I have Marles' own selection of books in the Rotographic archive, which include some oddities like Check Your Change Bermuda and Check Your Irish Change. Back in the days where books didn't have an ISBN.

That is very sad. It was the Check Your Change books that kindled my interest in coins during the the late 1960's - perhaps like many other collectors of a similar age to myself. It was recommended to my me by my uncle, also a life long collector, and who indeed still is at the age of 92. Sadly I no longer have the books.

Aw, be fair Peck! eBay have only had since February or maybe March to tell everyone, so they have done their best to let us know asap! You can hardly criticise them for the fact that we'd have had time not only to bolt the stable door, but to knock down the stable and rebuild it six miles down the road by now ...can you? .

Mine was the 1968 "Part 2" - I've still got it, complete with all my biro marks against what I'd got

Everything sounds so much better in German.

As Peter says NNC is ebayer centiles who pricks up plastic slabs by the hundreds and throws a coin in and pflückst a grade from thin air

He was certainly a character and not really an all-that easy man to get along with. An anecdote I heard today: A young man that was employed by him in the 60s was discovered to have been practicing the boss's signature with intent to fraudulently use a stolen cheque book. It became a standing joke when Mr Marles remarked that they do 'Check Your Change' and that no one should have to 'Change Your Cheques'. The lad was arrested without making any financial gain.
