assume just proof. This Cameo description is being used on coins from 1937 proof sets as an example of which there are plenty to choose from. I only used VIP as ones that should appear nice and like early strikes have more eye appeal.

So are you saying there is Cameo Rob as i would probably expect early strikes or VIP to look much better ?. This is a term being used on everything from what i can see even common years. Sorry i had to answer the door in between my post and you had already really answered the question

When this was first brought up i asked a couple of dealers as weather there was such a thing as Cameo BRONZE PENNIES.. They both replied in there own way. "i dont think so ,some are nicer proofs than others and i just think is was something started by American grading companies" "Is there FU$%" I havent bothered looking at pictures of them since

Not my thing but just taken it out of a cardboard year set ,pity there was not a penny in Looks UNC and lustrous to me (although i dont know about them) and if your not happy just send it back and i will pay return postage. I didnt even realise the 1954 Florin had a premium untill i have just looked at the price for them £28 Posted. Pete.

Yes i agree they started it and obviously some collectors want the label ,so more and more will start to show here in the UK.

Is it them saying it or are they just listing the grading companies attribution ?. Thousands are being graded every week ,so dealers will use this to there advantage and describe what it says on the label. The problem can worsen as dealers also start to use as a grade description on raw coins IMO.

Go on............gifts ,finds or swaps...........................

The guy who posted though even used the ebay pitch...... " recently moved house and rediscovered a tin of old coins i have had since year dot " Really hyped it up

Think mine have been open two long or i need to change my glasses. Time to close them for a few hours

Looking again Kev if its 1916 i am now doubting weather it is...this is what i was trying to say on the other thread that the ear is easier in hand or pictured next to another to compare. Normally the tooth on the 1916 you can tell at a glance. Nobody has corrected me YET so interested to know

Yes looking at the full obverse picture it does not look as noticable as most 1916 .

The thread is 18 months old Mark and he only posted once

Yes Richard as i mentioned there are others i suppose for everything we all look at different indicators first. The recessed ear Kev as its only just broken is it 1915 ?.

Thats no use i dont drink.....will just have the drugs instead

Yes

Forget all the ripples & plume Kev OBV 2 ...Colon close to both A:B between GRA & BRITT OBV i.....Gap to both A:B REV A.... No rim & First i in date to Tooth REV B.....Rim & First 1 in date to gap There are others but they are the ones i use first

Yes 2+B F177

B

I read this thread with interest as found it hard to find a good one 1915 Recessed ear and then like most things two turned up at once.Most of the 1915 tend to be weakly struck which one was although that had better lustre. The one i sent to CGS for Freyas collection has part of the tooth missing(couple of tiny spots but not verd) and as i mentioned in a previous thread find it much easier to tell and be sure. Pete.

I dont know why you quoted me Mike Its not just the expensive ones ,plenty collectors prefer to spend there money on other things and we all buy the common coins at sometime. The dealers who hate them are probably the same people who moan they are not selling anything ,carrying just the expensive ones round hoping to sell one. Pete.

No leave the silly questions up....I do all the time

Yes it was more the prices on a list which surprised me as i did not have a clue , then seeing others being sold. If mine are better than the example i used i might have to charge even more One dealer has them at £69.95 which seem more like ask what they want. They were in sets 1947 ,48,54,56,57,58 & 59 that i know had been put away and if they were Rang i would not of bought them or even dreamt of putting one on here,the pennies and Bronze were BU in other years and think the florins are ok also. As a forum member knows they came with quite a large nice penny collection a few months ago . as asked him if there was anything i should look for in the sets as i didnt have a clue.......although niether did he All good fun and i have learned someting else. Pete.
