    Help And Advice For A Beginner

    Mr T replied to Artisan's topic in Beginners area

    I would echo the above sentiments about buying a book before anything else. If you're going to sell as well I'd be checking my change for anything worth selling as it seems like some of the low mintage commemoratives can got for a bit over face value. I use a spreadsheet to track my coins - it's not perfect but it does the job.

    A parallel universe?

    Mr T replied to blakeyboy's topic in Free for all

    Interesting indeed. I'm surprised there's so much at stake here for what are child's play - I know toys can go for crazy prices but having millions of dollars worth of trading cards?

    Not sure what is going on but if I try and post a link to http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/13797-1951-crown-type-i-and-type-ii-reverse/ in http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/13884-pattern-1951-crown-what-do-you-see/ I get a 403 error page. Edit, okay I think it only fails if I don't disable the inline preview, posting the link itself works okay.
  4. Mr T
    Disabling the preview just makes it a plain old link but inline preview makes it look like a quote box with some other details I think.

    Where was it published? British Numismatic Journal?
  6. Mr T
    A lot of it was outsourced to Watt and Heaton.

    Nice pick-up!

    Has anyone looked much at the London and Perth half sovereigns of 1904? Marsh says that both exist with and without the BP, but as far as I can see all the Perth coins have no BP, and Marsh is wrong when he says the London no BP is the more common coin.

    I read recently the request came in 1951 as well.

    Halfpenny ID check

    Mr T replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    You might be on to something, though I think obverse 11 and 12 are probably the same more of less - I looked for any appreciable difference that wasn't a comparative and all I could notice was that some coins had the R of BRITT pointing below the serif of the I and some had it in line. Both types could be seen on coins that were supposed to be both 11 and 12.
  11. Mr T
    The latest edition of the The Gold Sovereign is out - looks like there is free postage for a short amount of time as well.

    1708 Queen Anne shilling

    Yeah, doesn't look right at all.

    Mr T replied to Diaconis's topic in Free for all

    I remember reading that though maybe it was brother that rejected the offer? I've noted to myself that the first stroke of the N in ONE helps with the 1909 penny.

    Any opinions on http://numismatics.org/collection/1980.109.1037 and http://numismatics.org/collection/1947.129.1? The first one looks like it has the wrong sort of wear and I think is fake. The second one looks okay but according to the notes is a hollowed out container, though it looks like a real coin was used.
  15. Mr T
    Sorry for the late response - thank you, very helpful.

    I was flicking through my Davies and it looks like the threepence dies used for George V Maundy sets is incomplete (it starts with 3C for 1920). Anyone know what was used for 1911 to 1919? I know I can look (it looks like 1911 is 1A: https://maundy.co.uk/catalogue/product-details.aspx?id=nPLwqfwFJrE%3D; 1919 looks like 1B: https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=168&searchlot=2237&searchtype=2) but just in case anyone has already looked and figured it out.
  17. Mr T
    Ah right you are - I got my die attributes in Davies mixed up.
  18. Mr T
    Agreed - cast from dies with a 3 engraved themselves by the looks of it.
  19. Mr T
    I think it sold through DNW but does anyone have a link? Google doesn't give me anything obvious.
  20. Mr T
    Yes there we go: https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=124&searchtype=3 Thanks - got a bit confused because the first lot of stuff was the Roland Harris collection.
  21. Mr T
    Yes, will send you a PM.

    Four different reverses for 1887? What are they?

    5p Varieties 1969 – 1990

    Mr T replied to AardHawk's topic in Decimal Coins

    Nice work.
  24. Mr T
    Is it still published? And is it anywhere on the Spink website? Google gives me a couple of hints, both of which are dead links.
  25. Mr T
    Anyway, I put together what I could find at my site: https://www.coincuriosity.com/snc.html I'll build this up as I find digitised issues and I have time.
