Have you been a Numisbid winner today?

[ausproofs]

I would agree that all od those are reds Trout
i'm talking about the current coins in numisbid

Robbiegal:-

Could you go back to Numisbid and have a look at the 64m MS65RD Lot119 and have a gander of the obverse.
Tell me what you think if you would.

The yellowish colour coming through my screen suggests the coins are receiving a little bit of stray overhead Warm White flouro leakage, I've done it myself.

the melbournes should always be a knock out red - it is the Perth's that are tricky

that almost looks like some sort of a die clash - one of which I have never seen before
unless it is a type od reflection Fordie - there is something as well at the back of the queens head
I am very surprised that coin is a MS65

Two of the coins are mine (hopefully not for too long), One is definitely very red (for me at least), the other is also red, but not bright as the first one. They are in older holders.

I have added edits to my post Aus

I am not 'picking' on anyone
I am simply commenting on the photos that I am looking at and trying to ascertain what PCGS describe as red

as you all know I have hundreds (no - thousands) of 1964 pennies and my personal challenge has been to find reds in the perth series

it is just disappointing if I see coins that I'd think would not make the designation in the slabs
and they are terribly hard to photograph in the slabs

No worries RG, Absolutely no problems at all.. At the end of the day we all love what we do... Its a hobby, you dont have to change anything in the posts. If something needs to be said, it should come out the way it is meant. As a side note there are some ink marks on the coins as you may have seen...

[robbiegal]

Aus I just added the links to the coins to my original post and fixed up a typo

this coins was given red brown


this is all that I could copy of the RED coin on numisbid and if that isn't red brown I will eat my gardening hat!!

[ausproofs]

Cheers, RG.

BTW my coins are not the Perth once. My two coins are M. May have got my wires crossed...

Also your coin looks Red, Unless I am seeing otherwise.

ha ha
no I doubt i'd ever grizzle about a Melbourne 1964 mate
they come in the most beautiful gold reds, red reds - every colour known to the human eye

the perth is tricky as they (in my opinion)  have about a 98.9% toning rate so a true RED is the holey grail for myself & I don't just buy rolls to fast track the process. I find them in lots, dealers books and the like . It makes it a challenge! But I am being superseded by people who get the rolls and post haste the whole flaming lot  to pcgs.

I'd be curious if that coin pictured from numisbid was graded in the USA or the new outlet in Hong Kong - I am curious if the graders are different or something. Maybe as fordie said that coin shave toned in the slab but mine that were graded in 2011 certainly haven't

hahaha..

I think the coins graded in HK has a different cert numbers ie 800xxxxx vs 309xxxxx ... You can check that by clicking the PCGS logo found below the coin information in numisbid.

[robbiegal]

oh ta

I will stop grizzling now!!

just that the red designation can double (or more) the sale value for a coin so it erked me

ho hum perhaps I need to get a life .... a new one!! ha ha

[trout]

This 1964 Perth half penny is in an older type slab and is graded MS64RD :ok:

[robbiegal]

yeah
and i'd reckon it's red too
the tone is even - has carbon flecks
but overall it would be 95% original mint red
that salmon red is still original red
this one got a red designation


this one got red brown - now I reckon it has less colour variations than the one I posted the part pics of
I am just a little frustrated at what constitutes the red designation with pcgs
I thought that toning striations precludes a RED designation - that is all

[ausjack]

I noted it's only MS coins that get a colour as AU don't. Oh and proof, unless it's from the unnamed aussie lot that didn't put colours on proof and I found that very odd, but then again not really knowing what they're like :dash1: :winkextra:

There were plenty of top grade coins sold for a bargain price during the numisbid auction yesterday.. Any winners ? I managed to get a 1943 S 3D and a 1961 6D...

I missed out on that PL63 Canberra Florin due to work commitments  :cray: I only had a $750 proxy  bid on and couldn't  log on for the live bidding , Bugger :dash1:

[kchan1111]

I got the 1943-S Shilling, graded equal best at MS65.

:wavemulticolor:

[trout]

Do NOT bid on this item Please.
I made a stupid mistake and had this graded with some other incused coins, This is a NORMAL Millennium coin.
I have asked Walter to remove the listing and dump the coin, Just in case it doesn't get removed the forwarned is forarmed :ok:
