    TOY COINS

    Just noted that the 1849 half farthing model is not in any of tony barters books must admit I am surprised there must be less than five or six out there. Must be worth a couple of hundred quid I would think . By the way if anyone knows tony (Yes I know he has sold his collection) would they like to mention it to him , thanks .

    Russians

    Well its been a year now and it seems a total stalemate between the two sides , I really dread whats going to happen over the next few years as neither side is going to win, it just points to what happened in the second world war happening again , I am just hopeing for a bit of divine intervention and a halt to the fighting .

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Yes ,a testoon there are very few around these days and few in good grade a pretty iconic coin really as the price tag shows. They tended not to get buried in hoards because they were debased silver , good silver drives out bad. Any that circulated circulated till they were like washers

    Marleybob just loves to be rencarnated, always under a different name . She could turn into a hindu it might help with the rencarnation , though it might not help her making up believable stories....
  12. Aparently the missile used to shoot that balloon down in the USA cost £250,000 i am pretty sure the fighter jet hitting it in the middle would have been so much cheaper

    She says that all the money is going to charity but then contradicts with 10% going to charity a pile of BS

    It would be really interesting to know what dates appear on the european lauer coins . While the golden age for Lauers minatures was 1885-1902 in the uk this might not have been the case abroad its fair to say the first world war must have stopped the trade here and brought it to a halt. It might be interesting to know the last dates on the Lauer coins i would hazard a guess at ther mid thirties but i could be wrong . Assuming Lauers production stopped around 1944 it would be a reasonable assumption they would have stopped at least 5 years b4 then with them helping in the war effort

    TOY COINS

    I saw that for sale , though expensive it really was quality stuff and i am sure you could have waited at least two or three years till something similar came on the market. I love the box it really is nice , you make me very jealous , moore was a master of lovely little items like this and its in super grade . A fantastic pick up

    TOY COINS

    Would be more appropriate to be set in a care home with the age of many of the cast - a hell of a lot are dead as well . I cannot feel anything as it just seems another money screwing exercise from john cleese who always defends himself by pointing a finger at all his ex wives and calling them gold diggers..

    many thanks and keep up the good work finding these lovely little coins as you the the lowlands or holland are strangely missing , strange that one . The map of europe has changed quite a lot since 1918 austria is quite a recent addition isn't it? I find it strange they are in there as well .

    Funny enough hatred of anything german lasted well into the seventies and early eighties (I remember a few old timers from the eighties that always refused to buy german made tools and cars), when it turned more to jealousy as their economy was not riped apart by the thatcher goverment and had a more progresive aproach in europe, indeed turning into the leading light .

    TOY COINS

    Yes they are cheap really , few people knew what the original contents were , a lot got emptied of the coins and used to hold needles or pins things like that very few were left with the coins in esp after the first world war when anything connected with germany was viewed with hatred
  24. Yes Blakey I have a picture of you with your understudy
