Move over Geoff, I think the trouble is that the whole thing is part of the celebrity cult and has nothing to do with sport>

Excellent news. I look forward to its publication. It's one I'll add to my library!

What's happening about the book we gave a preliminary proof read earlier? Hope it's still in the offing as I enjoyed the extract we saw!

Can we honestly say that this issue includes Maundy money when it has not been issued to the 'poor' at the ceremony? The Majestic 2006 Royal Mint Silver Proof Coin Collection http://www.westminstercollection.com/entry....aspx?Id=maundy

Hmm! My grandson has a metal detector, cheapy model, perhaps I'll 'play' with it sometime! Now where do I think those Celts lived around here!

Cracking coin, you lucky devil! I've always fancied trying my hand at metal detecting, but lack of field sites and other distractions have prevented this. Offa coins are not numerous and much sought after by collectors. Out of my legue though. I don't have an up-to-date catalogue, but a trip to the local library to look at the latest Spink Coins of England would give you an idea. My2004 edition gives the value at £750 in fine, but things have moved on. I'd put your coin at Fine, mainly because of the pitting but this is subjective and I'm sure there are masses of people out there who will drool at the sight! Congratulations on your find!

On top of the price, look at 'post & pack' price

You should realise, of course, that if he joins the forum and reads this your days of 'penny' farthings will be over!

Still can't post descriptions/classifications of coins.?

The hat is a relic of a Texan holiday! Ordinary pint would be welcome!

Just checked my coins with no defect, but then they are proof. Perhaps it's only those in circulation. (you don't say which of the two types of Brunell £2's it is?)

and here's me thinking this was a football-free zone. Ah! well, another refuge lost!

and you didn't offer me a pint!

Seems we are alone in the wilderness with a very shy lot!

Cheers!

Definitely a hard way to make a few bucks!

Move over, KV. If Blair appears on coins I'm emigrating to Russia!

Anyone who imprisons coins deserves the dreaded 'slab virus'. And, no, I didn't start it!

Amen to that!

I've used the expression "Only 11p to the shilling", now I know where it comes from! Miss-strike perhaps, or blocked die.

Are you using the usual intermediarys? The gallery on this site, Omnicoin, or Photobucket? They should transfer seamlessly.

It's not just the investment market that's going crazy. The Hammered Edwards in poor/fair condition are going for the prices paid for VF and better just a year ago. It can only be a surge in numismatism or more probably, just collecting. Have there been any TV programmes on the subject? That usually sparks extra interest in any subject! Remember the Art Challenge? There were hundreds of people walking around with pads, pencils, paints and easles for a few months.
