Pattern pieces

I don't usually leave myself open to other potential snipers, but I am at a loss to find a value for these, so I can justify spending more money in pursuit of happiness

Have a look at the Colin Cooke sale.

BMC 1975 was priced at £700 - £900 it made £700.

Good luck - nice coins

Hussulo

Great set. Would be hard to build it from scratch or another one the same. The seller is Micheal Freeman so defiantly a trusted seller. Wish I had the money to bid. Good luck if you do bid.

Neat set, but out of my realm thought they are copper and British

I'll try to get them so I can send them to PCGS and see if they cross higher.

Well I won't have to bother with that problem any longer. Someone else got a great deal.

"Perhaps the graders were unaware that all the early attempts to produce bronze coins display this characteristic as a result of failure of the different metals to mix evenly. They are all virtually as struck and, possibly thanks to being protected in capsules, the finest I have seen, which include those in the main public collections." - M. Freeman


Perhaps, indeed. Unfamiliarity breeds all manner of guesses by the TPGs.
