  1. He is even selling models of himself!!https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Outstanding-Roman-Statuette-with-Phallus-c-100-AD-466/272975939942?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

  2. If a £1 coin is worth £3K and the Daily Mail costs 65p (surely something wrong!), then pro-rata, that's about right. I wouldn't value a copy of the Mail any higher than the implied 0.0216666p price. In fact I'd probably still feel ripped off.

  4. this is the most interesting one for me, the royal mint museum say " There are many instances of artists actually placing their own features on the faces of subjects in a painting or sculpture and if a comparison is made between the portrait punch illustrated here of the St George from the 1935 Silver Jubilee crown and the photograph of the artist Percy Metcalfe it is possible, as was known at the time, to discern more than a passing resemblance. The clipped hair, the angular profile and the shape of the neck all suggest Metcalfe was doing more than creating a powerfully modern depiction of St George and the dragon, he was in addition subtly and wryly finding a place for himself on the British coinag"

  5. At least half of his many wares are modern fantasy pieces and fakes, all claimed as ancient, and he has massive positive feedback. He has the same supplier as Saxby I suspect. I have little sympathy for the idiots who buy this tat, but really he belongs behind bars. Jerry

  8. Bull also has some proposed issues for which numbers are given with no actual coins known. Also a small point but some of the later (George V through George VI) "VIP Record Proof" and "Matte Proof" bits are incorrect. PM if further info might be required.

  9. I recommend the FT. No tabloid gossip, hyped up crap for effect or sport. In short, a newspaper that has the temerity to write informative accurate articles. Costs multiples of the tabloids and would be cheap at double the price.
