I've just spent $20 on a truly horrible coin, but it filled my last gap in the series of French bronze 10 centime pieces (1852-1921) The 1878 K Bordeaux mint has a recorded mintage of 100,000, but probably the vast majority were dated 1877, and is the rarest of the series (Ok there is a very rare variety of 1897 - 3 known) much harder to find than the 1871 K (mintage 26,500) and catalogues at €150 on Good (B10) I tend to buy interesting coins by type these days, but at heart I guess I'm still the one trying to fill all the gaps in my Whitman folders

Hi All I would just like to say a massive thanks to this forum. I have only just came back to the hobby about a year ago after about nearly 20 years. I have found these forums a fantastic source of information and expertise as well as very friendly. I must also say a massive thanks to Pete who as been absolutely brilliant giving advice and help with both my queries and my collecting. A great guy who is always very straight to the point. a trait I admire. Cheers Brian

Glad the coins arrived safely. Be lucky. Pete.

I echo your thanks to the forum, it has been a great source of learning for me too!

I think Labour are a dead dog with all the designer crap and loans to buy a new car at £149 per week at huge %. We all want to keep up with the Johnsies. Live within your abilities. Ban payday loans and unsecured credit. I will never trust a Labour pack of twats. They must reform. Maybey a Tory/Socialist/Green party might work....TSG
