  1. A sole bidder could get a 20p coin for £2.24 but other poor punters are being fiddled big time.I won't report him/her because these buyers deserve it and maybe they will learn a lesson. We've all bought Turkeys & not just for Xmas
  2. I've bought several coins from him(two best offer & the rest normal auction)His grading is good but recently has ramped up his prices...I always have a look though.
  3. Makes mental note to go thhrough my change and get all the 20p's dated one side and £2 coins with neckless on the bay ASAP.If I can make nearly 50x face on these I may well retire by 2012
  4. A fool and his money..... There have been hundreds of these cons....it is no worse than worthless 1950/60 coins being snapped up for £2 or £3
  5. I have a few slabbed farthings which I would like to break out...but have decided not to and have put a note in their space's and keep all slabs away from my trays.
  6. I wouldn't touch Krause on British / Irish coins.....it is about as accurate as a Labour budget.
  7. You are welcome.. my collection is being reduced...I have hundreds of coins and notes tucked away but now its being reduced..I was always a date collector but now just keeping choice (apart from farthings ;)BTW a certain German supermarket are doing aluminium coin case's with 5 trays for £8.99...I'm tempted
  8. It is like gaming tokens...I've seen some go for over £50...I bought a job lot for a fiver (12 tokens).
  9. Good luck Clive we went past the mountain on our honeymoon...I'm type 2 diabetic and keep drinking wine and eating chinease which I suffer the next day.Well done for going for it...I've turned down the offer of a top restaurant tonight in the favour of eggs,toast and a bit of fruit.. ...and no wine. I've lost 3 stone and have got a dog to walk around the village..maybe it was a wake up call...
  10. I just use Peter123...safe as houses
  11. I was working in Norwich a few years ago and people with insurance were an easy deal...take it as read.I will never tell people of my £1,000,000 collection
  12. I prefer milky pillows...oops the wife has been seeing what a pervie site predecimal has become
  13. That's going a bit far Peter! A genuine VF 18KN should fetch £25 or so - there must be MANY collectors who want "above average" but can't afford EF or higher, and would cheerfully pay that. And I'd say the VF 1893 should at least be a few quid too. I think you're being too pessimistic. If you're not, then I will happily pay 99p to buy a GVF 1918KN off you Trouble is most KN's are from circulation and worth less than £1....I have also sold 1946 & 1949 3ds at 99p....back in the 70's they were worth more.
  14. I've had house insurance since 1987 and never made a claim....The only reason was the mortgage...Given a choice I wouldn't bother to feed some ruddy faced geek.
  15. Organ stops....
  16. both coins will be pence unless mint or nearly mint,,,I've sold many KN's at 99p
  17. In the eighties we were on a rugby tour based on the West Coast of Scotland...they locked us in There might be a few half English roses up there...we all did our bit I still get the xmas card and a big grin she is now probally a 20 stone munter ....I could and would of married her...then I met Mrs Irish Peter
  18. I get so exited I get Camera shake That is why my eldest does the pictures and dips into my paypal account at least once a week.
  19. I have about 12 slabbed coins but in my trays I've just written a note"better one in the slab box" the slab box consists of 1/4's farthings,3ds & florins...it would cost a fortune to have all slabs (any tips on breaking slabs appreciated). CGS slabbed a £90 coin and then wanted £150 for it...It had edge damage which was hidden by the slabbing...hence the majority of my coins will remain raw.
  20. I concur..... I will steer queer...jibber jibber....eyes rolling...looks like..no I must not.
  21. Jake the springer goes potty with anyone within 200yds of the house but when away we just seclude anything nice..plus the neighbours on both sides kill at 20 yards.AHH Suffolk.
  22. I will take my chance as we have a mental springer who guards us..when on hols I spread everything and I'cant face a bank.
  23. I/WE halve already paid ...young again..I get so upset...I fear for my daughters although I will pay for them and also scum bags.
  24. I dont't care for insurance....many will...but when on holiday we just split the coins over the house...plus my other bits...I will be buying quality G11 Furniture soon to keep the tax man at bay.....We have a great contact at bargain prices...we recently got a a huge bill for inheritance tax....NEVER again.
  25. 1 second that...have a nip of Chivas and put your feet up.
