They occasionally go for as little as £8 on eBay if you are prepared to wait a bit. Otherwise Lloyd has it listed at £18 (which I believe is new, if in stock): http://www.coinsofbritain.co.uk/pages/books/books-details.asp?ID=5

No, not my thing - just wanted to know what I had. But I'm quite pleased with the knowledge I've acquired in doing so. Yours is an Egyptian 20 piastres, 1923 (1341 AH). I couldn't have told you that a month ago.

Many if not most dealers will welcome 'wants' lists from clients Wayne. However it'll come as no surprise that clients that regularly spend money will be remembered more quickly when that key coin turns up! Having said that, I've had some excellent help from some dealers (locating old sales lists etc) who I've not recently bought from. It's a business so keeping the customer is (usually!) a priority. So in theory your scheme could work. Some dealers even have a commission page on their website where they will list client's coins. It's certainly a safer step than going straight into trying to deal for yourself. Though a fair few dealers are, or have been, collectors too of course...

Agreed and i am uneducated

Nice find Brian and a nice coin

Hi Chris, it's decent actually!

Because they are selling an ideal, pandering to peoples' insecurities and need for reassurance. You don't have to, I wouldn't either, but a lot of people feel they need the service. Virtually every business on this planet is surviving because they do something that the customer can't/won't/can't be a***d. For that there is a fee. Just think of all the consultants out there................... Every day I get three of four junk mails promising to put me at the top of Google's front page. That's either a lot of dosh, or isn't going to happen given the desire for the millions of businesses also trying to be seen.
