Maundy coins

[trout]

I have been informed by Iswright ln Adelaide that there will be NO refund because I removed the coins from their shitty 2x2's.
I wish that I had not have trusted this mob and paid via bank transfer,  If I had paid via PayPal it would be a whole different story.
Not at all happy with this mob, looks like they are showing their true colours after selling me overgraded coins with issues.

well looks like you have got yourself another nice set today as well.
hum wonder who the well known dealer is?

Yes that set of Mark looks rather nice

I would rather Not say who i got the cleaned set from as I haven't had a problem before
with these people and I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they just made a mistake
with these.
I will see what happens when I send them back for a refund :ok:

ok I was just curious that is all

[trout]

I finally worked out to do the side by side thingy, Here are the 1906 coins again
Grading comments on these would be appreciated before I send the to PCGS :good:








My new 1901 set, Pretty happy with these

Mate, If you ever see one of these coins "in hand" you will know exactly why I have started to collect them

[trout]

I won these on eBay in the "Wee hours" this morning on a proxy bid that I had forgotten about, could be a "Pig in a Poke" or they could be rather nice.
I don't have the 1904 set yet so I thought they were worth a look.
The sellers feedback on these sets is pretty good as well.
I will post images of them when they arrive in 2-3 weeks from the UK :ok:

Now these are going to be very interesting to see your pic's mate as i think they'll look better in hand, well they'd wanna because they're pretty crappy pic's.

These are my newest acquisitions.
These will add "Depth" to the 1902-1910 sets I am compiling at the moment :yahoo:
The highest grades at PCGS for these are
1d 63
2d 64
3d 64
4d 64
These are right up there with these and will complement the PL set I have at the moment

Images complements of Markn and PP, I doubt that I will be able to produce better images but I will try when I get them "In Hand: :ok:




I am thinking that the 6d 1/- 2/- and Crown that are in Markns type set are the rest of the coins from this "Short Set" as they look like matte proofs?
This is his registry set, Some absolutely stunning coins in this :drooling:

No, my coins are circulation strikes.  The matte proofs are quite distinctive and mostly look very much like the coins you've just bought.

Bloody nice set Mark :drooling: :good:

Thanks PP.
I read that article before and was what made me decide to buy this particular set.
These are a totally different set to the PL set I already have and PCGS recognise them as being different as well.
I will be sending these off to PCGS but I don't expect them to grade super high due to the way these were produced and handled.
A interesting  bit of "History" with these and they will look rather nice in their new slabs and the fancy new box I am getting to store them in :good:

No worries, I have had a really good look at these Matte Proof and yours don't look anything like them :ok: and congratulations on your new ranking of #1 Well Done Mate :yahoo:

I have just had a good look at the PCGS pop reports for the 1902 Matte Proof coins.
I found it interesting to note that only three denominations of the coins out of 13 different coins that make up the long set graded made it to PR65 they are the 6d, 2/- and the Crown.
All the rest top graded at PR64 except the 1d and the 2d which only made PR63.
Looking at the images provided it also looked like to me that  the lower graded coins ( PR61-63) had some attempt to remove the "Rub" marks inherent on these particular coins :dodgy:

What an interesting set of coins these are and I would Love to be able to afford a Long set of these.
They may be the "Ugly Duckling" of the 1902-1910 Edward coins But they are quite  unusual and Unique  therefore "Desirable" as far as I am concerned :good:

Some new additions, Thanks to Mark and PP

Not certain if this is a Maundy coin but it looks like one.

It certainly doesn't look like the circulating type: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2840.html
