Today I Received.....

[morezone]

You always seem to get your coins first even though we both live in Manchester and despatched the same time lol.still no 4th expo panda roosters arrived yet [emoji26]

From when the parcel was handed over to China Post, both the Expo and Lunar Pandas took 8 days to arrive and were from different dealers. Usually delivery time is 7-10 days but I did have one parcel a few weeks ago take almost 3 weeks. Really thought it had gone missing with it taking so long.

There are a couple of scratches so probably refers to those. One on reverse Rim and other on obverse.

 

Tooled.  it's a strange expression. To me, it's scratched.

I would have expected tooled to mean some form of deliberate alteration eg filling a hole or filing off solder marks etc

Can't see the reverse detail so well, but the obverse looks a little better than AU58

Some slightly better pics. This is a type 2 $1. It didn't really work well and most pieces badly minted. In 1856 they replaced the small head of the type 2 with a larger head that lasted till 1889.

So Numi - will you free this from its PCGS tomb and send it into NGC for a new grading? As you know, I am no grading expert - but "tooled" does seem strange. First time I have seen that on a slab label.  Beautiful coin, a real collectors piece!

I might put air into an NGC slabs as the ocgs one does not fit into my NGC case. NGC will probably say scratched details. As you say details or no details it's rare

Very Nice. Had my eye on that too, but decided to bid for the 1902 Crown instead.

Been waiting a number of years to get one of these at a reasonable price and five came along together, including an unexpected proof.

Great find!

Having no luck recently. Sent a high relief 2014 elephant back last week as it looked like it had been dragged through a hedge and they say it hasn't arrived yet... 

Today these arrived, one has a mark which I don't know if it's a scratch or black biro and the other is royal mint up to there usuaul high standard of no quality control. I honestly don't know why I bother my arse with the RM

So do I haha and yes it's the 1/4 proof

[Bullionbilly]

Thanks,  looks lovely !

What a nuisance. It's going to have to go back though. No 'it's only bullion' BS here.

'I honestly don't know why I bother my arse with the RM',  me too but then I see these

...and they are instantly forgiven.
