    TOY COINS

    Is it in rogers the 1849 I mean? I saw one listed in the seventies in a farthing specialist list so theres more than one hanging around

    I always thought the usa coins were really dear it always frustrates me that these lovely coins have so few fans probably less than 40 serious collectors such a shame

    Where do you find most of your model coins drlarry? Most of mine come from either birmingham or by searching "toy coins " on ebay must admit I dont add many to my collection now just the odd buy , I love bulk collections and the odd pickup is nice but probably around three time a year now. Searching "model coins" does get more views and thus higher prices , so i dont bother as much. Unfortunately buying this way you get lots of doubles , I usually bag them up and put them on the bay as a bulk lot

    TOY COINS

    If I remember rightly it was the penny and i am pretty sure it was dated 1902 it was in about unc grade so it was not poor quality if there is a picture in rogers book it will be the one I sold him . He could have retired in the early eighties so maybe he would not use the title reverand when retired , I am pretty sure he built up his collection over 15 years or so , remember it was so much harder back then with no ebay , farthing specialist was always on the lookout for nice coins for him.

    A full set of these would be very expensive they just seem to be found as singles I am sure they were not issued in great quantities. Might be interesting to know if the farthing also appears as a dated version Rev rogers book anyone?

    And another in great grade . I remember sending one of these to the reverand rogers back in the seventies and he sent me a lovely crisp £20 note for it so there ain't many arround

    Ebay's BEST Offerings

    Talking of varieties does anyone know when the first 1862 6/8 was found I suspect its as recent as the late 1990's I am pretty sure there are about 25 or 30 at least known One for the penny geeks this one should not be hard as there are plenty out there

    Ebay's BEST Offerings

    Coins market values always valued the d over sideways d 1851 farthing at about seven or eight time the normal coin - you try finding one in any grade its very difficult- well its still not in my collection after donkeys years anyway

    2018 50p Next big thing?

    Just noticed that 2018 shield 50ps are all the rage on the internet at the moment - I managed to find three in circulation so I dont think I have done too badly . They seem to fetch anything from £25 - £40.00 at the moment but as we know from experience these things tend to snowball (at this time of the year especially) LOL. Happy hunting

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Time to give up collecting if you cannot buy a copy of peck or work out if a coin is a genuine mule or not.

    POST bandits

    About three weeks ago a leaflet came through the post with all details about how !st and second class stamps have to be used by the end oof the year . Having built up a little collection of first class stamps over the last three years or so (84 stamps to be exact) I thought about this for a while and in the end decided to send off my stamps to be changed into new ones. BAD CALL PETER , it promised on the leaflet that my stamps would be with me in a week (that was three weeks ago) and I have knowhere to complain to or to chase up my stamps. I surpose the old post office would not have been any better , so things never change. It really does annoy me that companies like this hold you too ransom then apparently steal their own product back I will of course keep you up to date and apogise if the stamps arrive - i really think the high street post offices should have been given this job

    POST bandits

    Well they have arrived after three weeks or so not the seven days - I hope anyone else using this service has the same experience . GOOD LUCK EVERYONE - I had no choice but send the stamps up the only other thing I could have done was use them all in the next three months.

    Its getting harder and harder to leave bad feedback , mainly because ebay hate it because it means there are unhappy customers on their site. They make it harder and harder so in the end people either cannot or willnot leave bad feedback. In effect they are only fooling themselves by masking the problem
