thedeadpoint Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I love the 1924 centimes. They did a wonderful job embracing the hole in the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 remember those pennys i got above? i got these 2.. that tbh reqire a bit more diggin, it appears on ebay that an 1861 8 over 6 penny has turned up.. and you know what, it looks practially identical to one of my "scrap buns" i got for some research (i like bun pennys i can look for dies on) here is ebay link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...%3D1&_rdc=1 take note of what i mean, the exact date spread (narrow spread, with a slightly slanted 8 and last one is slightly lower) the date part is the most exciting part as they were hand cut onto dies, so die matchups.. dont matter, date spread matchups have some weight. now there is a differance between that 8 and the 8 on mine BUT if you didn't see the zoomed date picture on the ebay photo. now on photo of mine you can't see the small oddity next to the first 1 (shows on ebay one ) and a small lighter area inside the 8 is visible, but to the eye i can see a strangle thing next to the first 1 and nothing in the 8 so. perhaps something to investigate further afterall. furthermore, i have no idea what to make of this.. i have 1863's in various grades so i usualy would ignore this date (no die varietys etc) except for the listed die numbers, open 3's and slender 3's, so there was a reason i got this one... the 3 was something i have never seen before and was worth the small purchase cost just to have a proper look at the 3. which i thought was an open 3, it shows signs of open 3 (middle part of 3 pointing at centre of 6) but the examples i have seen look very close to an oridinary 3 (downward serif on the top of the 3) a slight curve upwards ith the bottom, this has niether, it could be wear but i have an example of an 1863 where the downward serif is nothing more then a thin slightly lower relief blob, so i checked out slender 3.. but i couldn't get a proper look at the 3, it definatly looks differant from normal 3's on the picture but i cant see if it has serif (i think it does) and it curves up more. anyway, help on this one appreciated, i dont think it is a slender 3 but an open 3 is a maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 got some coins this week, got plenty, i'll show a select 2 for now, plenty more to come 1911 halfpenny for £2 not usualy something i dip into are halfpennys, but with pennys way up in price and farthings easy to get, saw this in a bunch of bags at my dealers (i usualy look through for stuff not put out,) found it in a bag, again halfpennys not normally something i go for, but a very nice example for 1911, hard to grade exactly due to striking weakness, but full lustre for £2. i saw this 10 franc on the table the dealer has, having found a 1958 on there for 10p a few months previous (and thats wen i found the 1958 50 franc in the 10p tin) i asked if it was 10p... found out it was a key date off him, he looked it up... then let me have it for £4, bit of a surprise really, due to the 1958's, but 2.2 million mintage its by no means as rare as the 50 franc from 1958 i own, but its by far THE key date in this denomination and i got it for the F price in krause, which of course imo undervalues these coins when in europe (due to ease of access to france, ebay etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Judging by your finds, your dealer has a better bargain bin than mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 yea, people bring in junk.. they get semi-sorted, some get put out others stored away etc. was going through ebay.. stumbled across a 10 franc from 1954 going for over £12 and its lower grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 ok some more stuff i got last week. bargain bin stuff is rediculous... as usual, wont show all but some of my faves first of all.. ebay buys, these cost about £2 each 1738 denga type B but both types are worth the same so no matter a decent bargain.. EF 1945 penny, high grade 1945's are hard to get now the bargain bins ALL 10p (has lustre on reverse faded slighlty) (as above, lustrous, but faded) (now that is toning) (common date and mint combo but... WTF!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 other stuff from dealer got these 2 for 75p all these were £7 in total needed the date 2 pronged trident otherwise i would have left alone nice grade, broken F in F:D nice reverse, slighlty off centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottO Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 finally got my coins up i bought the other week i got a couple of other nice bits that seem to have dissapeared (damned small french coins ) they will turn up in due time sorry bout some being dark, it was evening so light was fading, got the good ones done first though. quite pleased with the dupuis pieces, i did spend a bit more but been after these pieces in high grade for a good while, and they wern't stupid money (in fact they were cheap) but first, i found anice bargain on ebay, i found a listing for 5 H coins, spotted a viccy bun and had a look (not all viccy H coins are worth it in low grade 1976 and 1882 for example) was surpised to see it was 1875 H a very hard coin to get at any point (752,640 minted, and then some were worn to discs some were melted down so the existance rate is lower) add this onto the fact i got a good £2-3 value in the 1912h and the one 1918 H penny in there, thats all i spent.. £2-3 only. not the first time i have found a rare worn bun on ebay like this and hopefully wont be the last. no real point in showing the others, they are like most of the others. i'll show the rest later, once i got them all uploaded as i found som interesting buts in the bags and theygot mixed up amongst some of the 10p's when i was taking photos but for now my 60p pieces and one of the decent 10p how about this for 50p. the plancet does thin out where the wear is so probably an error rather then wear. i spent £1.50 on this massive worn piece of metal known as a 1792 2 sols, looking at it further (researching) it turns out that there were 2 types where legend ends with FRANÇAIS and one with FRANÇOIS, looking at both types this is the FRANÇAIS type strasbourg mint. another 50p buy, madras 10 cash minted by east india company still more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikaros Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yeah, that and the ten centime looks nice too. But man, every time I see Channel Islands coinage, I have to talk myself out of getting involved in those. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 i think those centime designs are fantastic, been after some in a great grade for a while so pleased with them. some more. 10p for 10p this isn't bad, its minted on the planchets for USA 1943 One cents so you can understand how good this buy is, 50p 60p - a coin from the future!!! nah its a 1 rupee from nepal, its 1976 10p - canada doesnt come up often so this is nice both 50p damned camera spoling the reverse - 1922-24 morroco 50 centimes - lovely design. funny shaped egyptian silver 2 piastres 1944. 10p i usualy ignore these now, having most dates and mints (if not all) but the grade was fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottO Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 not updated in a while, have a very nice mix, from the very old, to the rarish, as well as some beauty, oh and more channel islands then you can shake a stick at. this is just a selection as there are a couple of the ebay purchases i missed out as well as more channel islands to post. (all ebay prices are total WITH postage) first one £2.62 off ebay 1897 high tide penny, quite scarce another ebay £1.99 northen sung 1086-1100 again £1.99 with J.BORY on reverse. now some dealer bits £1.50 astounded i got this for that price, i know these are common, but its in a fantastic grade, and has an interesting repunched letter as one was incorrect so possibly a rare jeton. £1 75p 70p 50p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottO Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 ok as i said more £2.24 £5.56 not often i can get silver from the 1700's so pleased with this £3.85 now that is a bargain, worth a few quid more then that and it isnt the worst example, that was one piece of french history i was missing. £5 fills a datespace, and it is about the money 2 more 10p ones another bun head gap filled, crossiet 4, scarcer date but not that scarce wheates with lustre are always worth 10p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
