Books are not at the top of my priority list at the moment. Getting together the funds for my reserved 1902LT is! It shouldn't take me more than a month hopefully. If I did get a numismatic book then I would just get a Peck.

[Master Jmd 50]

may i ask where are you getting your 1902LT?

[Sylvester 15]

I'm the other way with the books...

Silver Coins of England; 1841

Spinks; 1985

Collectors' Coins; 1992-3

Seaby; 1993

Coincraft; 2000

English Hammered Coinage; 2000

Collectors' Coins; 2004 (Thanks for sending me that Chris! Well i had to know what i was working on didn't i?)

The Redbook; 2004

(English Hammered by North was the last one i bought for £90, i also splashed out on a Redbook).

But generally i only buy a new price catalogue every 7 years.

A secret contact who specialises in halfpennies! No, it's Saltford coins, but they do specialise in halfpennies. He told me that it the best one he has seen.

[Master Jmd 50]

thanks for the link.

I meet the guy (ashamed to say I don't know his name) every couple of months at a local fair.

He usually has some good stuff and we always have a chat about collecting.

Hello Everyone.

Our First post!!

Yes, sorry it's taken a while, but our web site is now in its very final stages of development and will be live by the end of January.

(At the moment we have a temporary page up)

Looking forward to participation in future discussions!

All the best.

Martyn.

My Webpage

[Chris Perkins 223]

Welcome Martyn, looks like it'll be a good website if the first page is anything to go by.

Do you have the 3 Wreath Crowns still?

Maybe we can cross link, or perhaps you can become an accessory affiliate, like onlinecoins...They do ok out of that.

[saltford_coins 0]

Yes, so far we are very pleased with it, cant wait for it to be fully operational.

Regards to the Crowns, Ill have to double check but I think so. I will reply again tomorrow and PM/Email you.

Cross Linking would be great, You'll have to explain to me fully whats involved in becoming an affiliate. Sounds good though.

Thank you

[Master Jmd 50]

Well...welcome to the forum, Martyn (if thats your name)...it is allways nice to see new faces

[tubandpud 0]

Welcome Martyn - sounds like you & Chris will get on well - hopefully good business.

I am VERY new to coin collecting, but strange thing is, I was looking at your website yesterday.

I only have a December 'Coin News' and your advert. is just above Predecimal's

Good Luck both of you.

My oldest one was CCGB 2004, but I gave it to a friend when I got CCGB2005, so this one and the Krause World Coins 1901-2005 are the only collecting books I have so far.

Not very old indeed!

[Chris Perkins 223]

My oldest one was CCGB 2004, but I gave it to a friend

Best thing for it!

[Geordie582 18]

I can list the following,

Roman Coins - Mattingley - 1962

Byzantine coins & their values - Sears - 1974

Coins of Scotland, Ireland & the Islands - Seaby - 1984

Coinage of the Roman World - Burnett - 1987

Sadly I own non of the above! They were discovered in local library archives and I have them on more or less permanent loan ( I just keep renewing!)

[Millimoo 0]

Sorry, not very old, the best I can do is:

Leo Mildenberg - The Coinage of the Bar Kokhba War - 1984

I can do a little better on newest book:

David Hendin - Not Kosher - 2005 (number 65 of the first edition!)
