Sent a group off to NGC. Am expecting a second submission next week. A mix bag of things:

GB 1911 3p bodybagged 'Polish'. No way, coin is proof.
GB 1887 Double Florin bodybagged 'stained' It seems NGC is drumming up business for NCS. 'Stained'??? what the heck is that???

GB 1889 1/2 Crown MS62
GB 1911 1/2 Crown PF64
GB 1887 3p MS63 bought as a Proof.
GB 1758 Shilling XF40
Eng. Henry V Groat S-1764 F15, bought as VF from HJB. NGC can be tough on some hammered coins.

GB 1799 1/2d MS64 RB
GB 1799 1/2d MS64 RB ( bought from Colin Cooke)
Australia 1927 Florin "Parliament House' KM-31 MS63 Nice toning, I thought '64'.
E. Africa 1936KN 5c MS65 RD cheapo coin, just wondered the grade

Prussia 1912A 3M PF64 Cameo. ex-lordmarcovan

I'm kinda bummed with the BBs and the 1887 3d going MS, not PF.

An Edward VIII coin

Sympathy for the BB's

I like the sound of the 1911 half crown PF64 though. Are these keepers or sellers?

GRRR on the BBs Sorry to hear that Don

That Prussian coin looks good to me. Better than PF64

Dr. J,
The hammered coin is for my collection. The others are sellers.

Too basd on the BBs

You can send me the Prussia 1912A 3M PF64 Cameo. ex-lordmarcovan

spinaker2000 · May 6, 2004 9:27AM

sorry abt the BB's there Don. Ouch on the PR going MS!!

coinkat · May 6, 2004 10:38AM

I am sorry that some obvious mistakes were made.

wybrit · May 6, 2004 10:43AM

I too am sorry to hear about the BBs. Was the 1887 MS a 3d or a shilling? I was a wee bit confused there.

ajaan · May 6, 2004 10:46AM

The 1887 is a 3d. Thanks I didn't notice that. Changed now.

oldshep · May 6, 2004 11:08AM

Sorry about the BB's but it looks like you still have a good bunch of coins there.

I know the 1758 shilling is the most common of the George II old head dates... do you feel it was graded correctly Ajaan? I ask because this series seems to be graded rather tightly... I like this series and look for high circ examples.

ajaan · May 6, 2004 11:21AM

'kat, correctly graded.

Shame about the BB's. Just a thought but that Henry V groat would be a real nice giveaway.

Aethelred · May 6, 2004 2:24PM

I am sorry about the harsh treatment from NGC. It would be interesting to see what PCGS would think about a few of these.

Python, ah . . . . . .

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious to see the 87 3d myself. If its proof, I'm surprised they didnt go the maundy route.

Quick scans of the 3d. Really nice toning on the coin.

wybrit · May 7, 2004 8:38AM

I'm curious to see the 87 3d myself. If its proof, I'm surprised they didnt go the maundy route.

1887 maundys were struck using the young head obverse only.

Avarel · May 7, 2004 12:09PM

The perils of making a statement from work without a Spink in hand I suppose....

Nice colors it looks like on that one Ajaan.

ajaan · May 7, 2004 10:07PM

Here's an attempt at imaging the 1911 Halfcrown in PF64

hmmm . . . how can I make them larger?

ajaan · May 7, 2004 10:18PM

Some halfcrowns

cosmicdebris · May 7, 2004 10:29PM

Nice half crowns

wybrit · May 7, 2004 10:35PM

Nice halfcrowns.

Annoying pop up ads.

The price I must pay for using a free hosting site.

The price I must pay for using a free hosting site.

Not really - it's the price we must pay.

I don't get any pop-up ads from the site. Of course, I have a pop-up blocker enabled in my firewall!
