  1. Hi,

    thanks for your response,

     

    The pound coin weighs 9.5 grams.

    I will work on some better images..

     

    It does seem to good to be true.

     

    But the fact the wieght is bang on it makes me think it is not counterfeit!

     

    The ten pence, it has any collector value?

     

    Many thanks

  2. Hi,

    Please follow the link to see the images,

     

    http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/LouisX1V/media/british%20error%20coins/3101a281-28c9-495c-aa60-c1664d24ed84_zps5c06f04f.jpg.html

     

    Here is two coins from the uk.

     

    1992 10 pence.

     

    2007 One pound.

     

    Both coins have the correct weight.

     

    The 10 pence looks to have machine doubling? Can someone please confirm that? It affect all the design.

     

    The pound tapers off, thick to thin, alignment out and it shows die flaws / cracks.

     

    The year of 2007 normally has obverse of the Gateshead Bridge

    Edge: Pattern symbolising bridges and pathways. Designed by Edwina Ellis.
    Issued in 2007

     

    So not only is there a thickness error, the edge inscription is incomplete and incorrect.

     

    For this type I cant find any info on a 2007 with the three lions design.

     

    Interesting find or not?

     

    Any value?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

     

     

     

  3. Maybe to your surprise but PCGS slabs are everywhere here in France, even high grade commons are being slabbed.

     

    I think in the last Year or so its really picking up

     

    Here is the vice president of PCGS talking about exactly this.

     

     

    But you only have to look at French ebay to see how many slabs are hanging around.

     

    I have found also though you can acheive 60 - 70 % of Gadourys or lefranc or cgb valuations.

    Without being slabbed. But its the same old story of finding the buyers.

     

    For anyone who doesnt know,

     

    http://www.lefranc.net/

     

    is an impressive open source used in conjunction with http://www.cgb.fr/boutique,modernes.html

     

    you have most of the varietys and types detailed! The cgb website is a powerful open source.

     

    If anyone has any questions about French modern coinage try me. You never know.

     

    Or if anyone is looking for anything specific try me.

     

    For the 1924 50 C I have figured I would never be able to afford the even think about collecting the victor emmanuel iii series.

     

    I just want what its worth, not looking for a quick sale, and the longer I keep it the more and more fond I become.

     

    For example and American coin of the same breed (Rare) If it graded VF would it acheive the valuation at sale.

     

    I appreciate its difficult to say, and also from my images there not the easiest to see clearly, but the coin is in very nice condition.

     

    I payed 0.25 cents euro no joke..

    There must be a healthy following of the victor emmanuel iii series in the states no?

  4. Not worth sending to PCGS? If it grades VF is worth it?

     

    many thanks.

     

    Rigato - (reeded edge) catalogues at €300 in BB (VF), €1,700 in SPL(EF) in GIGANTE 2013

    Liscio - (plain edge) catalogues at €800 in BB (VF), €1,600 in SPL(EF) in GIGANTE 2013

     

    Any ideas what a realistic value would be?

     

    And potentially what it could raise at auction?

     

    Difficult questions there.

  5. Please look closely at the images,

    the 1975 5 cents machine doubling? you may need to zoom in to see clearly, it affects most of the letters in someway.

     

    And the 1960 D 1 cents anything interesting, can anyone please confirm the types and also point out if there is anything of interest in the lot.

     

    Coins of the USA is one thing I have not had a chance to start looking into.

     

    Way to much to many coins to learn about here in Europe

     

    many thanks
