  1. All pre 1947 silver coins are 50% silver and sell well on ebay. It might be worth buying collectors coins GB for about £6 and check the dates.
  2. Dave I reckon you went for a reale
  3. Richard Don't take the Peso.
  4. Good news Gents. Now wait for the postie.
  5. The 51 farthing is fairly difficult in its own right. I believe the 1864 was a proof but copper 1860's are just very rare currency coins.
  6. No message Mark. Peter, I had accidentally blocked you, sorry. Please try now. Regards Mark No message Mark.
  7. 1771 1/4d type A Aussie $400 looks nice although I have been banned Too much spent on the MG...here comes the summer Colin it is all yours.
  8. Anyone with a brain bigger than a pea wouldn't sell 800 coins as a job lot without taking out the goodies. I reckon you have bought junk.
  9. Car boot and £20 for a huge box.They are not worth anything.
  10. There is a chap on ebay selling all these on CD for a couple of £. I have picked up one old catalogue but basically Krause is boll**ks and just a general reference.
  11. No message Mark.

    Afternoon!

    It is a slippery slope.But WELCOME. 800 coins in a tin sounds like something I shifted at a car boot a couple of years ago. May I say never again.
  13. If they are rubbish of which they appear sell as a job lot. A circulated 1950 half crown is worth diddly. Or give to a charity.
  14. I just use a cotton bud.
  15. Ebay finds its level.You will get spot plus a bit...less fees and paypal. Send them tracked...A lesson I have learnt for anything over £15.Scum bags.
  16. Try the Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge.I am aware they have an extensive library of auction catalogues I'm planning a visit once I can establish what they have and what I want to see. Mrs Peter and the girls will happily spend a day shopping before I buy dinner. Fitzwilliam site is not the easiest to navigate but a phone call has worked wonders.They have some smart people working there.
  17. When I was working at Waterloo by train back to Suffolk left from Liverpool Street. A couple of other lads used Liverpool Street which is a stones throw from Brick Lane and Green Street. You had to take your own beer into the many Curry houses.We ate there at least twice a week for about £5 per head Smashing grub.I also had a Pakistani clerk and his mother often sent me a container of curry for my lunch.
  18. Rob Heed Pecks advice. Proof sets drop like a stone. I have several sets and never paid more than £8.
  19. It looks like it is a brass copy. A half guinea will be 21mm and weigh 4.1g. Thus the value will be minimal.
  20. Rotographic (the owner of this site Chris Perkins) Is working on his latest decimal coin book. I keep all the top quality coins that come my way.
  21. Worth keeping the CGS ticket.The coin would easily hit MS grades in the US.
  22. Decent coins Dave.
  23. I've gone for 10 bob notes and £1 notes. Replacement notes are the collectable ones. I started out with an unopened wage envelope from 1940 it had 2 10 shilling notes. I also have an album of cheques.....sad bugger I am.
