The name 'penny master' was due to my old collection and I feel that I should use a name that reflects my new collection.

Custard,

That sounds a sensible addition, can you list all the fixed values for sources of coins that you can think of?

Most people have already been putting 'ebay' or 'Colin Cooke' etc, so it's generally easy to tell what came from where.

Often the prices you see and the prices you pay are two different things. I always give little discounts etc and I'm sure other dealers do too.

Perhaps I will add a distinguishing choice, like 'Coin seen at price' or Coin bought at price'. That would give the scope for the database to be added to just from browsing online lists and I suppose that would fill it much quicker.

Ok, I'll make some db changes soon.

The only other category I can think of is a mailing list.

If we just had other, in addition, that would probably cover it - unless anyone else can think of any.

Colin Cooke sells quality coins, but i can't help feeling the prices are a bit high even so, hence why i've abstained from buying anything from there yet.

I've never bought from him either, I have noticed that the prices are just over catalogue value...

I might try him soon I dunno...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

He is quite a good seller with a nice selection of high grade of coins. However, when Chris gets a coin that I need then I would rather bring business his way!

I've only bought Farthing off Cooke and nearly all of them have been under or at catalogue value. Only one of the ten or so I've bought have been over the value listed in Spink's.

i have never bought off of him either, but i wouldn't say that the coins were over prised, all the pennies seem to be at or just under the catalauge price...you cant count it with some coins; he has a BU full lustre 1806 penny for sale for £225, £50 over the unc. coin value, but this is because of its rarity, it doesn't say extremely rare, but a BU full lustre penny that is over 175 years old is extremely rare to come by...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Those BU full lustre copper coins are hard to come by but there is usually one for sale at any one time either on Ebay or Colin Cooke, it is just a matter of looking.

[Master Jmd 50]

but where to look...

yes, but the only BU coppers i see are not the ones i want

[Half Penny Jon 0]

If you save up your money then when you do see one then you will be able to buy it.

[Sylvester 15]

i can't speak for the copper, but the Early Milled silver is up there at the top end.

And so is some of the hammered.

[Master Jmd 50]

I have seen the new improvements to the site, and would like to say how quick you are advancing chris ...

---

...and i am pleased that my idea got put on the site

Combining the Collectors George III and Collectors Coins Great Britain book has also been talked about.

[Master Jmd 50]

(sorry couldent edit )

Chris - for the rotographic site, why dont you put a page where people can say and post a picture/webpage about an unidentified coin; such as that 1951 crown with the edge inscription, this way your book could be one little step ahed of the big books (spink etc...)

...also, chris - can you think about making all the members who are in the 'numismatic research group' able to edit their posts please ...

Point one: Because then the world and his aunt would contact me with crappy 'unidentified' coins that they have not been able to identify by browsing the web for 5 seconds. It would be a waste of my resources because most coins would turn out to be churchill crowns or other very boring coins.

Point two: I'll certainly think about it.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Maybe you could let us post pictures of unidentified coins so we can at least use our knowledge to some extent.

[Emperor Oli 0]

I think Colin Cooke has got that base covered

[Half Penny Jon 0]

True, I forgot.

[Chris Perkins 223]

I'm not really concerned about UNI's (Unidentified Numismatic items) at the moment. Any invitation to post pictures or ask questions is just asking for trouble.

This year I'm concentrating on what is already in the book, and getting the prices right.

yes, i suppose things like this should not really be rushed into...

That is the most sensible thing you ever said!

i am the real MJMD, and yes, that probably is the most sencible thing ive ever said

I have not seen an advertisement (flash media player) banner/icon for rotographic, it would help if the numismatic research group members could advertise rotographic on their websites (if they have a website unlike me )...think, the more people who view the site, the easier the priceing will be

[Chris Perkins 223]

This time around I won't be promoting the website all that much, I'll promote it in the 2005 book, and perhaps officially launch it somehow at the same time as the book.

This time around, when I have the 2005 book from Mr Marles I'll use what data and facts I have to update the prices as well as possible, but 2006 will be probably more my work than his. For the 2006 I'll use the data on in the rotographic databases more (and should have more of it) and hopefully start turning the book into 'my own' with the same values and features it always had.

Seens sensible...

Chris, how many coins do you have on the Rotoghraphic database now?
