  1. It is St. Andrew, as per the D&H description on my Edinburgh token here Obverse: St. Andrew with his cross between thistles.
  2. Thanks Will, I know there are some we are both still after!
  3. Just 7 Kempson's Birmingham Buildings to go! Prices are getting higher every week it seems ... latest addition

    1884 Half Crown

    I don't have an 1884 but my 1881 has something similar by the eye, the ear is fine - thought it was probably just bag marks Ear Eye
  5. My first what I would call 'passable' George I farthing
  6. I've just noticed my Chester Mint shilling does not appear to have any ties?
  7. Thanks Rob, that's very helpful
  8. Thanks, much appreciated!
  9. Just been collecting for 12 years or so now, and finding that provenance is increasingly important to me. The premium I would pay totally depends on the coin. but I'm not interested in acquiring coins from a particular collection (Brooker excepted, a focus at the moment), rather as an assurance of their authenticity. Some coins I would not buy at all without some provenance (Northumberland shillings, Charles I siege issues, wreath crowns, to name a few), and would pay a decent premium for cast-iron provenance (25%?)
  10. Aha so that was you eh ... the 4 groups of Kempsons Birmingham Buildings all contained tokens I wanted, but all went higher than I was prepared to pay
  11. A Facebook group member has asked if anyone can help with the provenance for this coin, any help much appreciated @Rob

    Provenance Sought for Aethelred Penny

    Thanks for checking Rob
  13. Well the dealers sell them on to us don't they? With another margin on top of course ...
  14. Here's mine, whereabouts do you mean exactly?
  15. Newbie, now 8 Kempson's Birmingham buildings left to collect ... This is now known as St Paul’s Church, and a spire has been added
  16. Really nice, I just have 1 of this series, they are all scarce I believe ...
  17. How much is their standard buyer'a premium, anyone know? I can't find it on their website ...
  18. It was 24% including the VAT (20% + (20% of 20%)) which might be why the number rings a bell - and might be why they have chosen this number, as it might go unnoticed
  19. Yes, in theory if buyers stick to their budgets then the hammer prices will be that bit lower (although I doubt it!)
