    i'm assuming the tickets are more collectible than some coins, do they have that smell of age to them ? love picking up old books and getting a whiff of the past if that makes sense lol

    i have the north book i use along with spinks and the little paperback books by Christopher wren, not seen the book you mention, will have to look it up, have so many books that i need a drawing room to keep them in, still need to get the henry III voided penny book by churchill - thomas and learn the new classifications,

    thats the class i gave it 4a, not sure the finds liaison officer got it right, the amount of stunning cut halfs i've found on this particular field is unreal, always thought when a whole one turned up it would be just as stunning, was a bit disappointed tbh, still a nice coin though and happy to add to my collection

    i like a little Ebay flutter now and again, in fact its pretty much where i buy all my coins form these days, picked up this nice 1937 proof florin for just under a score, i was the only bidder, has a few marks on the obverse but its better than the one have already, my pictures don't do it justice
  17. craigy
    there are some subtle differences between the standard 3 d's and the maundy ones that look alike in Edward VII's reign and before, angle's of the rim etc, a good book to buy is silver pennies and linen towels by Brian Robinson, goes into great detail about issues and dies telling proofs from standard etc, gone up a bit in price now, i got it when it was first issued, great book though isbn 9780907605355
  18. craigy
    no shame in asking, thats how we learn things, better to ask then to never know ;0) and make a costly mistake as i have
  19. craigy
    This the standard 3d from the 1937 proof set, just trying to find a picture of my 3 d proof maundy
  20. craigy
    Bought this awhile back knowing it was a forgery, i like the fact its of its time and not modern, interesting piece of History, paid about £7 quid for it
