    We're not doing as well as I though we would do in the horse events.

    I know, I am confused, maybe the owners of the sets had boxes made for them?

    I have seen early 19th century maundy sets in really old and tatty boxes (all undated).

    I am not sure why he has put it at that price. He told me that he paid £175 for it and told me that I could have it for £210. I don't quite believe he paid £175 for it though, next time I see him I will tell him that just becuase I am young dosen't mean that I am stupid!

    If only....... I am getting a bit fed up with many in-experianced collectors and even in some cases dealers who haven't got a clue with what they are talking about. (Not you Chris)!!!!!

    Colin even had cartwheel patterns made in honour of the sale of the Dr. Nicholson collection.....

    I have not been looking even though I knew about the prize. To find new varieties you really need a few high grade examples of the years you would like to find a new variety of and I can't do that at the moment....... I suspect Colin has been looking endlessly and if he hasn't found any it will be very hard for anyone else to.

    Have fun at the ANA Coppers!

    I have seen dealers sell coins recovered from a battlefields etc. The history is facinating but I would only buy a coin that apealed to me. The history would take second place, I guess that may be the reason why hammered doesn't interest me!

    It's ok for me because I can just get into London on a £2.60 travelcard for a day trip!

    Are you going by car then Oli because it will be very expensive on most other methods of transport?

    Go to the London Coin Fair in november, its better than all of the sights and sounds of London put together! It would be good to meet up with anyone who plans on going.
  15. Half Penny Jon

    Cor I'd love a bag of 1902LT halfpennies!
  18. Half Penny Jon
    I am, along with an estimated 4 billion others!

    So do I but I would much rather prefer attractive copper toning to a bright shiny silver coin which looks more like a sparkling button than a coin.

    Also, if there is a little dot between the "O" and "N" in "ONE" then it is rare.
  21. Half Penny Jon
    I don't know if my one is "dirty" as such but my 1931 halfpenny has mixed tones and speckles around the legends and making it very appealing.
  22. Half Penny Jon
    I am just curious......how are coins kept in UNC condition even after centuries? Are they just kept in a drawer or something...........?
  23. Half Penny Jon
    It seems to be the Greeks and the Americans who are the worst offenders this year (no offence to any americans on here).
  24. Half Penny Jon
