What did you get for it ? £92.00. I don’t buy and sell them. It was my own copy which I had virtually never used. I'm mainly into collecting milled silver and for the copper and bronze that I do purchase, Freeman's book is quite adequate for me. The £92 went towards a vintage 1950's Hardy Altex fishing reel. I have a 11ft specialist rod and a pair of Wilson carp rods...all made by masterline and suit their purpose...the signature reel is crap though and prefer my Mitchells. Great reel maker, the rods are pretty mediocre though! Coupled with my Richard Warlker rods, these reels a great.

Dodgy feedback..... on Ebay it takes a lot of work to get under 97%

I will stick to the wife...if it ain't broke....

He seems a bit dodgy and in your face..I bought GVF which was NVF bit of G11 silver I won't bother again.

I would prefer the Beer festival

They are quite tatty but still good value.

Very 'Chris Yates' of you..... My fishing Idol. A passion for angling is probably my favourite programme...I can chill Wilson has attended a couple of village fishing nights and he likes the red...a great bloke and a mans man.

When I bought gold a few years back Sovs were £60/£80 so £200+ today doesn't tempt me.Maybe write down a series and collect the best you can afford....pennies have gone potty over the last year or so...halfcrowns seem a good bet with up to 1967 easy 1903/05 will cause a dent in your savings but will appreciate..I managed to pick up G V 2/6's in high grade for a low price

You will be lucky to pick up a decent copy for less than £100. It is a good reference but I don't use it all of the time.

My wife bought my Peck from Spink after every weekend I went searching for a copy...she can't cook but always expect the unexpected...sometimes it is best to bite the bullet...How many Pecks will you buy?

it is your amstrad with dial up causing problems I still have trouble with about blank which tends to slow up the pooter

Unless you are going to sell big money spinner coins don't bother...I could earn more at my trade(Quantity Surveyor) as I could as coin dealer in a day...We are lucky to have inherited a load of cash/property...must get back to the QSing as coins don't pay...I treat it as a hobby and that is what it will stay as. unless my 6 numbers come in tonight.

The images are so poor I won't bother with a 250 mile round trip...why the venders haven't gone to a proven coin auctioneers baffles me.

In the late 70's I can remember getting an 18% cost of living rise.Houses were £10k and a decent car £1.5k.You couldn't borrow money without proving you could afford it...I work with younger people who mostly are in debt.....If you can't afford it don't buy it...even around some of the poorer areas there are still brand new cars parked outside.

I very much doubt that you would be able to purchase a Pint or a Kebab these days for £3, let alone both! lol I remember as a youngster getting on the bus to Town and it cost 10p, the last time that I did the same journey it was £2.20! lol I went to the football at Ipswich when Mulleys bus was 25p entry to the gound 25p and a programme for 6p...this was in the 70's when you put your scarf around your wrist and we had propper bovver boys.Dr Martins with white laces were the bizz.

Ditto! I used to borrow 10/- off my Mum if I was going out for the night David When I was 16 £3 was enough to get into the social club disco...get bladdered and finish off with a kebab.I suppose it was all reletive as I was earning 45p hour for pumping petrol.

I hope you didn't pay with KN's H's or ME's....I can remember my father coming home from work with all the pre 47 silver from the till and any Vickie pennies for me....my grandfather also saved silver but we never found it apart from £300 in his shed.

Interested in what circumstances a wage packet would remain unopened ? I think we all drank light and bitter because it was the trend. My local used to have 14 different pumps in those days, serving 6 different courage bitters. On a friday or saturday night you had to get there by 7.30pm or risk being turned away as the place was stuffed to the rafters, everyone went there. 30 years later there are seldom more than a handful of people in there at anytime. When the option was a Watneys party 7 it had to be the pub....my old local is now into food rather than beer...I met my wife there when completly slaughtered...she must of realised I had 1698 & 1717 farthings stashed away.

Who even thinks on bidding for these items....complete fools..

I miss the 10 shilling note and the £1 note...I've even starting collecting them...but when you get into replacement notes it gets serious.I was given an unopened wage envelope from the 1930/40's and it contained peppiate 10/- and £1 both worth a bit...especially the 10/-... When I first went to the pub a pint was 22p and we all drank light and bitter because the bitter was awfull and if you were nice to the barmaid you often got a pint +.

It was fairly dreadful at the very end of Alf Ramsey's regime. Failure to beat Poland and qualify for the 1974 World Cup was pretty grim. Going completely off subject, if you remember that superb goal scored by Bobby Charlton against Mexico in the 1966 World Cup, just cast your eyes up behind the goal he scored it in and you will see a small 11 year old boy picking his nose. That's me! Anyway, returning to subject, mediaeval Europe was not noted for its learning on anything other than ecclesiastical matters and the heraldic leopard/lion was probably just based on a folk memory of a big cat as almost nobody had ever seen one - especially a leopard. Wouldn't the 'leo' of 'leopard' indicate something to do with a lion anyway? We were in Lowestoft in a grotty B&B...Dad went potty mum tutted and I watched a big yellow helicopter...sounds like a LSD trip.

I stand corrected...there were a lot of imitators of our silver coins.

Come on you blues the mighty Town are playing Arsenal in the Semi finals....Osbourne 1-0......I'm a happy blue boy.

I do try my bestist
