Unwilling Numismatist

I bought the whole set of early strikes, I figured these might be a little bit hard to get and wanted a clean set. Unfortunately I think they will probably be minted in the billions. I just need to add some instructions for 5th generation Kev to open in the year 2200, and they might fetch more than a tenner.

I've applied for a part-time job in my local post office. If you can't beat them .... Not sure they'll accept my required hours though, 1 hour on the day newly minted coins are delivered.

if you click on the bids, then the bidder, you get to see how many bids the bidder has with that seller. Whenever that figure is 100%, you can certainly get a feel for whether you're being had or not.

Did you want me?

I... nevermind. Where's my coat?

Doesn't look like much 2 under that 3...

It'd be worth taking the euros out too. I keep all of the non bronze for my hols and dump all of the bronze in the airliens charity collection as it passes on the plane - I assume they get to move it on for real cash somehow.

Learn a new thing every day, only at predecimal.com 🙈🙉🙊

How very dare you! I am 100% NOT american. Partially Scottish, Irish and English with absolutely no American at all

Is the correct answer! No, I said: The area code was the thing that struck me almost instantly, I didn't even bother trying the domain name (although for comedy gold perhaps I should have purchased it and directed it right back to predecimal.com for 24 hours lol).

Not the right answer, but some points for the Texas thing.

Although it's a totally fake ad. Lets see who else can figure out why.

10 sold at 12.99 .... I feel a new marketing strategy is needed on my part!

Sense of humour on here ... thats a wookie mistake

Every oxfam I've been in refuses to sell, giving the same answer of "goes to head office". British Heart Foundation will sell you anything they have at a reasonable price. When the staff say they have no idea of value they mean it, but I'll always give them what I think is fair + some for charity too. - I often pay 3 - 5 x what they initially ask locally, as otherwise I'd be taking the piss. Sometimes in the job lots I get really lucky, but normally I'll break even taking that gamble.

Oxfam sends all of theirs to their head office where it gets sorted and sold online - normally they ask too much for what they're trying to sell imho. e.g https://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/stamps-and-coins/coins-and-banknotes/british-coin-collection-hd_101331173

I thought they'd done quite well on the Captain Cook £2, it has to be the best coin I've seen from them in a few years now. (probably many years tbh)

Just point out to one of the daily rags that these are like unicorns - and link them to the mintage figures and say it's worth 50k (Have you got one in your pocket?) .... It'd fetch a fair price then I suspect

lets hope it's a good update, and that they finish 2015 commemoratives too! And then add some 2016 goodness!

Oh, way back then they were, these newfangled kindle editions aren't so user-friendly a good old dead trees!

I think they're milking the golden goose just a little too hard. With so many "commemorative" editions every year now, it's getting to be extremely cost-prohibitive and time consuming trying to keep up - and when many of them aren't currency anyway, it narrows down the options for obtaining each one. @craigy a point well made above! I have some but not all, as yet - my £2 run is needing a top-up - but at 30 quid for 6 pounds, I'm startiing to lose the appeal!

Indeed, frustratingly correct, but I'm sure they could be a little less tardy.

Exactly the problem, I'd need to wait until 2019 edition to see what the 2017 figures are, and I really would like to see them published on the RM site much sooner - once a run is stopped, the figures really should go online. If they're going to be minting so many of these newfangled commemorative currency coins, keeping on top of which is actually the least common of the multitude makes a difference to what the budget gets spent on.

Thats not bad for a "rare" 1/2p . 1 of only 190,000,000.
