That's awesome, and I've always wanted a pre decimal penny version of this. Do you take orders?  |

I do but I have about a four month back log right now
I have a couple of Old Pennies cut but I don't know if they will still be in inventory when I get home. I'm offshore mexico for the next month.

Well the wait's not an issue for me and if you do have one pre-cut you want to sell by all means send me some pictures, and we can go from there!  Otherwise let me know your prices and other bits and bobs if you're still taking orders, and I can get a nice penny to you. Do you know if the process would cause any damage to a bronze penny? I'm not sure how it's done, heat, cold etc. |

For a cut penny I normally charge $30 but CCF members get a $5 discount. I am not sure what shipping charges to Spain would be. but I can look it up.

Sounds good to me! The only dealbreaker for me then would be the grade of the penny, as it would have to be Edward VII, but if you don't have anything say VF+ (VF35 - EF40 Sheldon) I can always supply one. It would be even easier to handpick one from an ebay user in USA and just send it directly to you than for me to post one I think. Either way, keep me updated to your availability and when you think you can fit me in just let me know and we can start the ball rolling. I also have a ring already, although mine only shows the details on the outside of the ring, it's good that you got detail on the inside too |

Pick a coin with such a short series why don't you lol.. I'll see what I have when I return home. I'll send pics but I don't thin I have anything above F unless we are looking at AU or higher and I'm a little loathed to cut a coin that has collector value. I'll PM you when I get back to the States and we can go from there.

:P
Ok, I wouldn't want anything above VF+ cut up anyway, because it would just cost me too much! I would just prefer a strong strike on the obverse because that would be the area I would want cut out.
I'll wait for your email, thanks!
