Hi, Yes, I understand the point you make. The point I was making is that the Spink values indicate a rarity or perhaps imply a rarity. The rarer the coin the more expensive. Look at 1697 3rd bust. The Spink price for the 'y' is cheapest of all 1697 3rd busts whereas ESC rarity states 'C' should be more common. See what I mean? or perhaps Spink feel a lot of 'y' have come to market whereas 'C' haven't !! Cheers

I was wondering if there were any keen Shilling collectors for the 1696 & 1697 regions (B,C,E,N,Y,y) out there? I'm interested to compare what anyone considers are the relative rarities of these coins. Ignoring all the specific varieties, (no stops, overstrikes etc), these coins recorded for both Spink and ESC don't seem to agree. (surprise, surprise). For example, looking at 1696 1st bust only, Spink indicates 1696B is the commonest and 1696N is rarest. ESC rate them all as Scarce apart from 1696B and 1696Y which are Rare. Personally I find the Exeter occuring most frequesntly and the Y hardest. Has anyone got any thoughts on relative rarities of these coins. I know there are several varieties too which are unrecorded (or recorded glibly) but any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi Thanks. Reply sent to your website direct Cheers

Hi I'd be interested to know what people regard as the best way to sell. Frankly, I'm a bit despondent. Go to a dealer and you know they want to make 100% profit therefore they offer reduced value (obviously). Try eBay, they charge to load images, set reserves, promote listings, final value fees, and worst of all demand Paypal and the associated costs. What about London auction houses? The best I've done is to negotiate the sellers fee down to 8% but I was outraged by the poor description and not given an opportunity to provide my knowledge. Any ideas / thoughts would be appreciated..... Cheers

Hi Does anyone know the best way to find/read/buy old British Numismatic Journals ? Thanks

Hi Sorry, I've been away for a few days..... If anyone wants my bucket full of pennies, 1967 or otherwise, at better than scrap they are very welcome. Just get in touch. I'm not sure sending them "acrossthepond" will be cost effective but never mind eh ? I live near Basingstoke, Hampshire Cheers

I've got pot loads of 20th century coppers. Probably 10-15kg. Mostly worn circulated modern, but from 1911 to 1967 mostly. Any idea what kind of scrap value can be achieved? Thanks
