      1949threepence

      Don't know, but I'd put forward two suggestions, "A collection" or "A cabinet" ;)

      Hi Guy,

      Could do - I can't help noticing you have some high end buns as spares. What threepences would you be interested in, and what buns do you have spare?

    Hi Secret Santa.

    As you will have gathered Edward VII Pennies are my core passion. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this denomination and also read any literature you can email me or give me a web address / Book ID to.

    Also if you have any Edward VII Pennies for sale please let me know.

    My email is  thecoinery@hotmail.com

    Regards

      Hi Guy,

      Thanks. I rather like pennies (by date and not hypervarietals) and of course Victorian silver.

       

      Best,

    Hi John

    I have a question for you:

    I have a Silver Penny - One Penny Model.(1844) Struck in silver.21mm diameter

    You can see a photo of it on the CGS site - UIN: 35319.

    I believe it to be Freeman 799. Rarity R18

    From my research they appears to be around 6 of these.

    Do you know of it or have any information about it ?

    Regards

    Guy

    Hi David.

    I noticed your quoted on GaryD's messages and that you collect French coins.

    I have a modest collection of Silver 50 francs and 10 Francs and if this is a denomination you are interested in discussion please get in touch.

    You can see my collection on the CGS website  "the Coinery" & "TC Coins". I am not sure which one the Francs are on

    Regards

      Hi Guy

      I am sure we have spoken about this before, but how did you get to 26 varieties?

      If I tot up all the minor varieties detailed in Groom, I get to 60 distinct types, and if I just include the major varieties, I get to 17, so which of the minors do you include?

       

      Here's my list of 17:

      1902: 2

      1903: 2

      1904: 1

      1905: 2

      1906: 1

      1907: 1

      1908: 4

      1909: 3

      1910: 1

       

      cheers

      Declan :)

      Hi Guy

       

      I'll go through those at my leisure - thank you!

       

      Groom is:

      The Identification of British 20th Century Bronze Coin Varieties, by David J. Groom

      ISBN: 978-1-4092-8550-2

      It's miles more detailed than Freeman - for instance he describes 13 types of 1902LT, and 13 types of 1907.

      Dave Groom is on the forum "daveg38", and I bet he could flog you one - he's done one for silver too - better than Davies but, like the bronze one, only covers the 20th century.

       

      hope you find one - if you like your varieties, you'll love these two little books...

       

      Declan :)
