Test 3 (I'm giving up after this one)

Well i wouldn't pay extra for a lower grade 'celebrity' coin, i'd rather have the less well known BU one.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I would buy a BU coin but I would like it to have a pedigree. You never know, one day our coins may be worth more due to the fact that they have graced our cabinets!

Dream on...

Well, so would I, but I meant if I had two coins of the same grade I would rather have one with a pedigree (tried a new approach with this quoting thing)...

Well done william, also, you might one day become a fellow slanley or Nicholson so don't give up on it!

Yes, my third farthing might be sold for millions in the future, cos it graced the William cabinet (still hasn't come yet Chris, maybe tomorrow...).

Have you ever heard of the Marshall collection that Spink are selling, Mashall is my surname!

The 1903 half penny in BU that I bought from Colin Cooke came today but no one was home when it arrived so I have to go and pick it up tommorrow . I hope it looks good when I do eventually get it!

[william 0]

I hope you do like it!

I just hope that none of my coins ever get lost in the post, especially this one, I'm desperate for it to arrive...

My coins from Mr Cooke were just dropped through the door I think although they were extremely well packaged.

I agree!!

I recieved the coin today from Colin. It's brilliant. One step closer to fulfilling my date run.

I also recieved mine today!

Good, Good. Are you pleased with it?

I find it funny the way he always uses cereal packaging to protect coins in the post.

Very pleased!

I thought so, after all, Chris has an excellent service!

[william 0]

Yes, he does, I particularly like the fact that most of his coins have pictures...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Yes. It's good that he has a picture for most of his coins. I find that most dealers don't bother showing a photo of a coin priced less than £20.00.

[william 0]

Yeah, Colin Cooke only does it for the high grade ones

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I think that's a shame beacuse he would probably get more business with more photo's (not that he isn't doing good at the moment). He even has an I.T specialist amoung his staff.

[Emperor Oli 0]

I don't mind buying without pictures from a reputable site - Cooke and Chris here go into quite a lot of detail with their pictureless coins and I'm not displeased when I receive them!

[Chris Perkins 228]

Thing is chaps, when you've got 100 coins to scan/photograph and you know you'll only get a fiver each for most of them, it can be a drag to scan them all, and it can be tempting to just scan the more expensive ones!

It's pretty labour intensive, so I can understand where Colin is coming from. And he probably has enough established customers that trust his grading enough to by the un illustrated coins, so probably doesn't especially need to make images of them.
