    OK last post on this for now.

    What a wild ride - makes the last Heritage auction pale in comparison (with all due respect, because that too was a great auction). This collection is about as complete a date set as one would expect to find, with much of it in gem condition. It'll take me weeks to target two-three lots, but that is all I will likely pursue.

    They really pissed me off with THIS LOT. image

    How do they expect me to bid? I would rather they have separate lots for each token instead of one big lot of 371.

    There are a lot of lots set up that way, but even that one is pretty extreme. $15k+juice??

    Please, remember Mr. Eureka's immortal quote, ".....savings are repugnant......". The Darkside forbades you to die with even a new pence of spendable currency; only tanners and bobs should be your final portion.....preferably gemmie ones, and in your case, blue coppers and bronzes.....imageimageimage

    Cosmic!! Two words.....BANK LOAN!! Now is the time for you to hang out your 'Conder shingle'.

    First wow.
    WOW.

    Wybrit, if that 1860 farthing had a reverse that matched the obverse - I would think of Mortgaging my house!
    It's defiantly the proof version, will CC buy it? Only if the price is right.

    The farthings are very well catalogued - and described. My main beef is the claim that Peck says that Queen
    Anne farthings were released into circulation - he says the opposite.

    Not sure what if any to bid on. My main problem is determining the colour of some of the copper. To me a lot
    these don't seem to have a 'copper' colour. Unfortunately I am red/green colourblind - so I need some help.

    One of the 1/2ds - 1717 came from the Nicholson collection, CC still has the photos on his site - I think I have
    picked the right one.

    Compare and contrast:-

    Cheshire collection- "Lovely dark-chocolate surfaces with glossy brown luster --NGC graded MS-63 Brown"

    Dr. Nicholson - via Colin Cooke - "Good Extremely Fine, with considerable lustre"

    Teg, that looks like the same coin to me, for whatever that's worth.

    If I were it would be the biggest SSP in the history of CU, eh?

    I'm not buying your "wee mousie" line anymore, Mac!!

    You're just keeping the best stuff to sell later, that's all!

    You opened up your rolls of coins and had a few of the "end" pieces slabbed, just to give all of us dogs a taste!

    How else did you know so much about the auctions, months before they were started up, eh??

    So how many more 1893JH 6ds do you have? There's only an MS61 out there now. Any gems? You do know they were only worth £60 in 1967, don't you? You crafty one....

    You know, I've upgraded a few of those Cheshire coppers I purchased last year......image

    If I recall, one of them has a distinctly blue tone to it.......a wee farthing, methinks. imageimage


    Now, if some bloody devil hadn't been so greedy aboot that cherry red, blazing 1870 penny my life would be near complete.image

    Ah, I could go on and on, but the clock strikes a new day and I must fluff my nest for some wee rest.......cheers - slan go foill.

    There were some very nice coppers - a surprising number did not sell. I picked up a farthing a few months after the sale ended - my only 'slabbed' coin 1734 G. Britain 1/4P Cheshire Coll MS 64 BN (NGC). I have kept it in its slab - just for novelty value.

    Is it true that this was not really a collection? More an accumulation by a dealer - put together quite quickly to make a sale event.
    If so I wonder how well he did?
