  1. I know it was, i was surprised that JMD thought that there was something wrong with the era.
  2. Uncirculated coins have a lot of history.......they have probably been traded and put in collections....maybe even famous ones! I collect BU's because the lustre and the detail of the coin just appeals so much to me......i don't find 'Fine' coins that attractive regardless of whether it is rare or not.
  3. What's wrong with the era!!!!!!
  4. The threepence did go into circulation by accident.......it is very possible.
  5. In this month's coin news, it features the story of a collector who, when he was an 11 year old boy, got an Edward VIII brass 3d in his change! He recalls thinking to himself that he had never seen one before when he saw it for the first time! He did the worst thing he could have done......he spent it at the sweet shop! I wish I could get one in my change!
  6. Happy B'day Will, did you get any coins?
  7. I don't think the bare head and the bull head are similar, it's only my opinion though
  8. He said that it should be up and running by the end of october.
  9. I like those observes! Especially the bare head.
  10. There's an edge knock otherwise it'd perfect.
  11. A secret contact who specialises in halfpennies! No, it's Saltford coins, but they do specialise in halfpennies. He told me that it the best one he has seen.
  12. Books are not at the top of my priority list at the moment. Getting together the funds for my reserved 1902LT is! It shouldn't take me more than a month hopefully. If I did get a numismatic book then I would just get a Peck.
  13. Mines only 2002 too! That's when I really started to get serious about collecting.
  14. That has to be one of, if not the best example avaliable to commerce. The catalogue value should not apply in this case. I reckon it will make around £4500. Before this the best one I saw was UNC Lustre.
  15. I have not got an old book yet. I hope to get a Peck next year.
  16. It looks about VF, it's an attractive coin.
  17. Gently clean it with soapy water, that should reveal some of the design if it isn't too corroded.
  18. Another coincedence! Are you two related?!
  19. The only pedigrey cabinet I would be interested in would be Pecks, or Freemans (I doubt I would be able to get them)!
  20. 1936 is really as modern as I would go as far as bronze goes.
  21. Doh! There's the link now in the origional post.
  22. You have depo's Chris! Cool!
  23. Hi everyone, Could anyone tell me why this cabinet being sold on Ebay is going for over £250? It's just a Mascle standard! HPJ. Edit: Link: My Webpage
