I know the grades are not high but I think I did OK. Any info appreciated but this is the only scan I have until they arrive. Marbury AH description: STRAITS SETTLEMENTS, Victoria, 20 Cents, 1887 (KM. 12), later 20 Cents (5), 1919-27, 10 Cents (11), 1910-26, 5 Cents (16), 1910-45; together with base metal coins (30), 1862-1950 [63].

marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 01:33 am I know the copper and bronze aren't as sexy as the silver but I picked out these three coins to go along with my next submission to ICCS. They look nice in the hand but less so under the full glare of my high res camera and the dusty printer they sat on. They were picked out of the lot posted above. As I live in the UK I get charged $100 shipping on every submission so need to send a few coins each time. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2879 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 03:25 am $100 for shipping Is ICCS some sort of grading company? I don't know of anyone else here in the UK that really bothers with that - is it expensive?.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 03:39 am I see that there are no Victorian or Edwardian 50 cents in this lot. Perhaps not surprising, they can be a little pricey in VF or better. Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 04:40 am Yes, ICCS is the best grading Co for Canadian and Newfoundland coins, which I am sending but they make sense for such colonial coins too and are far cheaper than NGC/PCGS per coin. there were quite a number of early 20c but grade were poor really. As the cost is only about $10 per coin these straits settlements coins are worth sending in my view. Re UK collectors not bothering with grading, I send coins for grading all the time. If you are selling coins on e-bay it makes sense to grade and it preempts returns and compliants. It also makes sense financially....say you buy a common 1934 Junk dollar for Â£50 in high grade raw from a UK auction house, graded at MS63 they sell for $280 on e-bay. Report this Post to the Staff
