    Looks like the Tsunami variety to me

    @Rob does have a point. I narrowed my subject down to Victoria and coins I like, and coins I buy and coins in presentation packs and sets which I also buy, plus some others and also odd job-lots. Plus a few bank notes. I try my best not to get involved in anything not directly British.

    Look up at the ad above

    I wouldn't bank on modern commemoratives giving you any wealth either now or in future. Many (as advertised on TV) are a complete waste of cash, but the general rule is, if you enjoy them and you're happy with what you paid, then that's ok.
  7. Unwilling Numismatist
    Welcome to the forum As you've already purchased some commemoratives, I'd say that you ualready found the starting point. I can personally reccommend reading through some of the posts here on the coins you like the look of to give you more info. The search box is your friend.

    That's why this is a "Take 2" . I originally thought I saw it, and checked somewhere else and thought I was bonkers, in the end I canned the first thread http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/12448-look-over-there/

    £3 Lol. No, thats why I'd be waiting for a sell for a quid maximum. That way I can set it up for a BIN without fear of the fees.
  10. Unwilling Numismatist
    Ah, but you have your finger on the pulse as it were, so you'd have a much better feeling for this market than I would going by fleabay or old LC sales etc. I guess I'll list it on fleabay soon (when I get a sell for £1 max email), but until then I'm open to offers.
  11. Unwilling Numismatist
    Awesome thanks Pete.

    Out of interest, what's it worth? I don't think I want to get into penny varieties yet, so it may well fund some more Vickies instead if it's worth it.
  13. Unwilling Numismatist
    Thanks @Paddy thats a great offer. Will PM you later(Tomorrow). I was only going through the grots to see if anything would fill a gap or could be re-sold when this one caught my eye, but it certainly won't hurt to fill another gap with a definite rather than a might-be-but-cr*p example I just fear getting sidetracked into penny varieties, it's a long complicated and not cheap road to walk!

    the other phrase was somewhat less gentlemanly
  15. Unwilling Numismatist
    Its quite worn.. or VF for Very Flat,. but is that the remnants of something, or a large portion of nothing?
  16. Unwilling Numismatist
    Thanks guys, some semblance of sanity has been restored Very pleased as that was in a £10 lot along with a couple of viccies I was far more interested in!

    In its brutally honest state ...
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    Looks like it had a piece of tape across the middle of it for quite some time. Other than that, a remarkably average example.
  20. Unwilling Numismatist
    I nearly started this one a while ago but decided I was seeing things. Anyway, without further ado ... Am I still seeing things please, and if so, what? ( I know what I think I see). A 1908 Penny Obverse for your pleasure.
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    Other than THANKS FOR BUYING, SUCKERS!!!!

    Anyone else have any input on the "cleaned" status of the above 3d please - I'm very interested to understand. Cheers!
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    I'm so glad I was on holiday and had no internet access. After a several nights of all inclusive I woulldn't have had a clue about april fools!
  25. Unwilling Numismatist
    As I'm the village idiot around here, could one of the wisened gentlefolk please let me know how you (or aforementioned grading company) came to the conclusion that this coin is "cleaned" please? I just don't see "it". Cheers!
