What do you collect?

I wonder how much I should off the chap for it? The coin has nice contrast between the fields and devices, but does have some hairlines. I suspect it will grade no higher than MS-61 by US standards. Any advice will be most helpful.

In Spink it is "extremely rare", if you do purchase it then you will be a very lucky numismatist indeed, I expect not many collectors have one. Is it abt.FDC-FDC or "PR60-70"

Ext. rare means nothing too much HPJ, i bought an EF 1953 ext. rare 2+A farthing from colin cooke for £8.50 a few weeks (maybe a month) ago, and he already lists another one at the same price!

It is very difficult to give a value because there isn't a value in Spink. I would pay at least £500 up to about £2000 for it. I guess he will ask for about £1000.

i would not offer a price to the dealer Aethelred, ask how much he wants for it, and then make your decision that way :)

The problem is that I am the dealer and he is a collector. I am going to be forced to give the first number!

Do you have any half pennies between 1900 and 1936 in BU condition?

I deal in US coins and I am the buyer at the shop. I do sell some British coins on eBay and my website, but I would not really feel right about trying to sell stuff in Chris' space. ;)

Did you ever persuade the guy at Coinpeople that their Transylvanian Ducat would be more loved in your collection? :D

Not yet :(

But I do have some stuff he wants B)
