I'll Show you my 1913 HC result when i get home Peter, turned out really good, the tarnish was'nt heavy on it. I'll drop the before and after picture in here

Yes, Adolf......You would'nt associate Bermuda with an onion though, maybe France, strange one that. I Wonder if Holland would do a commemorative one with a Cannabis plant REV and the UK with an ASBO REV lol

I see Debbie has some taste then Peter, Dream on Leek boy lol

This may well end up with Mickey Rourke (aka Peter) and Kim Basinger (aka Mrs Peters) in 9 and a half Leeks

I think there might be to much tarnish on that Florin to dip it, it may come out patchy.

God knows, i just hit enter for the lucky dip

And of course its a private listing, so you (well, us mere mortals) can't message the buyers... Azda - over to you son! I deapiar at what some of these people are looking at when checking the poctures

r***e 245 FB

Regarding the freemail situation. I'm guessing this is all to do with spambots that come from most freemail addresses. I've encountered this once before with my German web.de address. There are 2 versions of this though, the free one and a paying one. I use the paying one because i'm Scottish and tight as a ducks arse, dunno why it would happen to an Englishman though

Oh dear that's another addiction started Errrr yes quite possibly. The frau will not be best pleased

Depends how much you want to spend. Better are available and should be found in a reasonable timeframe. They are nowhere near as rare as the halfcrown or shilling in high grade, but are still scarce. Aim to pay 2-3 times that for a 1903 or 4 in similar grade. Thanks as ever Rob, priceless advice ... but why are 1905 florins priced at 3-4 times 1903 and 1904 (just going by latest Tony Clayton prices)? Is this an example where price guides are massively wrong? This is what his website says you might expect to pay a dealer for Eddie 7 florins, is this way out Rob? ok, it wont let me post another image at the moment, in summary: 1903 VF 35 EF 120 1904 VF 40 EF 150 1905 VF 160 EF 600 If so, I am using the wrong information to guide me! You seem to readily rely on Tony Claytons website for prices Paul. Go through some auction houses realised prices and check those, those will be more up to date for this year. A little homework goes a long way Thanks Dave and noted, it is true that I use Spink and Clayton et al as a guide, realising that I might be able to obtain the coins in those grades at auctions etc at half the dealers'/listed prices if I do my homework ... but I was trusting them as relative price guides, i.e. 1905 florins realising 3-4 times more than 1903 and 1904, perhaps I shouldn't! Always learning! Bear in mind that the price you see is not including commission, so you'd have to add about 20% roughly

I was kicking myself last year when i did'nt go for a 1905 Florin in UNC. Pictures were to ropey to dish out the amount and trying to haggle did'nt work this time unfortunately

Personally i don't see die numbers adding values or rarity. Rayner who wrote ESC gives the highest die numbers he found when writing the Book for each year but also goes onto state that their might be higher. Some people collect die numbers, others don't

Stricter rules here regarding detecting which i'm going to have to find out about. I actually bought it yesterday from an old School friend who had put a few finds on Facebook and turns out he was selling 2 machines. Its staying in Scotland for now and next time i'm over i'm going to go out into the Heels and Glens, maybe over pitlochry way and see what turns up.

To right! Your right, there! It was a nice coin too

Dave you will not be disappointed. Just wonder how many UXBs i can find in Munich. They found one 2 weeks ago not far from me, they had to blow it up and the cost for the damage was around €4,000,000 lol

Just on the detecting subject. Just bought myself a garrett ace 250

Was it bought as a copy?

EBay is certainly a haven to encourage blackmail Peck. I know we can all get a little annoyed at times here and disagree on things, but we are civil enough to take the banter two and move on.

I think the internet is a funny place for people with alter egos. I don't know Mr Holds personally but the manner in which he went about Things is not how i would have reacted personally. In the end the coin was in a PO Box which he did'nt Check and he gave me his verbal because of his failure to do so. Needless to say i did'nt kiss his ass and would'nt have done so anyway. Its life, we move on and ignore the idiots.

Only with him Rob, we all have Our own opinions, and that was a first hand account of him. In reflection i should have got eBay to retract his FB on account of blackmail but its done and dusted now, although he did bid on something of mine recently and i sent him to the block list.

I was lucky. The listing mentioned it was from "an important collection of English coins" so I did an auction search but didn't see anything recent. The Bole collection of sixpences was next (the DNW listing is still online) and when that turned up nothing, on a whim I looked in Brooker (Coins of Charles I, The John Brooker Collection, volume 33 of the Syllogue of Coins of the British Isles, by J.J. North & P.J. Preston-Morley, London 1984) and there it was with the provenance above. Where it's been since the Brooker coins were sold I don't know. Maybe Rob might be able to track it? As to the dealer, I've seen his ebay listings before, but don't know anything about him I'm afraid. Andy Holds has a sensible grip on munismatics and is ok. I was chatting to him yesterday at the Midland. I've known him since St.James's 3 (2005) when he bought a pattern halfpenny because I was asleep and I had to buy it post-sale from him. I had a run in with said Mr Holds about 2 years back when i sold him in auction an 1820 Closed 2 variety Sov. I posted it after he's paid etc and when it did'nt arrive to him in good time he got a little snotty (not that i deliver it to him) A few emails here and there then he opened a dispute then told me i'd better kiss his ass if i did'nt want a negative which he gave me anyway and he got his coin. P***k in my eyes.

For shit. Is that correct? Have I passed? You passed the shit test Rob

People who can't spell for shit.
