Peter

Same to you John.After the luxury of Xmas a bit of toast with an egg....although a little dip in the wine cupboard

Buy a few books and just buy the best you can afford.One in Kate Bush is worth two in the hand...although she hasn't weared well.

Mrs Peter has a big stick and her thrust is awkward.I shall be cooking,cup of tea duty and maybe a little more

My best have been Bowie at MK bowl.Ian Dury at Ipswich and the Ramones at Cambridge.A little bit of green always made it special.

Now there is a man who is bored over Xmas/New Year

I note Rob has a mention at the start of the book...silver? I would like it to be split into hammered,copper/bronze and silver. I don't buy the bugger every year....sod post decimal. Gold is based on bullion which can never be accurate.

Lashings of ginger beer all round...those first dripping buds were always too strong for me.I spent a night speaking to a horse. My steering wheel home after a Tree fair was bigger than the London Eye.That was a long time ago.

You're not on your own! I had also starting looking through a couple of my old images to see if I could pair anything up! Doh! Me too - I've had Freeman for a mere 34 years and only just realised it had that Appendix III He said you used to make him a bit sore Peck the Kidneywiper

I treated myself to 4 1/4d's and a brace of 1d's from the States I also got the 2013 Spin. I haven't started on photographing my collection yet.

Shame it is in a plastic coffin.

Get your fingers working PROBALLI...anyways Hoppy Xmas you old Jock

Dereck Things can only get better. My daughter brought home a kitten...we feed it and wipe its arse. Trouble is that Mrs Peter and said kitten are one. Kick them both out

After I have a skinfull I tend to buy more.That coin I have been mulling over gets bought.

I'm still going ...JUST.A big bird to pick up this morning and Mrs Peters mum to pick up soon.Happy Xmas to all

Yep A peaceful and huge welcome to all.Lets not be strangers over Xmas...we all need a break.

Robs yer man I believe both were NVF 1967 pennies

Avoid China and India...Hang about list US and Canada,Aus & NZ plus Western Europe....stuff the rest.India....ARRGGGGG nightmare.

If she could Understand farthings Understand me Cook a little bit better wear more silky PJ's I could add many more

Thanks SHE WAS MS69

Don't get stressed out for £310...it really isn't worth it. Name and shame and what goes round comes round.

Heritage Auction (World Coins) the one after January is April 17th , then September. The coin will need to be submitted to PCGS Paris. Balwins,Dix Noonan,Knightsbridge & London Coin Co are Agents (anyone live nearby or has anyone got a good contact?)_ I did pick up a slabbed PCGS florin MS65 from the UK.(not PCGS prices but UK unc) This maybe the way to go in checking any PCGS graded coins at non internet auctions. I've googled PCGS UK and on a forum one poor chap paid over $200 for slabbing and then had to pay $100 border tax to get his coins back. Methinks we need a bit of research.

Right The idea is implanted. Say we went for a raw Silver UK coin max price the team buys at £500.Expenses say 20% for slabbing etc. £600 should cover the cost. If it fails to get in the slab just put it back in the raw market. Food for thought over Xmas chaps. Before we close a deal and start PM's who would want in?6 would be ideal. Which coin shall we go for? 6d,1/-,2/-,2/6,crown? Rob's selection would give me confidence on his nous and grading ability. or pick a Predecimal/Cooke/Snowdon/Riley/Lloyd Bennet/Ebay!!!! coin. It could be fun Keep the thread going before we go underground. £100 investment which will be worth at least £75 and the sky is the limit.

Hi Nicky Seasons greetings to you. Try various google searches. Keep entering hobbit coins and lord of the rings into the main coin Ebay search. Good luck Be patient.
