Thanks

Mostly, yes. Though owners generally wish to remain private. Ah ok, that makes sens, so it's private owners? I was wondering (hoping) it would have been museums or the like.
-
Unfortunately the attached didn't turn up in my searches but didn't want to keep clogging up the forum with multiple posts. Could I ask people's thoughts on it? In relation to the initial post, so far, unsurprisingly nothing has amazed me, but I've still got over 75% to go through

I've been trawling the internet for info, and appreciate that we don't know exactly how many have been produced, but from those that we are aware of, do we know where they are?

Thanks Paulus

Re: your question regarding Demand, that's why I had set it as the denominator with the higher the demand, the lower the value, however I also see where you're coming from regarding demand = desirability. My take on desirability was more a 'nominal value' you could assign such as aesthetic appeal.
-
How do you define desirability? I like hammered, Peck can't be ar*ed. There are too many penny collectors on this forum, many would disagree. Some like bright coins, others toned. Some quality, others washers. This is too subjective to give a definite number. Availability is an ok parameter because it is a simple census and so is demand as long as you don't try to qualify it. I agree entirely, this was more a tongue in cheek time waster whilst at work than any real attempt to come up with some standardised scale.

I was catching up on this thread whilst at work, and as I was writing some coding thought I'd try to conceptualise the notion of rarity in a formula to give a "rarity score" so the following are my initial thoughts based upon a Likert Scale of 1-100 Rarity = ((Desirability + Availability) / Demand) where: Desirability (the most desirable, the higher the number) Availability (the greater the availability, the lower the number) Demand (the higher the demand, the lower the number) Obviously this is subjective and there may be some key factors that I've missed, however I think it covers the most pertinent elements raised that affects rarity.

Whaaaat??? I love car boot sales! Nothing beats sellin for all intents and purposes what I would otherwise class as "junk" and chuck, for peanuts and then afterwards, totting it all up and having £100 + but then, this time next year Rodders... ?

Hey, it was Clic.
-
I find it works only if I right click and open in a new tab. Maybe try that?Ok thanks. I'm on my phone now but will try this evening.

Windows 7 and IE8

Again, the quoting button doesn't seem to have worked for me =(
-
Okie doke, just tried that. I've done it before but because nothing showed up as "quoted" assumed it didn't work. I'll see if this works! Yes, I must admit, unless there's anything Hungarian or Norwegian, none of the foreign stuff will rock my boat, so will post if anyone's interested. Hoping it will arrive by Tuesday and then the fun can commence :D :D
-
Peck - I've tried quoting you but still can't work out, so in response: I paid £75. The description said "old and foreign coins". I'll probably rue this decision, but in my slightly inebriated state at the time and having won exactly £75 on the premium bonds thought, why not. I'll keep you posted on any interesting finds.
-
I'm relatively new myself. I'm sure the more experienced here will not advise what I've done, but I bought 5kg worth of coins from a charity recently and am now just awaiting delivery. I'm sure there'll be a huge amount of dross, but maybe that's an option???
-
and how do you go about re-toning if that's the recommended action?
-
I've read comments where it suggests you can "accelerate the toning process". I have ended up with a dipped coin, is it better to keep it how it now is or to try to re tone it? It's an 1890 crown. Thanks
-
Believe it or not, but my girlfriend has been getting into coins having seen some of the older coins that I've recently got. She's Hungarian however so finds their coins more interesting so picked up this rather nicely toned Corona recently
-
Yeah I sold a DVD to someone in Sweden last week, she couldn't pay for the item immediately (I had set the cost of postage in the uk, but hadn't even considered international) so we messaged and agreed a fee for postage which I invoiced her for and then I shipped this weekend at no loss to myself. I'm at work now but can find out what settings were applied if that's helpful?
-
Further to Mark's query, I have quite a significant number of pennies and half pennies and post 1947 sixpences, none of the older pennies and halfs (1900 - 1940) in anything better than Fair condition those in the 50s-60s decades are GF - EF and the same for the sixpences. Could you advise for how you've found best to get rid of these? Thanks, Richard

Hi, I was successful and got it at the £19.99 price so well chuffed - thanks for your support. I've started goin through those links as well - thanks again for those, there are also some nice looking tokens from Dorset so I'll enjoy keeping an eye out for those. -
Ok, and I could imagine a 1 could look like a 7 when it's so faded. Ok 1831 ?
-
Hi All, so I'm getting to the end of all my granddads coins. Aside from the usual UK contenders, I've had some interesting finds including Danish 1771 1 Skilling, Greek 1876 5 Drachma, US 1898 One Cent, Mexican 1881 8 Real - no idea whatsoever how they ended up in our family, so that's the next piece of research. However, I'm at a loss at identifying this coin from closer to home. I'm working on the basis that it's a George IV Penny, but I have had no joy in working out the year as it's too heavily worn to pick up the year under magnifier glass. Are there any tell tale signs that I can look out for to work this out? Thanks
-
Hi, yes, now not being under the influence (hence the blurry photo) and reading your thoughts I've given it another few views and can now see the 183... I think I can see a 7 but it is incredibly faint. Thanks all for your time and assistance.
