    Try Collectors' Coins GB 2009 too, it doesn't repeat the same editorial each year, and is cheaper.

    You may find some nut to give you more money for them (you never know these days, there are lots out there), but personally I'd spend them, save ebay fees, save the hassle and put £10 petrol in the car!
  3. Chris Perkins
    Interesting, you wouldn't think it would be worth makes fake 20p's. The 'all silver' coloured coins are perhaps easier than nickel-brass or bi-metal.

    The hammerers were usually a bit lax with the die axis, they tend to mainly be quite random.
  5. Chris Perkins
    I can't see anything! But I suspect a little mark/dirt/ink that's barely visible won't really interest many note collectors. Go and spend it!

    Edward IV second reign I settled on Ed IV in the end I think. Spink no.?
  7. Chris Perkins
    Last one. According to the ticket: 'John Class 5b cut halfpenny of London. h(ENRICV(S REX). +ILG(ER ON L)VN.
  8. Chris Perkins
    A cut half penny. According to the ticket: 'Henry III Voided long cross Class IIIb of York. h(ENRICVS) REX.III. TOM(AS ON EV)ERW'.
  9. Chris Perkins
    Again, going on the ticket included, this one is an 'Edward I Class 3c Penny of London. Early S, drapery in one piece, hollowed at centre'. Correct attribution?
  10. Chris Perkins
    Going on the ticket that was included on this coin it is an 'Edward II Class 11b penny of London. Broken left spear head, e with angular back'. Is this correct?
  11. Chris Perkins
    Further back now. This is clearly a groat with annulet (circle) mint mark. EDWARD DI GRA and it's certainly a London coin. But which Edward/Monarch? I couldn't find one with annulet mint mark!
  12. Chris Perkins
    Another Charles I shilling. I couldn't find one in Spink that seemed to match this one. It appears to have a harp mint mark. Some flan damage, but it's still strong.
  13. Chris Perkins
    Next is a Charles I shilling, mint mark triangle, Spink 2797? There are a couple with triangle mint marks, is this correct?
  14. Chris Perkins
    I got these coins recently as part of 2 lots of mostly milled. The more recent hammered are fairly easy to identify, but for the older ones I've had to rely on the tickets they had with them! Perhaps you people can help me confirm the correct identity of the following coins. Also, if anyone would like to buy one, let me know. The first is an Elizabeth I shilling, mint mark bell, Spink 2577, agreed? A good quality coin.
  15. Chris Perkins
    Could do. I'd offer a fiver for it.
  16. Chris Perkins
    Thanks. It has slight wear and signs of contact with other coins, as you'd expect for a coin that has circulated for up to 10 months. I'd pay £50 for it.
  17. Chris Perkins
    Can you also post a picture of the other side?
  18. Chris Perkins
    That same thing was also reported here a few months ago. I believe it is a '1' and probably (I don't know if the Royal Mint confirmed it) is some kind of die number. I've not been able to find one myself; how much do you want for it?
  19. Chris Perkins
    Yes, I've had lots of contact recently about the 20p and the NEW PENCE 2p's. And as ever, the public have got it all wrong and are trying to sell me normal 2p's with NEW PENCE on them that are not from 1983. Little bit annoying, I may as well make a recording and play it when people phone!
  20. Chris Perkins
    I think it's most likely that the date has been re-punched as the 6 also appears slightly doubled. An excellent choice of book though, make sure you get one every year now
  21. Chris Perkins
    I'd only google.de and google.co.uk, which I expect you've already done!
  22. Chris Perkins
    Yeah, it's probably as rare as the undated 2008 20p! Put it on ebay and see if you can get 7 Grand for it!
  23. Chris Perkins
    The Northumberland shilling has got the King on it.
  24. Chris Perkins
    The Mk1 version only ever works with quarter lights that you can angle at your face! My age is about the same as the temporature here at the moment (in Celcius, obviously). Del is probably already on the Fahrenheit scale!!
  25. Chris Perkins
    All those factors from damage to the all important eye-appeal are covered in the book!
