My main interest is in the first part of the 19 Ct. but I do have a few scans which may be of interest - will get in touch.

[colonialjohn 3]

Much appreciated. Most of my counterfeits from World are Spain, France and Great Britain. But have a few others - once you get past 1800 the UK types are common but your overview was indeed impressive. I plan to include your type in the book. Its different. One other collector has supplied some CC gold wash guineas ... Poulsen from Denmark. These appear to be Hg amalgam gold washes over debased alloys of copper or low Zn brass types.

I know for years the British in SNC & BNJ's have written articles of CCs. I can use scans of these notices for this period to correct or add to in these papers.

[colonialjohn 3]

OK. See my current E-mail. Keep in touch.

Soon I will check my World Reference CC Collection and report back information on your scans if these piece are in my collection.

You're from Denmark? I never knew that.

[seuk 85]

Yes - Zealand, on the outskirts of Copenhagen - I would probably never had a chance to collect British counterfeits if it wasn't for the internet (eBay).

Are you Danish Danish, or an ex-pat Brit?

[seuk 85]

Danish - However my older sister (now deceased) lived and worked in Manchester and London (Barkingside) for a number of years back in the 1980/90s where I sometimes visited her for a week or two during the summer. Remember going to a small market (think it was on The Strand?) sort of a hole in the wall, where a number of dealers were selling postage stamps and probably also coins etc. - it was a good place to find Cinderellas (poster and revenue stamps) which I collected back then.

Wow. Your English is so good I would never ever have guessed it isn't your first language.

A lot of Europe is like that. Within a few years of my wife coming here, my customers didn't realise she was foreign when she answered the phone. and her grammar is better than the locals'

You live in Manchester, don't you Rob?

[Rob 2,998]

Yes. Meaning?

[Peter 615]

Mad for it ....

[sound 25]

Yes. Meaning?

Peck means it always rains in Manchester or have I misunderstood?

If you've been good in this life, maybe next time you'll be born in Liverpool .

[Rob 2,998]

Nobody who has met me would ever accuse me of being a Mancunian, surely? If anyone needs an audiologist, please PM me.

[Michael-Roo 777]

'ACCUSE me of being a Mancunian'?

Heavens!

I may be from God's own city but I'll always be happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and sisters across the way . What's wrong with being a Mancuian?….

[Rob 2,998]

Nothing wrong with being a Mancunian, after all I've got offspring that were brought up here. It's just that I am about as far removed from one as it's possible to be, despite having lived here for decades.

[Peter 615]

How many decades Rob?

3 score and 10?

You didn't sound Mancunian when I spoke to you from the Sainsbury's carpark in Weston-Super-Mare!

[Rob 2,998]

You didn't sound Mancunian when I spoke to you from the Sainsbury's carpark in Weston-Super-Mare!

And I wasn't fully conversant with Thatcher's yard without good reason.

Now that's very interesting, because your voice reminded me of someone I knew in the South-West...is that your heritage, then, Rob? I remember you saying you routinely called in at the cider farm in Sandford (which is walking distance from where I grew up), but can't recall the link? Work, wasn't it?

True true.
