You can't put a kid down for trying!

Is that 6p yours? I'm jealous
-
Strange people around!

I guess this is officially the end...
Geordie582 replied to Sylvester's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Congratulations! But try not to end up as one of those taxi drivers and dustmen you find with firsts! -
I've printed out the list of purchasers and will use it as reference. perhaps other members should do the same!

The groat was first introduced in the reign of EdwardI (1272-1307) copying the french 'gros'. It appeared sporadically after then, still being produced today in maundy money.

I find it a good synopsis of individual country's coinage but the omissions are puzzling!
-
I came across, and bought, a book called "The Coin Atlas" byTime Warner Books. I am intrigued to find that the publication, though quite comprehensive in some respects, omits the likes of Canada and Turkey. There are probably other countries left out, I haven't finished looking at it. It seems odd that a notable publishing company should pass a purported comprehensive reference with such omissions! Anyone else come across it?

Touche!

I guess the topic and description above says it all!" I can't get a lot of the pictures posted on the US site. Am I being thick? or do they have a secret format. 'Properties' just show Http. Help!

AAAAAAH! Pity! I couldn't go anyway! Other committments

At 75, I'm going to art classes. Does that count, Chris!

I've got to admit to having all the to-date issued State Quarters! But I was in Texas and there wasn't many hammered silver about!

This is going straight into my collection!

Tell him to drill a hole in it and hang it around his neck - tightly! -
I meant suspiciously perfectly preserved!
-
Suspiciously "uncirculated"? Sorry, I'm a sceptic of all hammered in this condition
-
It's D. I don't really collect these - just ammass! Thought youl'd be interested in what is still floating around the old UK!
-
Wonderful!
-
I edited my post to include the other coins i found, but perhaps you haven't seen the change? On my Omnicoin site!

The slabbing debate
Geordie582 replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I disagree! With the wealth of reference material available, it is very difficult to produce a convincing forgery - hence the collectors of counterfeits! -
Thanks Chris! It's surprising what you come across when "ratching"!!
-
So Holland, not Dutch East Indies? I've added a couple of more coins from the batch. The rest are post war.
-
As all coin collectors, I 'attract' various foreign coins from boot sales. junk shops and the like. This little copper intregued me as it has no country stated. I guess it's scandinavian, but trawling through Krause and Reinfeld books I can't find even one like it. Maybe I'm just missing it. Can you help? http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/899504.jpg

I'm always suspicious of "pretty" coins. There's so much you can do with a chemistry set!

Thanks Chris - I get their literature. I like to keep up to date with coins being produced, though I admit I have to wade through some tacky rubbish most of the time!
