PWA 1967

Dont know if anyone can help me but tried with not much luck elsewhere. I am looking to purchase any lists by John Minshull "The farthing specialist " preferably the actual list , alternatively if anyone has any and wants to keep them scans please. Thank you if you can help. Pete.

Yes ,only a few which is all i wanted. An ebay seller used pictures of one to desribe a coin ,so sent him a message asking if i bought the coin (which i didnt want) could i have the list please 😀

Its good not having a collection anymore as i can buy plenty if they are nice 😀 A common year but not in this grade.

A new one 1858 Large rose. NGC MS62 not attributed and although not the best i have had still a decent one.

No ,its just a mark and nothing raised or another dot there , i can see what you mean though. Sometimes on a picture we can see things (Dots) that we want to be there but are not and just dirt , toning spot , carbon spot ,damage or general marks. Almost as if we want it to be something that often is not and by keep looking convince ourself it is. Well spotted though 👍

This is the coin in Baldwin you mention Peter and has been CLEANED however the SMALL date and much scacer.

A couple of DOT pennies ,seems lots of interest in these now ,probably penny collectors who have everything else. 1861 F26 which i havent seen another one and 1875 BP1875Cd.

A couple i bought at the weekend. 1929 Missing waves and rocks ,clear nice example and hadnt seen one for the year before. 1858 Large rose ,not the best although have seen worse and only £10 not attributed.

F7 although listed as F6.

Well done Jerry and thankyou for being able to confirm what i originally thought but from the photos could not be sure ,even the owner of the coin having a second look wasnt aware 😀

I wasnt sure ,so as it was in an auction sent the link to someone i know. They asked the seller as it was started at about £280 who replied it was a F114 but NOT a 2 over 1 ,so unless the seller did not look closely enough it wasnt one and just a mark showing on the picture.

Just seen this on another group and thought it may be of some interest. Coin-Tickets-Main-List-007.pdf (britnumsoc.org)

I dont understand what your on about Dave ,whats that got to do with Numistacker ? Guy Fie is The coinery and if he chooses to have his wife as a director thats his business and does not need putting on a public forum.

Prax or his mate Gary put the picture on from memory ,although dont think it was theres and just a picture. Be nice to know its genuine and not an edited picture and that it really does exist.

1858 Large rose SMALL date.

A couple of recent rare ones. 1856 SINGLE COLON after REG.

Yes i spent 10 minutes deciding if i should buy it myself and it was only that it was in Australia and was going off a picture i decided not to 😀

Having had a message i maybe didnt explain mine and others thoughts very well ,what i meant is the coin may of been slabbed but broken out as details and not that it was for sale slabbed in the auction. Obviously a maybe and have no evidence to back that up and just a thought ,however the coin did not IMO look in the best condition and unsual not just in this auction (were most of the others were slabbed ) but when a seller knows what they have in America to not put the coin in a slab to confirm its condition ,not just grade.

If it had been slabbed as ok then it would of definately gone higher or atleast more interested bidders before the auction went live ,not just attracting more interest in the US but here also. A couple of people i know were both concerned about the condition of the coin looking at the picture and took that into consideration before the auction went live ,maybe the coin had been slabbed. Hopefully the coin went to a collector who hasnt got one though ,like jerry with the F90 (Hat off) rather than the same people / person possibly bidding the price up or buying others.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313980809514 This coin has been backwards and forwards too and from America enough hopefully. It originally sold in the Workman sale ,then was in Baldwin St.James Paul Hayward sale (unsold £200-300 estimate) ,now back to the uk.

A really nice MS64 RED 1913 F176 from Spink on Wednesday ,not attributed. Interesting that the coin has sold now at least twice by two major auction houses and owned by different vendors ,however nobody has looked to see what type it is.

Its probably more likely to be changes behind the scenes and shares (ownership) that have made changes for the start of a new tax year. Not uncommon for businesses to change directors , name etc. in March / april.

Yes ,its an obverse that has been used before but a lot scarcer and harder to find on the 1970 proof half penny. I bought 20 of the 10p as although the dealer had a bag he opened it to sell them individually.When he told me he still had them all and i bought mine i messaged a few people who bought the others.

You ask about other decimals that are hard to find Eric and this 1970 halfpenny proof is although a variety ,which was mentioned the other week. D to gap i to tooth. The lowest mintage Great britain 50p (not struck in error) is the blue peter 2009 with less than 20,000 minted but they are at upto £250 /300 now.Most of the low mintage and collectable decimals are the territory coins of mainly Gibraltar and the isle of man.The rarest or hardest currency to find being the 1989 isle of man blimp £2 and the last one i saw sell was for £2000.

No ,they are ones wrongly attributed and just obverse 2 i think...................Unless you can find one 😀
