The other interesting fact I know about it is that the reverse design tells you where to get it redeemed ! Eaton's publishing house was based at the Cock and Swine, 74 Newgate Street, sadly long demolished. If you're interested in more about Eaton, there's a lot of academic literature which discusses his activities as his friends and clients were basically a who's-who of the radical political scene of 1790s London.

Here's the front page of Eaton's edition of the Rights of Man, for reference, where he's "Citizen Daniel Isaac Eaton, Printer to the Supreme Majesty of the People". 

So the printer was Eaton but the portrait is Thomas Paine?

Thomas Paine's printer in London ! I'm rather amazed this hasn't got a US premium attached to it yet. Nice example. 

Thanks for that, I didn't know of the connection

Upgrade just landed

[Brexit 50p design]

How about this Banksy that greeted people to my (current) home town of Dover, until the owner of the building it was painted on had it removed?

Yes these are great, I have one - also love the Tudor garb!

Newbie, quite scarce

[1861 Shilling - Rarity?]

I've been concentrating on my YH Victoria shilling and sixpence types just recently, with a view to filling gaps and upgrading where necessary ...

Is the 1861 shilling really 'R' (rare) as indicated in Bull / ESC? Here's mine

Is it the age-old problem of trying to photograph through a slab?

It will lose some detail especially with a poor camera setup but the ear for example, no way is it MS63, just silly

Can't see it now.

It's still there, you need to copy/paste the full URL rather than click on the link

I must say it's one of the worst cases of over-grading by a top TPG I have seen

pity there is no crown

Yes, I always thought it a little strange that they didn't do a crown for 1911!

And the sixpence ...

Hi Paddy, I'd love the 1945 edition please?

[How much extra would you pay for provenance coins?]

I wanted a Charles I piece from Brooker i.e. the actual coin pictured in the book - I got one a few months ago, hard to quantify how much extra I would have been prepared to pay at the auction but perhaps it was in the region of 10%

It is St. Andrew, as per the D&H description on my Edinburgh token here
