:laughingneqw: Thanks for all your help Belly,i am most grateful & now i can't wait to see them because when you say they are too good they must be extra good,upgrades for sure.:good:

Hi Shane, It was'nt an ebay purchase, it was an online auction in Sydney.

errmmm
on-line auction
that doesn't post?
& $50 a day holding fees

is this a respectable auction house mate??
sorry if it seems like I'm being a hassle but it helps other buyers to be warned as well - as it seems quite unreasonable for an online business
whereas, i do know that many on-site auctions are pay and pick-up on the day or get the hell outta here!! ha ha

anyways, if belly boy doesn't report in soon, we'll have to send out the search party wooloolamoo way or where ever it is .. maybe we should set him up with a GPS location detector before he goes ....

hi robbie all is done , i pickup the lovely coins , they are on there way to accumulator as i type :yahoo:

[accumulator]

Probably just a warning to me ( more than anyone in this case ) & everyone to read all the fine print & term & conditions before jumping in with the bid.
They have auctions in 5 cities Robbie http://www.graysonline.com/  ( i don't think they sell many coins though ) i only checked it out because another collector put a link on CCF & at the end of the day it all worked fine thanks to Belly & from what he's said i'll be  :yahoo::ok::good: when i get them.

[robbiegal]

pleased to hear that our belly boy is home safe
and he has for himself some nice new coins

err for you I mean ..........................

[accumulator]

Arrived today & :wavemulticolor::yahoo::yahoo::drinks::drooling:

I'm a very happy buyer now as you can probably tell from the emoticons i put up,will have to work out a way to repay Belly for his generous & selfless help.

It is nice to see it all worked out.

[robbiegal]

look forward to seeing the photos
ppsst ... belly likes florins

[accumulator]

Ok Robbie, not easy to photograph these bugga's but here ya go.












The threepence obverse shot & a couple of the others don't do the coins justice IMO,the threepence obverse is a stunner in hand.
After 3 days of try all sorts of things i'm sick of it so i'm just posting these pics,sorry.

[robbiegal]

beautiful

yes, i agree that the old non forsted proofs are really hard to photgraph

thanks heaps

great coins

you're damn lucky that belly parted from them with the post man they look like real beauties!!

[bellyflorin]

sorry accumulator if there's any   marks on those coins, they are from my tears as i parceling the up to send to you ,if truth to be told i only had a quick look at those coins without a loupe , what i remember there were few rub marks if any and  sorry to say yep they look better in the hand then your photos :derisive:. not that i could do  better photos lol how good does the florin  look superb .

I'm not a fan of 2x2 holders housing  proofs , i still reckon they can get contact marks through the soft  plastic , personally  i like flips.  but maybe i am just been too anal. :-/  

super score , hehehe i know how much you paid for them too . they were budgie coins cheap cheap cheap

[accumulator]

Yeah,very hard to photograph & the 2x2's make it harder IMO, & yes Belly i agree about the 2x 2' with any coins,i'm in the process of changing everything to saflips,just waiting on a new bundle from TPP ,if i had them on hand they'd already be in saflips.
Any coins i have in 2x2's i put in the 20 pocket sheets to stop any contact marking.
BTW any marks you see if the pics are most likely on the holders,when you look at the coins through a 10x loupe they are superb,a little rub on the Shilling but the others are upgrades for sure & yes the Florin is DROOL worthy.

[accumulator]

OK, I've redone the pics for this set,i think they are better.
