The Coinery

Excuse me Vegas - The Queen IS a Bird !!!!!

130 / 8 = 16 and thus 2 x 8 = 16 so its getting even luckier

Will it work if you take a "Second" or a "Minute" to give it a "Hand" or two ? :-)

I am glad you are not bidding as I have my fingers crossed for the Brass 3D's

Thanks Mat. I will be able to view on the morning before the auction. There are about 30 lots I would like. One benefit is I can pay on the day and submit to them for slabbing what I want slabbing without having to worry about posting them.

Where can you view photos of coins in the catalogue without photos ? - There are a few coins I am interested in that don't have pics.

I can always rely on you to advise me Mat. I have been looking for a 1911 Hollow neck for about a month. Remember when I could not find a 1920 florin in high grade - found one at York Coin fair at the FIRST table I looked - KB Coins. I was chuffed. I also found a Matte Proof £5 1902 & and a £5 1902 currency both at MS63. Shame they didnt cost same as the 1920 Florin - LOL

I dont know if this will help but this is a 1911 penny I of BRITT to a tooth

Maybe you will get some snow. Well I must drag my weary bones out of the Man Cave and struggle to work to sit there and look at more coins - Its a hard life

Thanks for that Mat - Appreciated !!! The coin in question is a Quarter Farthing and I was asked the question which you have answered. To give some thing back in return for your advice it is cold, grey and wet here in "Sunny Yorkshire"

Does anyone know if lustre / luster will fade on its own after time. I know that other items, like curtains or paintings, if left in sunlight will fade. I make mattresses and I know for a fact that foam goes a darker brown due to the warehouse lights exactly like a sun tan and you can see the "Strap Lines" on the foam where the foam above it has been like a very pronounced shadow. Coins change due to oil from our fingers so if a coin is untouched and in a cabinet or box which is dark will the lustre fade over time ? Advise Please !

If its the Rooks then it is either a Building or Clamour of Rooks which could be even worse.

You can have a 1/1000 share for that - anyone else what the other 999 shares ?
