  1. Do you want us to buy direct, or pester Smiths again?
  2. No mention in my books. But another coin nut on the forum may come up with something!
  3. So it's you I'm bidding against?!?!
  4. As the serrations are irregular, I'd suggest a manic teenager with a file!
  5. I agree - to a point. Some of the 'reputable' dealers are riding high, with prices to match. And now I find that ebay, to some extent, is trying to match the dealers. Perhaps they use the dealer's site as a reference for the price ceiling?
  6. It would help if you registered. Then you could post a picture
  7. I think you are on the wrong site! Perverts.com perhaps?
  8. OK! Done!
  9. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b240/geordie582/Coins001.jpg]Wren's Book://http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b...Wren's Book I've changed the picture host, as I thought Omnicoin inappropriate!
  10. I thought the members struggling to identify hammered pennies would be interested in my latest purchase. It purports to be for beginners, but is extremely useful in the field of hammered pennies. Wren's book
  11. Strange to see one of the thousands of commemorative Coronation coins without an advertisers name!
  12. H Heaton mint KN Kings Norton Mint You don't have to speak chav on this site - you are not paying.
  13. Both of those bring back memories of my early service int he RAF - and Brasso!
  14. It's hard to give a value on Indian coins as they were still hammering coins into the late 19th century, so they all look old! The last one I tried to get valued, I'd put at 13-14th century, turned out to be common and minted 1890!
  15. Seems my linked site has been removed. Pity, as it advertised an English Charles VI coin. (a Charles I 6pence)!
  16. For identification of Indian coins I can reccomend this site. An Indian doctor who's study6 of the States coinage is tremendous. He can be e-mailed, but as a practicing doctor, he may take a few weeks to reply. I have found him very helpful. Indian Coinage site
  17. Hammered coins with 'bites' out are acceptable to me. I could never follow my hobby if I collected only whole VF coins - I haven't won the lottery yet! <_
  18. I voted For the Maklouf portrate, by the way!
  19. Second thoughts! The reproduction of the photos in the link have shown annulets in 4 quarters of the reverse! These are not apparent on the coin!
  20. Edward III linkOK! Peeps! Here is the problem. Nowhere in Spinks or Coincraft does this coin appear. Points I'm trying to find are:- Single annulet stop. Annulets in only two opposite quadrants of the reverse. All on a London minted coin. Has anyone any thoughts or can point me to an identification? I tentatively have this as a Fourth Coinage (Pre Treaty) variation Class G, but I'm really guessing!
  21. Isn't the comparison over such an age range of the monarch a bit pointless? Or are you comparing Quality of the artist's reproduction of the real queen at the time? For instance:- The reproduction of Churchill on the crown was accurate and conveyed his character but the portrait as a coin subject was abysmal!
  22. No Comment!
  23. Sorry! It looks as though the article on the Ancient Coin Market site has been removed! It was entitled "Roman Imperial Coin Denominatios" by Doug Smith, and gave the historic and political background to each denomination! Shame it's not available! Chris should have some useful books. (Rotographic)
  24. Hi! Fraggle. Welcome! A couple of web sites might fit your requirements Roman Britain and Roman Denominations I've used them often and find they answer most questions.
