Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2871 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 1:20 pm I attend a couple of local auction houses when I can - and sometimes you get lucky. I think I was lucky last week. So lucky that I've actually scanned the receipt as I suspect most people won't believe me. Ignore the braclet in the centre - that was just a present for sombody. So the following coins I got for £26 plus a few pounds commission. I'll list a few of the pictures - but basicially all the British pennies, half pennies and farthings - plus the Indian Head cents were on the card - all the rest were in the tin.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2871 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 1:30 pm The star of the show odds and sods and misc. rubbishy silver There are a goodly lot more but they are lesser coins. Overall quite a good hall. That Iraq silver coin and one of the Victorian pennies were the stars though. thanks for looking :) My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 1:46 pm Great buys, looks like a great selection of coins. Will we be seeing some for sale on the forum? Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 3:05 pm What coin is that star of the show, is it Saudi Arabian, and why is it the best. Love the Vickies, keep posting pics (: Report this Post to the Staff
satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 5:57 pm Nice pick ups here. Looks like you made you money back easy. Good job. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2871 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 02:28 am No - I didn't pick up any from Saudi Arabia in these lots - The 50 fils from Iraq - just under where I typed "Star of the show" has a high catalogue value (my old Krause suggests $150 in EF). Also the Victorian penny (one up from the bottom in the post that lists them) seems to be in good condition - possibly a hint of luster on the reverse). I don't plan to sell any of them though.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 03:01 am I also noticed the traces of luster on the 1844 1d--could that grade was well as EF? There are a number of overdates for pennies/halfpennies during this time, some with a nice premium too. I would say you did very well for around £26! Report this Post to the Staff
