    That's a beauty. Indeed it is! And for my money, OS...

    Infintely better pix <Dammit - where is the 'doffing-ones-cap' smilie when I need it?!Oh well, the old ways are the best...> Why thank'ee squire!

    If it is, its very localised! I (in Slough) have seen all of two (swimming and badminton) in circulation - but a friend in Reading has virtually completed the set! I'm half tempted to go to the bank and get a £500 bag to see what I can find! Get a £250 bag of 20p whilst I'm at it - see if I cant find any more of my die-cracks!

    And finally, some daylight pics! 1927 Rev 1927 Obv 1928 Rev 1928 Obv Oh, and the set is gone... sorry!

    I think it would have to be in bigger chunks than that! Ahh Chris - you missed a trick there! A pound a week is fine for the next millenia! And Peck - I dont think they'll take Totnes pounds in Deutschland!

    Done! In some parts of the world, that would constitute a contract! Lovely coin though...

    I reckon Tom's 'a few here, a few there' route is the best way if you can't get them from change... £2 for a presi pack is robbery! Although, if you get the aquatics one in the pack, check to see if the swimmer is drowning!

    Good old olympic junk!

    Genius! Question... what do they qualify as 'student'?! Does it have to be a university person? A-levels? KS1?! Waiting list for nursery?! Next question - how quick can I adopt one?! Can it be like a sponsorship programme? send them 5 beer tokens a month and get the occasional picture and Christmas card...

    Sorry, my mind reading abilities have gone a bit rusty. Perhaps Derren Brown might help? My thoughts exactly! After I'd spent 5mins working out what was meant...!
  11. Cerbera100
    No offence taken at all... Thats what you get for a 5min bodge job on a Friday evening before going out for dinner! I'll get some proper shots in the (hopefully!) daylight when I get home this evening. I didnt realise that the crown was only in the set... thats a whole lot of broken up sets around then!
  12. Cerbera100
    I may be wrong, but did they not strike more crowns than sets? Either way, its a 6-coin proof set, and a separate crown on its own which incidently, I'l upgrading to aUnc! There is also a VF/aEF 1928 crown up for grabs! Pics below... 1927 Obv 1927 Rev 1928 Obv 1928 Rev Set without flash Set with flash Set crown Set crown and 3d Set 2/6 and 6d Set florin and shilling Set case
  13. Cerbera100
    Is it even Silver?!
  14. Cerbera100
    Afternoon all, I contemplating parting company with a 1927 Proof Set (red leatherette case) and a 1927 Crown (I think better than EF)... Pics will be put up over the weekend. If you want to come to Slough or Windsor, I can even arrange a viewing! Would anyone like to make me an offer before I stick 'em on fleabay?! Drop me a PM!

    Sweet Mary mother of Jesus! For the first time since I graduated, I glad of my Chemistry degree! Everything from acid baths to re-plating! And on the subject of verigris - two lines... "Rub with a fine cloth which has been treated with copper soap. Copper soap can be obtained from drugstores." ============================== Having now googled 'copper soap', all I'm coming up with is a fungicide... I wonder if that is what they mean?!
  16. Cerbera100
    Yep, brasso and brillo pads all the way!
  17. Cerbera100
    The numpties that bought them for £300 are the ones suffering. I don't understand anyone who trys to sell one for more than £75.I think they will drop to £15-£20. Unlikely when people are still selling (or more importantly buying) at £100+... the price won't drop until the numpties realise they are not a long-term investment. Not eBay, but ouchy!
  18. Cerbera100
    hmm... we'll see!
  19. Cerbera100
    Yeah, the poor bugger who bought it from the LMO in the first place - and they only paid £30 for it!
  20. Cerbera100
    The one I got was in 'Excellent' condition as well... the rest are only 'good', and one of those is nearly a ton!
  21. Cerbera100
    DNW March if you're interested!
  22. Cerbera100
    Possibly overkill - but the felt will be fine! Just make sure that you don't use anything pointy to get the coins out of the hole - or that the hole is big enough to get your (gloved) fingers into! Managed to get a nice scratch on one coin by using a piece of card to lift it - didnt notice the card had a staple in it! Fortunately, only a 1970 proof penny - but served as a sharp reminder!
  23. Cerbera100
    Already done - got a copy for £10.80 inc postage off amazon!

    To get around this completely, I have labelled each tray and cell and have a database with that reference for it. I then have a separate coindex whatsit with paper envelopes with the cell ref on with the appropriate tickets in... Possibly a touch cumbersome, but works for me!
  25. Cerbera100
    Absolutely! I've heard various methods mentioned (olive oil, sulphur and vaseline, actone etc) but no real direction as to how to go about it! Thanks Peter - the verd is on the rev, but the obv is lovely - which is why I bought it. As soon as I release it from solitary confinement, I'll get some pics up. I've always thought Acetone would be a bit harsh on copper... Orbital sander on the other hand - why didnt I think of that?! That'll get rid of the verdigris in a flash!
