that tasmanian emag is a devil of a read


.................sooorrryyyyyy.lol!
But seriously I'd like to see something similar about British coins!
-
That is a good read!
These e-only editions make me more and more attracted to the idea of a good e-only British magazine (with subs and paypal donations of course!)
Would Chris be able to do something like this or is he too busy?
Because I would certainly sign up and donate even on my limited budget if some regulars here wrote an article or two...
-
Nah, he hasn't.
-
I think the dealer probably knew how to identify them too!
-
Maybe they are doing the same thing Britain did in 1971?
Maybe we should convert to the Euro to make the decimals nice and rare...
-
Where can I have coins melted?
Are sovereigns really "coins" as they were largely minted as bullion for foreign exchange and were regularly put into the melting pot and recoined.
Modern ones I think should be but the older ones should be preserved rather than melted.
-
I think no coin magazine will be successful as a singularity.
I think Coin News are not making too much profit and are being backed by the sales of things from CoinCraft and their yearbook as well.
If Predecimal launched one it would have to be small scale and not expected to make much profit.
-
Passing on our numismatic heritage to some aspiring decimal collector by buying a packet of Quavers!
Good deed of the day done!

Vic for short.
Will and Kate's first born won't eventually be king/queen will he/she?
I'm afraid so. See, his dad's 1st in line, so I guess he is 2nd in line??, and his kid will be 3rd. Or maybe I've got it wrong and must kneel at the block with my neck bared.
What if for some reason it never makes it to the throne

Who would be next in line?
-
Buy coins for the right price and always get the seller to have them weighed on big purchases.

those scout 50p's are hard to find.. i have only ever seen 3 of them :/, 2 of which were owned by others

that 1981 crown does look far better in gold tbh, i got a guilded and holed bun head halfpenny, nice little curiosity
I had one... but I spent it

-
I know bun heads are going crazy, but didn't realise they'd reached such dizzy heights!
Gordon Bennett !!! ~ for that price I'd want a die number under the date

Yes, but it could the narrow or open cat hair
lol!
For the price I'd want the cat as well.
The most I'd pay for that coin is 200 quid let alone 900!
-
If you were to spend it would they be legally obliged to accept it?
-
A respectable coin dealer would send it or at least send an apology/letter of explanation with more than one line.
-
Is it worth £600 to avoid a negative feedback?

This should work with older version of Excel.
Try it!
This what you're looking for Peck?

The problem with the internet......people expect it for free!!
having said that, for a dedicated publication of the type were talking about here, most would be prepared to pay a sub i think for online access. but as said before, theres the small item of writing content.
I think that if some of the more established regulars here contributed articles now and again I'd be prepared to pay a sub also.
-
I wouldn't mind a magazine published through email and printed out by the reader or just read online so long as it had interesting articles.
There'd be no printing costs at least!
-
That looks around GVF.
Worth around £8 I think .

okay now it just opens the tony clayton site.
what sort of wizadry is this.......are you welsh?
Saes...

Sentimental value is another point for keeping "scrap" coins.
I've got an 1889 crown that's been in the family for 100 years - it's a miracle it was kept because our family was so poor it was struggling for pennies and shillings let alone having a crown and leaving it lying around!
But I'll never sell it even if it's worth £10000.
Which it isn't.
-
Just noticed an 1844 Farthing, is that correct Conor? If so you should scan that, quite rare those, or is the 1st line for pennies?

It's a half farthing not a full one sadly

I can get them all for you for £15 quid from Dodgy Dave in the pub
I think the book/leaflet would be an important part of my and any other collector's library.
Especially to those out there who collect books.
