Good luck.

Perhaps it wasn't the best time to mention I have some trays for sale :-)

For a few months now I've been stocking a cabinet in the 'Sidmouth antique centre' so if you're down this way over the summer please come and take a look. In addition to my cabinet is another local dealer Tom who trades as 'Woosworld' so well worth popping in.

Thanks, 1949threepence. I'm chuffed to bits with it much prefer it to my old Lighthouse trays. Incidentally, if anyone is interested in any Lighthouse trays, message me.

Custom tray.

It took about 6 months to arrive but here it is 'Mascle' with custom panelled doors and 3 custom trays.

Hi Danz, I've just discovered another 1837 R over lower R.

I did an article on my blog back along that might be of interest to you. You can find it here.

Hi Declan you can find them on the facebook group ' British pre decimal coins only. Buy Sell Trade'. I think he has a few left.

I've finally gone ahead and ordered the cabinet with a few customisations. First of all I had three of the remaining four trays made up like the above example with a couple of modifications to allow more room around a couple of coins. As for the last draw I went for one with 14 holes that are 35mm wide to allow one hole for each of the above 13 trays to house tickets that may not fit in the other trays and any odd coins that don't belong elsewhere. So thanks for making that point Rob. At £6 per drawer extra It really was rather reasonable the cost of modifying the drawers.

PMSL what can I say but I like rocks and coins too but this is beyond stupid, ah well what do they say about a fool and his money?

Thanks Rob I guessed I'd have to keep them separate as the odd coin would have to be repatriated from a slab here and there, or kept elsewhere. Annoyingly this is a problem which I'm going to have to deal with but I love the cabinet set up, it feels very natural to me. I do catalogue my collection in MyCollection software which in my humble opinion is very useful. PS. Are you Rob Pearce with the lovely 1834 EF shilling that is obviously a higher grade than the 1834 aBU example on CC, although both priced similarly. Either way I appreciate your input massively and may be a future customer of your lovely shillings. Kind regards Andrew W

I've been fortunate enough to be blessed with a Peter Nichols 'Mascle' classic cabinet for my birthday. Although as I'm primarily a shilling collector I've realised I would require 10 trays with 28mm recesses to fit my shilling collection within 10 trays. As for the last 4 trays I'm hoping to get a custom arrangement which would roughly equate to a type/year set for each monarch of the modern milled pre-decimal eras. Here are my mock ups, be gentle chaps.

Did you ever get the pics you were after?

It wasn't a dig at Atlas as without doubt they have some beautiful coins, more so PCGS for grading it MS66+.
