Master Jmd

i meant the era of coinage...the non-coinage era was very interesting yes

spinks matt proof example

Tin...hmm...i think that i will have to see about that when i get to that stage...tin has to be in a realy high grade to be properly appreciated (in my opinion), and high grade tin is expencieve

hmm...this is a hard one to answer... Well, i am currently collecting farthings from 1902-1956 in no less than 'Brilliant Uncirculated Full Lustre' condition (unless it is Ext.Rare)... When i get onto Victorian Bronze (1860-1901) then i will probably also go for the BUFL examples...Victorian Copper (1838-1859, 1860 and 1864) however will (to me) probably preferably collected in GEF-UNC... I will probably skip most of the George III-William VI (1760-1837) because they do not really appeal to me... When i get to Anne-George II (1713-1754) i will probably aim for GVF-UNC, but only UNC if it looks nice... When i get to Charles II-William III (1672 (skipping patterns) -1702 (was it 1702? (have no book at hand))) i will aim for Fine-GEF... if i manage to get to the hamered examples from James I - Cromwell (1613-1658) then i suppose i would not care much about grade, but about eye appeal... ...i hate modern (1838-1956) coins in a grade less than EF...i prefer my older (1662-1714) coins to look as if they fit the date that is on them

well...i dont actually have a coin of theirs both at the moment... maybe its just the era ... anyway...i do not like their coinage...whatever he reason may be

hmm...i would agree about F-...it is too 'young' to be a fine

i managed to find bbc 3 counties radio yesterday, and i heard your talk chris...

Happy Birthday

do they/he have a website? (Found it: here)

they are all basicly the same (bull head types (i think))...i do like the obverses of George III's 1771 coins

Hmm...it is quite nice, but the edge knocks are a bit of a bum...hmm...i dont really like George III, George IV and William IV obverses...i shall have to give it a miss i think

may i ask where are you getting your 1902LT?

hehe...looking through my few coin books i can say that: 1888 1903 1964 1964 1979 2003 2004 2004

Its very nice...

its valued at £18 by spink 2004... hmm...are the across bars of the E in GEOR connected?

Whats your oldest coin book?... mine is 'The Young Collector, English Coins And Tokens' published in 1888.

You do not need to use the CODE tags; example, firstly i use (spaces used to not confuse it): [ FONT = Times ][ SIZE = 14 ] then i: [ FONT = Times ][ SIZE = 14 ]Hello this is a test then i: [ FONT = Times ][ SIZE = 14 ]Hello this is a test [ / FONT ][ / SIZE ] it finishes: Hello this is a test

You are getting there

So true

Thanks william - I'll keep trying - here goes! nearly there... ...you have to close the Font and Size tags

can you spot any faults in this one?

To use smilies you can either click on the smilie(s) you want that are on the side of where you type a post, or use 'smilie commands' ( : + o = ) To Change the colour of some words you must use the Dropdown menu above where you type the posts or use HTML codes

There is a quote button above each post

here (its easier to see if you copy it to MS Word and make it bigger ) It helps sometimes

Good Good...my collection is begining to doubt that its new home will arive before summer holidays are over
