I know- not what I expected in the 'tin of coins'.... My friend had a very colourful artistic full life, and died an hour after doing the Telegraph crossword... oh that we could all end our days that sharp....

I'll put up some more- my friend died at 97 and I'm helping her family have a sort out. If any are wanted, I'll take offers- say, one week and then I'll see who's offered what...I'm a penny man, so silver values are an unknown. Shall I do a running count? I'm not getting a penny of this- I'll ask for payment into her daughter's account, if that's all right. Any suggestions? I have more to put up if it all goes well.. B

I've been wondering about this one.... It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report, and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections. I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure..... It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail. Will the edge knocks detract from its value? I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....

Mmm..Devil's Advocaat...my favourite cocktail. Except Tequila Mockingbird, obviously....:)

Ha! Is a saw a very thin file? Where does one stop and the other start? Is one car 'traffic'? Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc.. All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall. I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....

Best get her a job with a grading company then!!!!!

Pete- I was going to 'like' your post, but I thought it looked good for you to have a reputation of '666' a little longer....:) Nice of Mark Florida to show the other side of slabbing......hmmm...maybe, just maybe, I'd use a certification body, if i was a dealer, but for now I'm really happy with Allen's excellent grading book......

It needs a hole in it to be a washer. Mind you, a washer is only a very very short pipe......

Hi Kev I'll be putting some silver - a bereavement pile- on the For Sale section as soon as. May be something for you in that lot. I know there's a nice 1887 florin, 2 double florins, and a beautiful 1908 half crown etc... B

Hello all. After a bereavement (97!!) , the family I work with asked my advice. they have some Vic/Ed/GV silver, which I'll put on here, but there is a pile of Netherlands silver- 1840's to WW1 era, 2 1/2 Guilder downwards. Also some 19th C. U.S. Indian head cents and 5 cents. Is it worth putting on here, or is it better to suffer the slings and arrows blah blah on Fleabay? I'm trying to get the family the best return..

I had this fall out of a tin of coins today- is it a coin or a button? it's 26mm diameter, but under 2mm thick. The crown looks vaguely scandinavian... B

Or those alphabet letters in the sweet shop......:)

What I had was a text clipping- a highlighted section from an email....
-
