    Auction Catalogues

    As you know the prices of coins are determined by the equilibrium of supply and demand ... The supply is more or less the same in the years while the demand , especially with the invention of internet, is increased a lot . So I think in addition to inflation what has determined the increase of prices is that in the past only few people could have the possibility to have a coin collection.

    Recent aquisitions

    Yes , you are right . I remember the auction , there were some of this coins in very low conservation .... some were interesting but prices were quite high.
  19. Matteo95

    Recent aquisitions

    The conservation is not perfect but for this type it is quite good
  20. Matteo95

    Recent aquisitions

    Re-Toning

    yes , a photo of the coin slabbed could be the proof that the coin is original
  22. Matteo95

    Re-Toning

    I honestly hate slabbed coins so , I think it is an other element for remove the box. :) Seriously I don't see any other alternatives ... If you needed the proof that it's not a fake now you have it .. Take a picture of the coin slabbed to cofirm that is the same coin before remove the slab.

    York Ethelred imitation ?

    I've controlled on Spink ' s Coins of England and I have to say that the portrait is very similar to Aethelred's ( especially in type 1151 ) , but others elements are different .. Your coin has a easier style , the cross is very simple and legends are shorter than normal coins .. in my little , I think that the idea of an imitation could be right ... It is a very interesting coin
  24. Hi all In the italian forum lamoneta.it there is an interesting where a member asked us if we know why the sovereigns minted between 1985 and 1997 ( exept 1989 ) have been struck only in proof version ... Honestly none of us know the answer ( I try to see on the Marsh's book but I didn't find anything ) so Is there some member who know it ? Thanks Matteo
