Have an insanely merry birthday Chris - and if you're going out celebrating don't forget your address label.

To be worth 600 quid this must be the La-la-land Special Magic issue:- Royal Mint Proof Milenium Set Year 2000 Very Rare I wonder, if I ask Santa very nicely...

Chris, Now you've updated the IPB software to the latest version, you might find MyBB is also worth considering once your head has stopped spinning. MyBB is relatively easy to migrate to from IPB, its popularity is increasing daily and it's free. Just a thought. And for the benefit of those who didn't see the now-vanished topic that was posted on the afternoon of the 20th, once again here's the winning Euromillions numbers which will be drawn on Friday evening: 5; 27; 31; 40; 42; *1; *6 Hope this helps.

Thanks for the welcome, Hus. I was beginning to think this placed closed on a Sunday. Good to see your website's still doing nicely, too.

Hello chums, I thought it was about time I put in an appearance here, as I've a growing if somewhat patchy collection and nowhere near the amount of expertise I'd like. British pre-decimal silver is probably my favourite area, but I also have a number of sovereigns and half-sovs, plus more coppers than The Bill. I mainly acquire pieces on eBay these days, where I've had triumphs and turnips in roughly equal measure. Flogging an aUNC undated 20p for £295 at the height of the hysteria last year still gives me a warm glow. Whereas buying coins from sellers who only show one side is something I've now learned to avoid through bitter experience. I've also found Chris's books (Grading Guide and Collectors Coins) to be invaluable when deciding how far to push my luck in the bidding wars. I know that's a long 'Hello', but I do look forward to participating in any topics where I'm able to add something useful. Now which way's the beer tent?
