    Help with academic study requested - survey for coin collectors

    Post a link and the content itself here I think.
  2. 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

    Enthusiasm for collecting has stalled...

    Yes - especially with my British collection - 20 pennies down, what, another 250 to go?
  4. Looks like their site is down at the moment.
  5. Does anyone besides Great Britain (and I suppose some of the dependencies) use it at the moment?
  6. 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?

    more FAKES

    Interesting attempt at the portrait of the Queen.
  8. Mr T

    unique coin

    So it's a British threepence on a thin flan?
  9. 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.

    1908 penny

    I think V. R. Court found six so while they're rare, I don't think they're that rare.
  11. Mr T

    1908 penny

    Out of curiosity is there a problem with the one on ebay at the moment?
  12. I counted and reverses E, F and G all the same number of denticles (144 for the curious).

    Enthusiasm for collecting has stalled...

    I've been collecting since 1999 but I think probably half of that time was spent collecting pretty passively.

    Historical guide prices

    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.

    A Numismatic History of the Birmingham Mint

    No, but it is a good read. I've seen it on ebay twice in the last few years at around £50-£60 mark.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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),
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Everything else seemed to be working but predecimal.com was timing out. Desktop computer.
  22. Not sure - Davies seems to suggest they're all inverted axis I think.
