  1. Paid £173 for it, considering the circles- about right or over the top ?
  2. Just checked the rim and there's no indication of anything having gripped the coin. Also do you think the circles affect its value ? C44

    Buying online

    I think it would be a good idea to set up a pinned thread with recommended eBay dealers...just an idea

    Enthusiasm for collecting has stalled...

    This sounds just like me LOL, Im into other hobbies such as fishing, painting, metal detecting (although I suppose that kinda ties in with the coins), and taxidermy and I find that I have periods when im absolutely obsessed about coin collecting and im buying 2 or 3 coins every week to add to the collection, trawling internet and reading books and magazines, and then, all of a sudden i lose all interest in all things numismatic for a couple of months while i get obsessed with another hobby, then eventually back to coins again I am currently at a time where no other hobby interests me in the slightest only the coins, but im sure thatll change when i run out of coin money LOL Also does anyone else feel that although they spend so much time and mony on their collection, it doesn't seem to get any bigger? Sometimes i feel depressed looking at it, saying to myself 'after all this bloody time, come on, only TEN sixpences? Only TWELVE shillings??' even though 'quality not quantity' has always been my motto- it gets frustrating sometimes! C44
  5. Im convinced that there is no 3 over 0 error on this coin also

    Nice Elizabeth I Shilling

    Hi all, Acquired this coin from a local antique dealer who doesn't specialize in coins and only keeps a few, its a beautiful Elizabeth I shilling, I think clipped slightly. Im not an expert on hammereds so I would appreciate if anyone could tell me the type, year, value etc and most importantly if it looks alright (I know there are forgeries about). Any help much appreciated, Conor
