I love this forum!

I know, this is a link to some eBay auctions. But I'd like to think I'm not the sort of eBay seller that people have bad experiences with (check my feedback) and you've probably seen me lurking here - I'm a hammered man and so don't have much to contribute to the Latest Acquisition thread except drool! But anyway, I've listed some nice bits that should interest you. 1979 Proof Gold Sovereign. 1889 Inverted 1 Double Florin. 1887 Halfcrown. 2004 Eagle Dollar. 260+ Victorian Pennies. You can see them here. If you have any questions, please do ask away. Many thanks, Clive.

Good luck!

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.

The photos make it look like an odd English 24-pence! It's a lovely coin, though, and I just wished I collected Charles I. Good luck with the sale.

I don't know the exact figure as receipts and invoices are all over the place - but well in excess of 100.

I always knew Churchill had a way with the ladies.

Not me. Did you, azda?

This software has found most of my files, need to buy it though before i can retrieve them, just hope it actually does let me have them after i've paid though Fingers crossed!

It sounds like something's become corrupted. What I would say is don't format it just yet. Perhaps try it on a different OS, maybe even a Mac if you can. If that doesn't work then I'd recommend trying a recovery program, something like this. Best of luck with this, Azda!

Imperial is at number 14 in the 2012 table... whereas Durham is at number 3 followed by LSE and Bath. Not that it generally matters as these league tables differ vastly from one to another across the publishers and each one takes into account different things. Best of luck with your daughter's interview!

What do you think about Durham? The Sunday Times league table ranks it at #3 and catching up quick to Oxbridge!

Isn't the London Coin Fair on 19th November, at the Holiday Inn Near Russell Square Tube Yes, and it's well worth a visit. More details can be had here.

I hear you, Richard. I'd love one of those in my collection.

It's clear that this is a 17th century imitation of the coinage of the future.

Number 4 probably isn't as pricey as you would think - well, not as pricey as the other four.

Thank you ever so much, Colin! Your wishes and donation are much appreciated. I would also like to thank all of those who have donated, your money really is going to a good cause as it will provide much needed funds for Save the Children and all of the valuable work that they do. All the best! Kindest Regards, Clive.

Your pictures are very pixelated to see anything on it, i think you have böown a very small picture to the extreme and has therefor distorted the image I do not believe that brilliant images are needed if coinquest asked for "info about trade dollars"... So, here is a link that provides some concise information that might 'enlighten' you: http://silvercoinand.com/british-trade-dollar.html

Vicky Silver, I have a feeling that you will get some questions answered here as the members seem much more engaged and knowledgeable in world currency. It is an interesting proof set though and I would love to know the outcome of your enquiry too!

I like it, it makes for more amusing reading.

Not really my thing either. At a guess, I'd say Indian kingdom coin?

Sure. That's why they now have a 10% market share (up from around 2% some years ago). That's why they are now worth more than Microsoft. That's why they run Windows games faster than PCs do. That's why Windows imitates OS X more and more with every new release. That's why they have the largest market share of laptops of any individual manufacturer. Sure. Everyone hates them, that's why. Never said everyone hates them, just correcting the post to reflect my opinion.

Peter thing? There is a regular, friendly user here called Peter...
