  1. I'll be taking 24% for bringing this to your attention.
  2. I hope you gentlemen like a good bargain...
  3. All realised prices are now on their website. Lot 1051 sold for £6,000 before buyer's commission.
  4. Not I but I really wanted that Barnstaple. It was such a pleasing example but I'm not willing to pay way over the odds.
  5. Whilst it is true that many coins attracted a more than premium price I felt that many of the lower grade Aethelred IIs were going for pittance. It just goes to show that the market for common, average pieces is not going to catch up at the rate the rest of the market is. Still, it was a fantastic selection of coins in today's auction and I was lucky to walk away with a few.
  6. Paulus, It's an Elizabeth I penny, minted at London, of the 6th Issue with the initial mark being a crescent. This would date it to 1587-9. Hope this helps. Clive.
  7. Is there a chance to have some better pictures?
  8. I've seen the whole set for sale at £82.50 here. It seems extravagant for what is essentially £14.50 in face value.
  9. You can find out the name and address of any eBayer, it's part of eBay's policy. It's very easy and bear in mind that they, in turn, will get your details too - but this shouldn't be a problem if you've already bought from them.
  10. I can definitely vouch for the seller. Martin's a top gentleman.
  11. There was a type IV found back in 1998 - it's in that year's BNJ and is on the EMC too.
  12. Yes but, as I said, many coins like this are found each year that are 'unique' with regards to new types, new moneyers, new combinations, etc. I don't see them on the website.
  13. It's a lovely coin but I don't understand how it made the BBC website. So many coins like these are found each year. Even so, if it's going spare...
  14. It's a penny of Charles I.
  15. I'm glad you said most. We're not all like that, I can assure you.
  16. Happy birthday, gents!
  17. I made it but only looked at the Saxon and Plantagenet. I wasn't taken by those and so didn't bid. A nice atmosphere, as you say! You do hear of many stories regarding people switching the coins around. Numismatics is such a trust-based area that it's a real shame when people try to make a quick buck like that.
  18. But he hasn't got an oar, he's Oaralus times 2. A very interesting coin, Azda.
  19. I should be, assuming everything goes to plan.
  20. Welcome to the forum. From the small pictures, it doesn't appear to be a coin but rather a toy coin. I could be wrong but you might see some familiar examples here.
  21. I don't know the exact figure as receipts and invoices are all over the place - but well in excess of 100.
  22. I always knew Churchill had a way with the ladies.
  23. Not me. Did you, azda?
