Bah humbug! Just give me the prezzies and some beer. At least I can start commenting ‘evenings getting later’ from tomorrow. I try to be the first. And I do like New Year. But I gladly send my Best Wishes to you all. Jerry

Merry Christmas to one and all from Australia. May your collections grow in 2025.

And may you all have a healthy and prosperous new year . Terry

Merry Christmas, and many thanks to everyone who has supplied pictures for my websites. Richard

I can't say I really have much time for Christmas anymore, but I am happy to wish you all the very best for the season and a prosperous and successful New Year!

Yes. Best Seasonal wishes to all.

Merry Christmas all. May your collections grow, your lives prosper and your 2025s be uneventful but pleasant. 🌲

Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas .... and once again many thanks to everyone for their help and support Best Regards

Ditto to you all. My 2024 wasn't good, and this Forum helped a lot!

Yuletide felicitations to everyone. I hope 2025 is a happier and healthier year for all, and that we all manage to find a little unnoticed gem tucked away in an auction catalogue somewhere.

Merry Christmas to you all, and wish you all have a happy and healthy new year!

And to you, Terry, and all forum members!

An historical query: As posted elsewhere I recently acquired a 1739 Crown. When I showed it to a friend, who also collects, he immediately said that the 1739 coins were made from silver from the Combe Martin silver mines, which is fairly local to me here. I have done a little research online and have found no mention of this. There is plenty about the Combe Martin silver being used for coins during the Civil War 1647-1648. Anyone know any more or have any reference they can point me to? A picture of the coin to make it more interesting:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Poetically put. Exactly what I wanted to say but I struggled with the correct wording. Hence the short post. Christmas Day off and back to work Boxing Day. Suits me fine. I echo Paddy's sentiments.
