They are sent from Germany and it's either EUR2.00 via land, or EUR3.50 via airmail. Email me if you want one. You can also download it as a PDF, which I'll do for the same price as the printed version (but with no postage of course). cp@predecimal.com

Do we do a Swedish version yet Juan?

Not yet Chris...unless you haven't posted off my previous order yet? Unfortunately I haven't. I got the wrong size, and for some reason the correct one is taking a while.

Coins aren't normally help in flips in the UK! Judging by what I sell, most people use albums or coin trays.

Well you wanna have words with the person that sold it, if you can find them! If it wasn't gold plated it might be worth £5-20 perhaps. But as it's been gold plated it really stops being a collectable coin and becomes just an item of gold plated silver jewellery, perhaps worth a copule of pounds or so, I'm really not sure. It may be an idea to check if the mount is actually gold too!

I would imagine that the usual ways for copper would be fine. Do you want any? I think I have a couple just in.

Don't forget the rest of www.predecimal.com, lots of information in there too. Plenty of pictures as well.

Hello Berg, 'Bout time we attracted some foreigners (Juan, you're not foreign anymore ;-)). Perhaps we can convert you to collecting some British coins, or even better, perhaps we can persuade you to buy some of mine!

Kay, If it's gold, then it sounds like a gold plated silver jubilee head shilling to me. The jubilee head is unmistakable, the Queen has a ting crown and a veil, and is wearing a small brooch like medal thing. The sheild/date/scroll and wording you describe sounds just like a shilling. Does it look like a gold version of this: http://www.predecimal.com/forsale/7/shilling1887.jpg

I'm sure they do, if Dolf Lundgren is anything to go by! (is he Ukrainian?)

Yes, hello krasnaya

Impressive Geoff. So much fun and knowledge in one place, how can this be?!

Or even what about all the counties! That would be like having Conder tokens again, but probably too expensive to do coins from each county with a different design. The Pound coin of course is already something similar, with a difference reverse each year. Bridges now, but of course previously: Scotland, Wales, England, NI and the whole UK. Don't forget that America is much larger that the UK JMD.

I'd have a feeling that in that condition it would probably be worth very little. Although it was made during German occupancy, which is interesting. I wonder if the national Netherlands bank will exchange it for Euro?? (It's probably too old)

What wonderful dedication to be posting from across the pond, and with real numismatic related stories too. Salt of the earth you are, Geordie. Waaaay Ayyyy man, I bet they have a real problem understanding you over there.

That is without a doubt, the funniest thing you've ever said JMD. I am well impressed with you, young man!

Is your name really Horace Morris? I don't think i've ever known anyone with rhyming names.

Russian you mean?

Yes just about. You?

I'll take a bow. Yes, it does seem that way, certainly the most popular British coin forum.

Morocco, date is in arabic. It's very modern, French colonial, actually 1933AD in Christian dating. Worth about £10 in mint condition, just £1 or so if it's less than perfect.

http://www.predecimal.com/british_gold_coins.htm for size info. I can supply capsules for it, but they just come in 10's. 16 or 16.5mm should be big enough. It'll be worth more or less bullion value unless in mint condition, in which case probably a few pounds more.

It sounds like you're all over the place Anthony. Here are some tips: Think about what you want your website to contain, think about the URL, the webspace, plan things, perhaps on paper first, then launch something. Importantly too; learn about how to promote websites, keywords, search engine optimisation etc. You cannot simply create a website one day with no idea about the direction or the niche. To be a serious coin dealer you need to provide a website that coin collectors will find useful and want to re-visit. It doesn't necessarily need to contain many coins for sale, but it really needs to be well thought up, and have a direction. Yours doesn't, and it should never even have left your head until it did. The few people that visit your website in the early stages are among the most important....Any first time visitor is the most important type, because you want them to keep coming back. After about 100 visits, you've changed the domain name, so now the people that had taken the time to visit you will never find you again unless they read this thread....If I was one of them I wouldn't bother coming back! Any decent hosting package should include in depth statistics without the need for a pop up generating counter. To do it seriously you have to outlay money and be prepared to learn a lot. If you want to start any business you really cannot do things by half, you have to give it your all. The website contains broken links, you don't want any of those, get rid of them. The price structure is not clear (as previously mentioned), and I really don't mean to be rude, but your grammar and spelling is awful (as we have previously discussed). If you type too fast that's ok in an email, and even in a forum (to a degree), but on a published web page there is absolutely no excuse. You need to check things through before you save the page. Errors should never get to be seen by the visitors if you can avoid it. If you don't know how to puctuate very well, or spell properly, I would suggest that the most important step, before you even try to sell any coins, would be to learn. Use free info from websites, or do an English GCSE evening class. Whatever that costs it will be an asset for your whole life and will help people take you and everything you write more seriously. It isn't easy at first. In fact it's bloody difficult to build a popular website on anything. And you have a very long road ahead before you can give up your day job!

I think you'll find that Anthony has listed every single coin, but just has prices where he has a coin available.

And there is a George VI Canadian Nickel which is a very similar sized coin with 12 (I think) sides, and it's a very bright silver colour, so make sure it isn't one of those.
