Beautiful British coinage and I hope they grade very well for him! Thanks for the schooling on the denominations as it is usually a little hard for us Americans to follow. Congrats on the Steel Cent gifts! They are really cool to have. Thanks for sharing and very good way to start off the New Year!!
And lets not forget that a lot of Vield ponds, kruger ponds and kruger half ponds have been slabbed as being genuine by NGC and PCG by mistake. Professional collectors in south Africa had to present their findings, to both companies who refused to except their verdict. After a lot more information given to these two companies by the professional collectors in South Africa, they then finaly omitted that they got it wrong, and these were fake. Yet they were bloody well slabbed. A sick joke, meaning, they were not professional enough to it authenticity.
During my childhood phase of coin collecting[mid 80's], I picked up a few pds sets of the steel pennies. They are a nice novelty. Think it was $1 for each set. Think they go for a little more these days. The history behind them is interesting indeed.
Thanks for showing my coins. Like i said, I don't expect a great grade from the 1/2 Sov. I wouldn't be disappointed with a details grade. But it will look nice in a holder. The Steel Pennies were kind of a funny gift. Then I looked them up later, as you know. They are worth something in MS 67 or so grade and if they are not cleaned or re-plated with zinc. I have 2 of each still left Thanks again for grading :)
In my experience in the US ANAC often over grades coins buy 2 grades deals don’t trust the grade and automatically pay you for at least one grade lower
It just goes to prove, that if numistacker is correct, and the halfcrown does receive a higher grade by removing it from one slabbing company to another, the whole bloody thing is a racket and and a con. If these so called people who grade are so good it would make no difference, the grade would be the same who ever graded it. Many people do this to get a higher grade, so that they then can sell it at higher price if they so wish. This is a big big money racket, and is not correct numismatics. A person either knows how to grade or not, and would be the same who ever grades it. As said before it takes years of knowledge how to grade coins, and this sort of bullshit from slabbing firms will ruin numismatics. I notice some of the pieces have some small carbon spots, which of course slabbing firms never mention, where good Auction houses do.
Buy the coin and ignore the grade? It seems to me that there is an element of subjectivity in grading and that grade barriers change over time. I love graded coins myself and most auction houses (USA) prefer to sell graded coins and this is also becoming prevalent in the uk for International marketing reasons. The problem is the greed of sellers and the willingness of buyers in USA in particular to pay high prices for just one grade higher.
There is no subjectivity in grading. You know how to grade or not. The point is, these people have set them selves up as being professional coin graders and not making these mistakes. These bloomers happen time and time again, see also comment I made on an 1897 S double eagle. They go through several people and then the grade is given. But then for example you take it out the slab and return it to the same firm or another slabbing firm, you get a different grade again. So which is the correct grade, and you paid twice. You think that is right? The whole thing is a bloody racket, and a con. and collectors are being taken for a ride.
Philip Payne that is just not true at all. Take a look at the Coin Week blind grading challenge videos with top experts grading a range of world coins. That video shows just how subjective grading is. It’s an opinion... if you are not an expert who do you trust The dealer who wants to get the best possible price by pretending his coins are higher grade than they are or the l independence of a third party grading company where coins are graded to the consensus of three people. I know which one I would choose.
@@NumistackerWell if they were so wonderful, which is what your saying, then the grading would be exactly the same, with one expert to another. This subjective grading is noncence, and is giving numismatics a bad name. Apart from other bloomers they make, with a William and Mary halfcrown, which my friend bought, he took it out the holder, because he wanted it in his coin tray, and had a bloody hole in the milling at the top. Just one, and seen many other horrible boobs made by these people. Who are these so called experts. Nobody knows anything about them. It's just their opinion as to what the grade should be, and seen many rare pieces well over graded by these two firms PCG and NGC, because it's all about big bucks at the end of the day.
Ben M the 500g bar will be trade able and the margins are small. It will take less effort to deal in than holding Silver. They say Silver has more upside than Gold but at the moment with interest in Crypto both are flat

Nice coins and as usual great video. I hope John gets good grading results. All the best for 2018 to yourself and everyone who comments on here.
1887 jubilee is always a great year to collect. Keep a special look out for the 1887 "young head" half crown. Safe and Happy New Year all :)

This has been a fine way to get the year going.
Even as an American, the crowns and sovereigns are captivating coins. Even moreso than the Morgans imo. A real treat!
Happy New Year Numistacker! Looking forward to more collecting and watching your videos!

For circulated examples a fair price for a PDS set is around 20-30 cents. My LCS sells the BU ones for $1 per coin.

Very very nice !!! )
i have one 1887 silver coin
ConserveSilver1887CrownsorOnlyGold?
Can anyone tell me if I should sell my silver bullion to get a 500g gold bar
Not necessarily unless you can get a great price for your Silver probably not to a dealer.
Numistacker I was offered a good price and the total amount was enough to by 500g if gold
Ben M the 500g bar will be trade able and the margins are small. It will take less effort to deal in than holding Silver. They say Silver has more upside than Gold but at the moment with interest in Crypto both are flat
Wht would you recommend I do my dad stacks gold but only when he can
Not a bun head tho jubilee head,
