    I'm not a milled collector, but I've noticed, on Coinpeople, the fixation with "pretty" patenas., and I've been convinced that the colours are more due to chemicals than time!
  2. Geordie582
    As you obviously have Spinks, try looking at the Henry II "Tealby" issues and you'll see the problem.

    Any forecast on publication for the book, Chris? Could you send me one when it apears? (I'm fed up trying to get Smiths to stock Coin books)

    Grading milled seems to be more of a science than hammered, the latter being VERY subjective. I disagree with most dealers on hammered and wonder how much they would alter their opinion should they be buying from you! Experience is the only sure teacher, but it will probably involve a certain amount of mistakes, some even expensive!

    Looking good Chris, but I'd rather wait for the printed version, just to compliment my library!
  6. Geordie582
    Can't wait for the next scam! This is exciting!

    I'd guessed as much, but I've put one in my £2 series as a talking point! I wonder if I could start a rumour that 1992 10p's are REALLY RARE. I think I can lay my hands on a few!

    http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/2b/68/a0_1_b.JPG 1997 £2. Am I missing something here? I keep getting these things in my change>

    Ten pound of pennies?

    Wait until bending down becomes a major event! Then you'll know why Slip-ons were invented!

    Had a quick look at all books. High standard as usual. I like the new covers!

    It was a modern handgrenade (not the old pineapple) So that places it firmly in the last 50 or so years. The shape is not really an age indication. Wish i could find the picture for you, but no success yet.
  14. Geordie582
    It didn't work, though! Hence your coin!
  15. Geordie582
    All I can say is that it was 50p shaped and the seller described it as 50p, but that doesn't mean much! I think it was a token of sorts.
  16. Geordie582
    Yep! Definitely getting old! You've lost your "off"!
  17. Geordie582
    Welcome Joe! Saw a peculiar 50p on ebay last week. It was obiously a pattern or medal, but had a handgrenade motif! Unfortunately it must have been bought, as a quick scan reveals it's now gone! Know anything about it?

    You know you're old when you stop wearing lace up shoes

    There were so many "counterfeit" and Continental copies around at the time, people tended to cut a small piece out to test if the coin was, indeed, silver. Then, of course, there were the chancers that made a living of paring small ammounts off each coin that came their way, to sell the silver. Nice society, eh?

    OK! All you ancient collectors out there (No! Not YOUR age). Here is the thing that has puzzled me for a long while. Despite the kngdom of Reged being a forc e in its day, there are no attributed coins to the area. Urien and Owain were major players but, while their contemporaries were minting coins, there seems to be non coming from this area. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
  21. Geordie582
    I'd say Henry VI rosette-mascle issue of 1427-30 Mint of Callais. Spinks 1865. Value in my 2004 issue book is given as £30 in Fine. Your coin WAS VF but the missing parts will count severely against it.
  22. Geordie582
    We need a picture to be of any use!
  23. Geordie582
    Plenty of Rum ande coke and I didn't notice the temperature ( something like that)
  24. Geordie582
    Thank you all! Would you believe, I'm going to my daughter's house to try out her new Hot Tub - the temperature here at the moment is 85 degrees! Mad or senile I can't figure out which!
  25. Geordie582
    I've answered you on Coinpeople! I think Postumus and once silvered.!
