  1. 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
  2. there is a round £ in the 2016 set with the shield, selling quite well on ebay, along with the shield 50p
  3. love the smile on his face haha, just noticed the goat hanging at the bottom of the reverse
  4. good luck with that, i just had this experience with a coin
  5. 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,
  6. 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
  7. interesting read, didn't know the little groats were so collectable. found a couple detecting, gonna have to dig em out now
  8. i like books full stop ;0)
  9. my first full one, i have it down as Richard I the museum people said 4b john when it went of to be recorded , Reinavd on cant
  10. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Identification-British-Century-Silver-Varieties/dp/1445753014/ref=pd_sim_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Q44VNWJTEYF4YP8TYTDM thats what i was gettiing confusedwith
  11. cheers was getting that confused withthe other book, silver coins of the 20th c, which i thought was a later ediion
  12. yeaah just managed to spot the 2 diiferent ones,
  13. can you cite any references, can't seem to find anything, there was a matte proof version that i was already aware of, but thats as rare as hens teeth
  14. i:ll look into that, cheers
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. This the standard 3d from the 1937 proof set, just trying to find a picture of my 3 d proof maundy
  19. 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
  20. Found 3 Edward pennies in the immediate area, bout 15 sq m, maybe a purse loss, if so my first medieval one
  21. little edward I farthing, CIVITAS LONDON
  22. i know what rendel has done he's looked at the one that sold 2 years ago on the london coins website which a a standard not the plastic type I points to space , its a standard proof, i told him this yesterday
  23. well get a shot later, never found one before
  24. an edward farthing, will get a picture of the finished article later
