Title: 1934 6D
Post by: ausproofs on September 14, 2015, 08:42:33 AM

The Obverse looks MS But The Reverse looks to have some Wear on the high points, This could also be due to a weak strike .
I'm not 100% sure on this one But from your images I'll call this at AU55-58 depending on the amount of remaining Lustre :ok:
What a great looking coin :yahoo:

agree with trout and the star look a little flat and also think you should just hand it over AP :laugh2: it's a nice coin mate, well done :good:

Bit of a weak strike reverse.
I cant see any wear.
MS62 or 63.

I don't see any wear on the high points of the animals or George and lustre is impossible to id on a scan. I would say ms but deciding what number between 61-65 would require either better pics or the coin in hand
interested in price as it looks like a nice coin.

Hi Guys,  

I paid $442 all up...
Title: RE: 1934 6D
Post by: serial on September 14, 2015, 10:56:22 AM
I would have spent that
now another $60 odd to get it graded you should be good

Is there contact on the high points of the roo as well as the emu feathers from maybe cabinet friction, or just could be reflection of light making it look that way. I think the weak star is die wear / fill.

Thank you Guys ! Appreciate your feedback. If this coin makes MS62 I will be very happy, MS 63 would be a bonus...

Cool, If there is lustre on the "Worn" areas on the reverse it will definitely go at least MS62.
A coupe of images showing that would be great :ok:

I can't see any reason why this coin wont hit MS63 or MS64 . Not a lot of wear
or detracting marks although the images aren't good enough to pick up any hairlines
but good luck AUS

Thanks Stevo, if it comes back MS64 that's a winner ! Even at MS63 I will be very happy. When I get the coin, I will not post some photos... Thanks :yahoo:

Thats the risk of buying coins off an image.. Anyway lest see what others have to say... As you said, there are some lines on the coin. If this coins does turn out to be a cleaned coin, I will stick to my slabbed coins. :dodgy: no more raw coins for me.

There is Always an element of risk when buying raw coins on the net.
That is probably why the ones in slabs command a premium :ok:
Do you have the option of returning the coin for a refund ??

No, not really mate. I bought it from an auction site. I will read the terms and conditions. But I dont fancy my chances.

I would send them an email and ask for a return.
My experience is that the big auction houses will accept returns for relatively low value items.

Thank you, I will try that and see... I read the T&C's ... It says no returns. However worth a phone call or an email. I will let you know how I go. Thank you for your reply.

That's what I like about Numisbid , there is a return policy.
I have bought many a coin from this site and have never felt the need to do a return, But it is nice to know that the option is there :good:

Couldnt agree with you more. I have bought many coins from Walter as well. Never returned a coin... did not need to. Every time the description was accurate and the pictures were not altered ..:wavemulticolor:

I think Walter has "Lifted the Bar" as far as auction sites go.
For Sellers as well as buyers :good:

I think they say no returns for floor bidders as they get to view the coin
postal bidders should be different
worth the phone call

Hi Guys,  

As an update, I have spoken to the auctions house and they are happy for me to send the item back... I am glad with the outcome. Thanks for all you feedback as well...
