Help with academic study requested - survey for coin collectors
Mr T replied to old.currency.exchange@gmai's topic in Free for all
Post a link and the content itself here I think.- 35 replies

Seems vaguely reminiscent of The Rare Coin Company in Australia which invested money in coins for you: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-11/rare-coin-collapse-feature/4815042
-
Yes - especially with my British collection - 20 pennies down, what, another 250 to go?
-
Looks like their site is down at the moment.

EU referendum - in or out?
Mr T replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Does anyone besides Great Britain (and I suppose some of the dependencies) use it at the moment? -
What would you do ?.
Mr T replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd look further afield - I started collecting Australian coins but there are plenty of other interesting Commonwealth things to collect and I've found it hard to stay focused. I like to collect coins and part of that is acquiring new coins. Gosh I didn't realise it was that many - I guess that includes all the gold mintmarks and varieties? -
Interesting attempt at the portrait of the Queen.
-
So it's a British threepence on a thin flan?

The Elusive 2002 Jamaica Proof Set Remains So
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
Agreed - I actually had some luck with the Royal Mint a few years ago and found out there was an authorised mintage of 50,000 for 1983 Cook Islands sets but only maybe a tenth of that actually ended up being produced. -
I think V. R. Court found six so while they're rare, I don't think they're that rare.
-
Out of curiosity is there a problem with the one on ebay at the moment?

1958 Half Penny variants
Mr T replied to bhx7's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I counted and reverses E, F and G all the same number of denticles (144 for the curious). -
I've been collecting since 1999 but I think probably half of that time was spent collecting pretty passively.
-
When did it last sell?
-
Sometime told about a site that is setting out to do this: http://onlinecoin.club/ See the info on the New Zealand 1933 sixpence for example (at the bottom): http://onlinecoin.club/Coins/Country/New_Zealand/Sixpence_1933/ Unfortunately nothing on British sixpences.
-
No, but it is a good read. I've seen it on ebay twice in the last few years at around £50-£60 mark.
-
Did it?
-
Okay, disregard http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/10467-problem-posting/ - apparently the forum has issues with me posting what looks like command line stuff.
-
A couple of times this week the forum hasn't loaded at all of an evening (in Australia - I think that equates to late morning in the UK). On Wednesday night the site didn't load at all and on Friday night it worked for a while but eventually it didn't load at all.
-
Happened again this week (Wednesday night I think). Here's the result of pinging the site. Pinging predecimal.com [109.74.245.158] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Ping statistics for 109.74.245.158: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Oh right - yes, it's a wired connection, not 3G or anything like that. I clear my cache whenever I turn off my computer (daily) and I think I tried pinging predecimal.com during the week when I couldn't access it but I think I got no response.
-
Not sure what you mean by connected ISP router. Anyway, I tried to access the site again three times during the week at around the same time - each time it wouldn't load but everything else was working fine. I'm posting this now early on Saturday morning and it's fine.
-
Everything else seemed to be working but predecimal.com was timing out. Desktop computer.

Gothic Crown Query
Mr T replied to The Future's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not sure - Davies seems to suggest they're all inverted axis I think.
