    It was the relentless procession of coins making 10K that ran the total up. When the first one hit 8K(10K with juice) we said it was going to be an expensive day, as a Calais noble of Ed.3 is a common coin with a regular price tag at around half that. The top 5 lots made 765K hammer.

    2.6m. Wow

    £15K all in for the silver cartwheel twopence. Even the unloved silver halfpenny is selling for twice what I was paying 6 or 7 years ago

    I'd assumed that was you. There are some mind boggling numbers here. Very important not to get caught up in the feeding frenzy.

    It's a pretty outstanding day for emphasising the value of a decent provenance. As I intimated a couple weeks ago, the ryal I bought cost me roughly the hammer price of lot 290, that for a coin which is at least half a grade higher and not creased. All in all, I'm quite happy to have no liquidity today. Nicholas. There is another one in comparable grade, with a similar level of defects at different points to this one.

    Rush of blood? Should that not be gush of blood? You should be bled dry at that level. Good provenance though. I think it goes back to Trattle.

    Thanks. I found a blacklist box to fill in the email address, but will have to wait for tomorrow to see if it works.

    Greetings all. How do you go about blocking an ip address? Along with a host of other people based on the cc list, I have a problem with a t**t from India who is desperately trying to sell me Indian coins to the value of 2 billion pounds, for which I only have to pay him £80K. When it gets to my inbox I remove it using the spam tab, but it doesn't seem to block it the next time, so need another method. It comes with lots of megabytes of images - every day. And I'm getting p'd off.

    Another day it would be different. I just wish I could take consistent pictures. Trying to find a happy balance of flash, natural light, shading the flash to stop glare, and all the other settings on the camera is a nightmare.It looks very natural, and the rose-tone looks about spot on if you ask me? Quality image! You don't want to know how many images I had to take to get a good one.

    No flash usually means they are too dark and tinged with some colour other than how it looks in hand. Sometimes it gives ok results just using the room lighting, but suspect the camera is playing up at this point.

    Cnut, quatrefoil type from Crewkerne.

    It might have been rejected for the peck marks. Sometimes they grade, but other times not. Peck marks are one very inconsistent parameter as far as the TPGs go. However, I for my part am usually willing to take the ungradable crap.
