Well, there's a Christmas present for me sorted!

Recommended Posts

I noticed that Peter Nichols now do medal cabinets and I thought "If I replace two of my current trays (because medal trays are the depth of two coin ones) with what is effectively a drawer, that will sort where to put envelopes and other paperwork that doesn't fit in the coin recesses!"

Just under £10 + post for something made to order - stained and with the knobs aligned to match my existing trays - doesn't seem too bad at all!

Now I'm going to get back to looking for auctions that have a reasonable number of Charles I shillings illustrated in the catalogue. So if anyone has suggestions for sale catalogues I might not have, do please let me know!

I should say I'm only interested in Tower issues. So it will probably be a sale from the last 40 years. They weren't considered rare enough to spend the money on illustrating much before the 1970s, unless it was a well-known specialist collection.

Anyone else got any coin-related requests on their list this year?

:D

My mother always gives me £ which I use on coins or coin related :)

Me too. Not your Mother of course Peter! My family members. :lol:

However my Sis-in-Law likes to buy an actual gift (I got her to drop into Baldwins last year to pick up a catalogue) and so I try to suggest something she can wrap and hand over on the day. Otherwise I'll get something I don't really want! If it's not coin related it'll have to be some cologne from a place near Jermyn Street and I've still some left from last year!

I did wonder about that. Spink announced it as two volumes, but I've yet to see whether it's possible to buy either individually.

Or at what price the one most people would want might be on its own.

I did see it advertised at £25 on one site ... not sure about when you add post to Germany. Worth shopping around though.

Yes i thought it more practical to be able to buy either or but i assume Spink don't want the decimal book sitting around on their shelves which it probably would, hence the reason you're buying both books

Spink told me that you don't have to sell them separately so if you don't want both don't pre-order.
