The verdigris has come off. The edges are knackered. But £9 all-in.

Evening all. I would like to find out the result of St James' Auction 28, 24/6/2014, lot 566. They appear to have a search engine but it is completely beyond my abilities to use it. It's not terribly user friendly. Would someone be kind enough to assist please? Thanks, Jon

Second time lucky.

Penny Acquisition of the week
mrbadexample replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've got that one now. -
I thought the "weak strike" on the reverse was a good effort too.
-
If I can spend it in my local corner shop, it's a coin. Although I'm not sure where they stand on sovereigns.
-
To my mind it's no different to this garbage: https://www.bradford.co.uk/honeybge.html Make it 50p shaped, and people will buy it.

I'd prefer it if you did halfpennies, in similar detail to your pennies. Thanks.

Only the postage but out of pocket is out of pocket...

I've often thought of doing that, but fear someone might actually accept the offer.

Go on Paddy, I bet you don't have any of those!

Think a few (i.e. every single one) might have questionable authenticity, to be polite. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/simo_373/m.html?item=292926649032&hash=item4433c9f2c8%3Ag%3A-Q8AAOSw-ghb9OWs%3Ark%3A31%3Apf%3A0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

So, Brexit....What's happening?
mrbadexample replied to azda's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I think you give them too much credit. I don't think they considered for one moment that we might actually vote to leave. -

20 shilling Regina Florent error?
mrbadexample replied to azda's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Is it not supposed to be REGNA? -
I'm not lining the pockets of the RM for this crap, it's a horrible series. My girlfriend found a J which I promptly snaffled.

Recent Purchace on Ebay 1898 Florin
mrbadexample replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think the obverse photo on ebay is clear enough to indicate the wear, but it's another one of those annoying photos that I can't zoom in on - there seems to be loads of them these days. Is it a function the seller has to physically disable? -
It was probably the free fingerprints that swung it.
-
What were you searching for Pete?
-
Here's a plain trident.
-
Except I forgot to say it was George V so obverse 5 used 1928-1936.
-
I saw penny tooled on the reverse (hence dateless) advertised as WWI trench art. Obverse was Freeman 5...

Because he didn't know your bid. Your bid would have beaten the previous £12, and show £13 as the current bid. So they sniped at £18.50, but this wasn't enough to beat your earlier bid, so you win at £18.50 + 1.
