    I like them all. My remit is to get hammered examples.(especially farthings). Size doesn't always matter.
  2. Peter
    I agree Paulus. If it doesn't look nice I avoid.

    9.99 Euros.

    Personally it does nothing for me. The strike is nice and errrrr. It has the appearance that only the moneyer would like.

    Needs a soak in acetone (or verdigris....an American product) It's not pitted.

    I don't imbibe Clive. Booze and Cubans have been knocked on the head for the foreseeable future.

    The obverse shows considerable wear. I wonder how many packs of 3d crisps it bought in the 60's.?

    If you have a binder with sleeves put your coins into 2x2 flips.That is if your sleeves are 2x2.Brittania albums and sleeves are suitable. The self adhesive ones are preferred over stapled. The Royal Mint and Westminster coins I would hide under the floor boards so you don't remember how much you have been ripped off.

    Ian Pratt is my first port of call. Trusting,fair prices and remembers retuning customers.

    Mrs Peter restricts my visits. I do prefer the football season as the football can be listened to on the way home. Also in the summer after wearing my ruck sack for 3+ hours I get wetter than an otters pocket.

    Just had a peep at Kentcoins and it seems mainly low grade.
  14. Peter
    Great coins Declan. I do a quick circuit and then delve deeply. I love your 1799 1/2d

    New Help!

    Peter replied to albundy's topic in Beginners area

    First come first served on the £20 coin. Before you attempt making purchases get some books. I would suggest Collectors coins GB which is about £5. Have a look at Ebay and decide what you like(beware of the rubbish on there) The second book would be the Standard guide to grading British coins. The last tip at this stage is buy the best you can afford. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    Matt England's striking history would be an excellent purchase as it illustrates the different classes and mint id's.it is also a bargain and written in an interesting manner.
  17. Peter
    Ouch An expensive lesson. I echo Stuarts (Coinery) question on purchase history.

    Firstly there are so many micro varieties in pre 1775 1/4d's. You could log it with Colin of aboutfarthings. I will check my 35's.
  20. Peter
    Plenty of thrupenny bits on the beaches go round and oil these.
  21. Peter
    Super dooper coin
  22. Peter
    Not in my experience.
  23. Peter
    As a good contributor to the forum maybe I can sort something out for you.
  24. Peter
    I have convinced myself to get three of these (free recorded postage) .999 silver 1/2 a troy ounce 27mm dia with a mintage of 250,000 http://www.royalmint.com/shop/UK_2013_20_pound_for_20_pound_Fine_Silver_Coin_George_and_the_Dragon They are being released 31/10/2013. The fact they are UK only our North American/Aussie buddies will be gagging for them.

    BU copper/bronze seems to be a haven for carbon spots.As a young lad I bought a lot of BU coins from coin monthly.Most of these have toned to red/brown.I haven't a problem with this and thankfully no carbon spots. Anything with verdigris tends to go out of my collection (apart from a1864 copper 1/4d )
