It's probably my favourite genre of music (that's if i even have a clear fave!). Yes England was a hotbed of synth pop back then; Human League,...
You sound as bad as me here! :D I've just left the 80's synth pop mode and i'm now currently reliving the early 90s (a decade i was not too...
I quite like them but i always had a softer spot for the Franklins. But Washingtons are my favourite.
Which is somewhat cheaper than the home market which comes as no surprise really. The 1961 penny would be worth about UNC $2 in the UK.
2 = 10F of France 7 & 8 = Sound like a British halfpennies 9 = That Britannia (she's a she) and that's a GB penny 10 = Is a GB 10p (is it...
What happens is you get a 'flat' lustre. Compare a naturally shiny coin and you get a lustre with depth to it, it's kinda 3D, it's hard to...
Yeah it's the scratches that count though... the more scratches a coin has in general terms the less it's worth.
It's about as bad as you can imagine. Cleaned coins often struggle to sell at even 10% of the uncleaned value. (Infact they'll probably sell only...
I'm thinking the same as GD here... broad strikes are known in the penny series but i've not come across one for 1937.
Do you have any SLQ's going spare Jimmy? i've just found a $50 bill! ;-)
And here was me chucking my meagre... $43.75 worth in a glass Jar!
I'm right there with yer GD, i collect purely for my own pleasure, i am not in it for a profit, if i was i'd be upset now. I often pay more than...
Grading; right best way for those Brit coins. (You've probably got the Spinks guideline, what use it is :rolleyes: ), the way to go is use the...
Look at the Lions for F to VF, harp VF to EF. Looks like the harp is higher relief to me. (I think it is actually). The thing with grading is...
Hmm the Jubilee one is kind between two grades, i think it's between GF and AVF, i would hasve said AVF, but if you look on the reverse at the...
That's exactly how you learn how to grade... see what it looks like in UNC and work you're way back, now maybe you can see why i said GF to the...
Because the 1787 was not a strong one... the hair was virtually worn away, once you've seen a high grade one you'll know what i mean... It...
Well i'm working on two sets at the minute... slowly. A date/variety run of 1674-1787 sixpences in the best grades i can afford i don't like...
I'm happy! :D
Here it is... VF come GVF. VF in scan, A-GVF in person. Lets call it VF+ :D [IMG] [IMG] I never though i'd get this one anywhere near...
