Yes, very nice there Sir. I have a couple of silvers I got cheap from the 1890s that I will try to post soon.
Aha, Lord M, you hit it on the head. If you look closely, and it is hard to see on this one, it is struck over a 1953 SIXPENCE! Kind of like a...
I ran across this coin about 18-20 years ago and like it all the more with the passage of time. It is an essai strike in gold of the silver crown....
This coin has a bit of a trick as it were, see if you can guess - hint: look closely [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I so agree; too bad we couldn't have kept a "Young Head" version of QE II for 60+ years....
This is a coin I have on and off wondered about for some years and is listed as essentially an "ordinary" NCLT crown in the IOM series. It is the...
Later coins were measured at 95.5% copper with some alloy. I don't know but would imagine that there would be similar copper percentage in this...

Yea, they are not beauties and that is for sure. Some are quite scarce in top condition and underrated is the 1894. I have an AU58 that looks...
OK, I confess that I think I know the difference but don't like as you've gathered the "VIP" term or the price differential.
I have wrestled with this topic for many years and confess to not having the answer & largely given up. However, the topic was brought to the fore...
Probably not too much different depending on the strength of any one of them as they would be just mild acidic....
Ah, simple is good. Very nice result there!
Will you share your secrets, or is this proprietary? And what is the accretion?
Been trying to get one of the 1969 Biafra 6 pence & not too many around at all, the couple I have seen have been handled & wiped, etc. The actual...
No, not IMHO enough value. Also most collectors like the original packaging including the box and certificate of authenticity (COA) if possible....
Yes, I agree and that is why I tried to state in that way. His are (P) proof and the set appear (U) prooflike uncirculated.
You still have to have connections IMHO. Was the Korean submitter a large dealer by any chance?
