Nons "What crap has he bought this time?" Thread.....

They are sealed from what I understand and you need to use force to get them open. -
This, along with the other CGS/slab threads make an interesting read. As a newbie I can see the attraction of having someone look over your coin and independently grade it hopefulyl validating what you believe its grade is so much so I am considering submitting 3 or 4 of my coins. One of my over riding concerns was not that fact that something may get rejected (I am learning, it will happen) but that it will get rejected and slabbed. If it was made clear on any submission that you did not want any coin rejected to be slabbed would they honour your request?

It's getting there for sure. I need to upgrade a few already and would like some more 1816 to mid Victoria stuff in there when the budget allows. -

So I have not updated this for a while. I have been mainly focusing on Halfcrowns and have added a few to my collection via people off here (thank you Sound, Paulus) coins fairs and the dreaded ebay. The link is in my signature takes you to my site but his is the link straight to my Halfcrowns as it stands. I would welcome any feedback, I know not all coins there are EF+ but some have them have been purchased at very good prices in my opinion for the grades that they are. -
Very sorry to hear that, words cannot express how you must be feeling right now. My condolences to you and your family.

I only recently started collecting Dan but am finding the hobby a real pleasure. I am trying to focus on Halfcrowns but as you saw on my penny post I keep getting distracted The people here are in the main helpful, everyone I have spoken directly to has been happy to reply, comment and offer advice.

Thanks guys, Jamie is on the case with it, I have seen via one of his facebook posts that his has contacted the seller.

I agree but the way it read was that they Quadrums were in stock here. I had previosuly checked, saw they were not here and ordered elsewhere. I, wrongly, took your post as an indication that Chris now stocked the Quadrums.

Has someone got the link to the Quadrums on here then please as I cannot find them. Thanks

Thanks for the feedbqck. All I am using is a 6 mega pixel camera on a tripod with macro setting turned on. I light it with a halogen desk lamp shining across the coin from about 2/3 o'clock as well as the main lights in the room. I really want to get some pictures done in natural day light. -

Latest addition, I think aEF to EF. Certainly by grading book its EF but maybe a bit too much wear on the curls on his forehead. -
The second effort, it brings the coin to life showing the various tones.

Wow, like night a day, what a difference!

The feedback was: It's not assayed but any raw material that is used bullion coins or silver crystals. It's my reputation that holds it, and I challenge anyone to get any piece of my work assayed. It costs £24 plus postage to assay each item. -

The black foam in the Quadrum capsules actually makes a decent background:

Alas no, just stamped by his foundry OSB and the silver content. He is actually building up a nice little business via facebook. I have asked for his feedback on assayed and here is few a pics of the sort of stuff he does with scrap. -

If you have a lot of bullion scrap and want to melt it down and have it recast into bars etc I can recommend a friend off facebook who does exactly that with scrap Silver. Obviously he charges for the service but if you would prefer bars over bags/boxes of scrap it may be worth considering.
