Of course you can. Use anything you like until you start competing with me

Why don't you write it in word, do a spell check and then paste it into here! Or, ask another question on the Invision forum.

Yes, I imagine it's very similar. Lets see if there are any replies then.

That's a 1951 Crown, so it contains no silver.

Yes, I had suspected that was the case.

I see what you mean. I think that would probably be complicated. If anyone has time, why don't you check out the Invision Power board web site, and see if there is a mod that does that.

Ebay is not always the answer! I have plenty of proper Nazi German coins (being actually in Germany). Here is a list I posted previously in another area of the forum: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/index.php?...=ST&f=19&t=1173

You shouldn't go paying much attention to young JMD's spelling

If gothic florins were still made, and readily available, I wouldn't be surprised to see them in a petrol station! Petrol stations have sold coins, I'm sure of that. Ridiculous Harry Potter items and the like.

Ok Berg, Email me and I can give you either a British or German bank details. cp@predecimal.com

I seem to remember about 3 times when I've noticed it, so there may well have been more. I don't look on ebay for coins that much. These days, everyone can sell anything directly can't they, and in a way that's a pity for all specialist trades because it makes it a little more difficult for them to acquire odd little items. Thankfully people generally can't be bothered to catalogue and identify whole collections for ebay, and there are some that don't bother, so the future is still rosy for coin dealers! I mean 50 year ago if you wanted a shirt, you'd go to a tailor. Now you can get one on ebay....Come to think of it, you can get one in a Supermarket or even a petrol station too! In fact everywhere you go you get bombarded with things you didn't really go there for! I digress.

Yes, they get them from the same people that Amazon.co.uk get them from. They are a stock item and should be in every Ottakars branch. I was quite pleased with that. I managed to get the email address of a lovely helpful lady at Ottakars, who was, with slight persuasion, able to get the man responsible to make them a stock item!

Euro is fine, but it would probably have to be cash sent to a German address. Which is usually fine.

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?!
