Coppers

Anyone plan on bidding?

Recommended Posts

That would not be in this lifetime. Why is it that these delicacies seem to show up at least 5-6 times per year? Can't afford to hold such I'd imagine, or else they are much more common than some think??

Not me. Thankfully I don't have any boxes which have to be ticked with one of these. It's bad enough having to get a triple unite, Cromwell 50/- and dragon marked Henry VII sovereign to name but three, if I am to pursue the aims of the collection fully. :(

Ain't gonna happen, is it?

I was going to bid but when I realised that Coppers was in the market I just knew that I didn't have the financial legs to compete :P

Will just stick to a couple of sixpences I have in my 'Cabinet'.

I would but I already have two ... oh, hang on. I think I ate one at Christmas.

It is a chocolate coin, isn't it?

This would be my ultimate goal in collecting,and would be the first thing I would look for if the lottery numbers came up.Most of the coins I have bought over the last few years have been GIII Crown sized pieces,and I would love to own at least one of the pattern Crowns albeit for awhile,money allowing.

I have a few up for sale in the St James's Auction 34 lots 171 to 175,two of which I regret putting into the Auction.

It is very beautiful but not something I covet.

My ancestors would most probably not have owned, touched, seen, or even heard of this coin.

For a couple hundred grand I could have a decent Henry VIII testoon, Liz 1 crown, Gothic crown, gold Angel, a Noble, Willy IV crown, etc etc etc etc

But best wishes if it strokes your fancy :)

cheers Garrett.
