Some Lovely Coins From An Aus Seller!

[Coinery 1,156]

Can I ask opinions! I really like this coin 151075231699

The seller says it's darker still than the images! Do you think AU with old highspots overtoned, or genuine UNC? I'm looking particularly at the reverse St George, harp breasts, ribbons, etc. and thinking AU???

What say you?

Worth looking at 'other items' too!

Cheers, Paulus...there's a fair bit in there you'd like I reckon!

Me too. For example he has a simply gorgeous 1806 penny : priced as a Proof; looks like a Proof; but strangely not described as a Proof.

Certainly their prices are reasonable

Just a trace of rub on the bottom half of the reverse to my eyes.

Thanks, Rob!

Not a bad bit, best seen in hand as usual. I was not overly impressed by their other offerings however.

[Peter 615]

I've had a good look and some interesting coins there.

Worth another look.

Peck 1350, a Taylor restrike (R97). Common, so wait until one comes along without the lamination flaw in the obverse field.

I do think the quality to be above the usual offerings seen on eBay...a number of which could be described as having collectors tone!

Whilst I have a better Liz martlet groat, I thought the price of the one offered was really good value. I've sold lesser E1 groats on .99p starts that have made more!

So what about that HC, only Rob has commented?

Edit: and VS of course...grade anyone? AU?

OK then, I'll add a bit more. Definitely (IMO obviously) not a stellar example. Darker than most to be sure and the price maybe 20% high. There are some cheek friction points and other bag handling stigma. Honestly I would skip it.

It does serve the counterpoint to all those specimens mercilessly dipped. Seen entirely too much of that - _ohn _elsh famous for it but even _ark _assmu__en on occasion….

[Coinery 1,156]

Thanks VS, appreciate your opinion on it!

[azda 979]

I think the toning of it would put be me off, a little too dark, although saying that, you then know its not been dipped. I also noticed the rubbing on the George and Dragon between the date but if you Look at a couple of others he has, they also have rubbing in the same spot. The 20% that Vicky mentioned is to obviously cover fees on ebay

Cheers, Azda! I've got a real thing for the OH coins at the moment! I'd like to 'gather' the entire denomination set! The Crowns' will be financially interesting! However, I can still keep a slow interest with the cheaper denominations. Poor old farthings and Maundy here we come!

He dös have 1 or 2 decent Crowns in there, i've seen a lot worse.

I'd noticed this penny earlier but been put off by the flaw… shame, it's nice otherwise.

I was waiting!

Edit: I do like farthings, of course, just received these, which I bought for the '33 111238774881

1901 for bronze; 1893 for most denominations including crowns, or 1901 for smaller silver.
