I've exhausted my reference info and checked google. I cannot find anything to explain the design. Sorry.

Something similar to this, I assume.

I've looked through my books and haven't found anything. I'll try some google. Let you know if I find anything.

Prayers and best wishes for all those folks injured and their families.

Congrats to all on this. Hope everyone gets to go and have fun.

Sorry it's late. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. Hope you have a great day.

My heartiest congratulations to you. Teaching is a wonderful profession. You'll do great.

That's a nice list. Thank you for posting the link. I've bookmarked it so that I can be sure when I get a few key date coins.

Happy Birthday.

I don't mind a little "natural" toning. A lot of the toning that is commanding premiums on ebay and such looks very artifical to me. I'd rather skip it. A little tarnish is also a good thing on an older coin. It is clear that it hasn't been dipped or cleaned - at least recently.

hamstermom certainly wants that beautiful 9ct gold thingy.

That's a terrific site. Makes me wish I was into Scottish coins. I'm part Scottish so maybe I should dig into the family history a bit. Thanks for the link.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy the tractor ride

Just picked up a CoinCraft 2000 on ebay. New. Pretty fair deal. Total delivered $34.00. I wanted that because I've been told that it's the last of the CoinCrafts. Anyone know why?

The hat just hasn't made the trip yet. It will be here soon.

I'm pretty much a newbie to coins of Great Britain, other than a bunch of pennies that I've had since the 70s just because I like them. I got some decent startup education over on CoinPeople through Sylvesters posts for the most part, and of course some posts from other CoinPeople as well. I've been gathering 6d and 3d. Mostly circulated coins from the 20th Century. I have a few older coins that I've gotten. But I'm truly a newbie. I ordered the CCGB from Chris, it's a terrific book. I then borrowed a Spink's and a Coincraft from the ANA. I liked both books. Shipping was the killer on them, so I went to ebay and amazon and looked for US based sales. Here's what I've come up with. CoinCraft 1997 - almost new condition Spink's 2004 - almost new condition Spink's 2003 - new Seaby's 1993 - also new. I think this is a pretty good start for my library on Great Britain. ESC is on my list, as is a 2000 CoinCraft, but I've got a few friends ahead of me when they come up for auction. Thanks for all the good info that you all share here.

Gosh! I thought that everyone had seen at least one Star Wars movie. My son is anxiously awaiting the 19th. He has tickets for the very first showing in Ocala. It should be fun. They were running a thing on US TV claiming that there's so much excitement about the new Star Wars, that the US economy is going to take a 3xx million loss in productivity the first week it's out. Don't know if I believe that.

That's quite a nice collection. Thanks for sharing.

I have one and I really like it. A terrific job. So extend my congratulations to all for their efforts.
