PWA 1967

No Declan recut numbers / letters and ones double struck are common in the Copper pennies. Overdates are more sought after such as 1848/6 1854/3 etc. Although if you look at 1848 they are quite scarce NOT over a 6 or 7 If the 1841 is yours there is one with the Bramah 2c F in DEF worth looking for and Colons after REG is much scarcer.

They do a really good job LCA to get so much every three months , considering they are never flexible and already doing the next one.

The category is automatcally set at English hammered were the options are just change to select category and should work Richard ?.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Thats a lot of questions and a really good first post............ sure you will get some answers First one is dont IMO try to clean or buy anything for the next couple of weeks and spend the time reading old threads etc. If you type in the search box top right anything your interested in , its probably been discussed before. Pete.

Yes even his towing eye is probably snide

Sad i only wish more people would come on this forum before spending there money. Some will stop collecting when they find out that some are crap and may of spent a good few quid. The sellers though really get on my nerves with there blatant bol"""ks.

I think the seller will be more than happy

Not knowing anything about these i have been looking with interest. Martins post above is the best indicator i would of thought as not any doubt. I of DEI to bead........Looks to be spot on if OBV 1 is to gap Also the + Nick mentions although again would need to see the other OBV. Ideally be nice to see two coins pictured the same size next to each other......but obviously different OBV .

Yes.....I think on that side i am probably passed any help Hope your dad recovers quickly from the op Jerry Dont be joking Terry........We need to start training for it and just putting my trainers on , will be at your house in an hour Yes good timing Richard although i am still sore from the scarring its nice to know it will calm down and i am keen to move forward now. Thanks all Pete

What a year.....well nearly After nearly twelve months of being inside and hardly going out ,regular infusions ,tablets of which some weeks i was having twenty four a day ,cameras,biopsies and more blood taken out than i thought i had. I have just got the all clear...............BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Now back to getting fighting fit again Thank you to the forum for helping to keep my sanity

If i wanted one that much i definately would not be leaving a bid Makes me think are people who leave bids even viewing or asking someone to have a look at the coin or just buying from a photo ?

I dont think there is any chance of stopping it. It can only happen by leaving a bid of which you just have to take it on the chin Its a case of go to the auction,bid live on the internet /phone ,use a dealer or as i have a forum member. Most auctions you can bid live (as in the above) so i dont see any reason to leave a bid and how do you know you were not bid up. Yes you may ask someone to go to your maximum and not get it as your maximum was matched but atleast you know exactly. If you leave a bid and dont get it.......its only a coin.

Why was some of the best music during the rave years absolute quality even though there are no words. I have just been listening to Clock.......Holding on...... for ten minutes and still gets my head nodding and jaw going Although maybe its just me who is daft and never grown up.

Do you know what price the bidding started at live ?. i.e. You left a bid of £500.Auctioneer starts at your bid of £430 against £450 your bid £480 against £500.

Top Tune........................

Sorry i didnt realise was just looking at the two reverses

They are in the David Groom book Silver varieties Zoo.

Looking at cgs Rev A they have done... 20. Rev B... 3 in the proofs Rev A.....10 Rev B 7....in currency.

The 1888 missing serrifs is not scarce infact there is probably nearly as many without as there are with. The slight difference in your own coin is the second I and i doubt anyone would be interested in that as its such a tiny difference. Overall its a 1888 Penny thats been graded 82 which i am sure will be nice. 1888 Penny problem free high grade with good lustre for £90 was a fantastic buy......Hat Off

Also Nicks indicator second I in shillings. Hat Off Zoo and get it sold

Glad your happy with them Mick. The coins you bought and sent were for your own reasons and came back at the grades / varieties and problem free. Getting another opinion rather than just putting them away will not do any harm. The actual value is IMO not as important as you probably wont be selling it and adding to your collection / interest in the year.Some prices though for certain pennies are cheap and i would be happy buying them already slabbed and pay full price as i am keeping a constant check on prices through auctions,dealers lists etc.One penny i would if the coins appeared right buy a hundred cgs of one year in UNC today .Obviously some will be expensive and this is all relevant to buy the coin not the slab /price (which is what your doing right) or weather the coin is worth even sending although £15 is not much to pay.You will see even more so now everybody does not have access to there website coins being sold alot more than the cgs price a recent example being a penny cgs price was £375 less than it sold for in auction and was attributed correctly. The prices are also updated as more come available the price may well come down alternatively if auction prices increase or coins are hard to find they may well go up. All good fun Your buying nice coins and Hat Off to you. Lastly the 1888 penny you bought i doubt cost you so much Pete.

I remember reading an old thread on here Bob with interest

Before Bob tells you Mike should he wish to as its someone elses coin now Be interested in what you think it sold for .........Have a guess

Yes come on Dave lets have one......Seem to remember one months ago will make a change from the CD i have had on alday.
