They are sought after in the US to put on the petrol tanks of those awful Harleys.Give me a slippery Sam or a nice RD400 proper bikes.

I got mine in ef for £15 spuds.Obviously not a farthing buff (also a large date 1875). Watch out for the dodgy guys in the far room

The British/North American sites were gut butting but also the German/Italian sites. We all get on well(apart from football) Next time toss a two headed coin.

I avoid London like the plague. Just me after working/commuting for 15 years.

I believe I owe a lot to a lot of people. A Contract I worked on a few years back was a Flying Fortress site.I walked in the wood near by where US crew had left graffiti on trees.Empty bottles of booze also. Rougham....bloody thank you boys. Our wonderful council are now going to put a model B52 on a close roundabout. About time too.

You know what it is and grade. Slabbing would be futile. On the question of selling it would probably do OK in DNW or London Coins auction. I think it is a nice affordable coin.

As long as he wasn't a fluffer.

In 1995 we toured Normandy.A humbling but rewarding break. I would like to go to some WW1 sites. We were in Arras in the 90's and I remember a restaurant which had a sign saying English and Canadians especially welcome.

Ozjohn That certainly looks better. Nice coin . When you started off it wasn't nice.

http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=178198&whichpage=1 This is an interesting thread from Coin community regarding an 1915 shilling. Tom(Richard) and I are saying what we see. Any input/comments?

Post some pictures of the best graded coins. We can take it from there.

ebay needs to be monitored over a longish period and I should imagine a significant proportion of the forum have at least 1.

Clearly a new die was employed. I will have to go and check mine.If everyone does this like wise and monitor Ebay maybe the rarer type can be established.

I assume that the bidders took the starting price of £280 to be reasonable, so that £50 over is therefore not excessive. If it had started at £180 and gone up to £230 there would be nothing to explain as it would be close to Spink book. Yes, you're right Rob - I hadn't checked the Spink price. Guess I just think of these as readily available in high grades, let's see where it ends up! - if close to £400 that is excessive as far as I'm concerned, and would suggest someone paying for the number? CCGB 2014 price is £150 in BU.So the bidders are buying the slab and its grade.MADNESS.

I don't know the Euro % turnouts but the general election will be won by the party that produce the most spin. My money goes on the Tories. Milliband and Clegg are not the strongest of characters & Farage looks a one day wonder. Interesting times ahead.

There are a couple on ebay. £1500 and over £2000.The £1500 is in worse condition than Justin's.

I bought a nice Liz 1 3d and the seller sent it recorded. It never arrived but he got his £ back

These turn up all the time.

I'm a bit like T'dog the funds are not there.

It should be a great day out. Be aware of coin collectors stoop and don't smell of pee.

NNC is a self slabber (Centsles).

I've got all of the books (Blue.red.green & yellow) My 1st Spink/Seaby was 1972.....I was 11.

Like wise. My new coins pre logged was discovered recently as Mrs Peter had put the box in the attic I was on the limit of calling plod.
