Great website very informative. A truly spectacular coin.

BTW Hussulo, that 1687 is a 1/2d - though they do have some top farthings in that sale. Teg

No problem Dave. You must have quite a formidable collection of farthings.

Only a 1684 James II to go, you say Dave. I have found a James II 1687 ,or do you already have it? : http://cngcoins.com/Bid.aspx?ITEM_ID=97778

Great coin Scottishmoney. 'They have a lot of nice coins for auction. I have always fancied a Noble. This one would be great, but again it's out my currrent budget! P.s. how do you post your picture?. My ones always come up small with a message saying Attached thumbnail(s)?

Happy New Year All!

I believe detectorists are an asset to the hobby. I'd much rather coins were dug up to be appreciated then remain buried wasting away somewhere. I also know it is important for finds to be documented and reported for future archeological reference.

Regards, Bob Crawford Here is a second set of pics. You can see why I placed the low tide penny on the bottom in the earlier pics. Regards, Bob Crawford Thanks Bob, Once again you have been most helpful, would I be able to use these pictures for reference on my new up (currently in build) website?

Does anyone have a 1903 open 3 penny? could you post pictures of it if you have? I am sure this topic was discussed before but I can't seem to find where, when I search back in the archives.

Hi, Does anyone have a picture of a "low tide" penny and halfpenny that I can use for my website?

Wow no bidders that's odd! For that price I bet there was only a handfull made!

I was speaking to a local dealer at an antiques fair a couple of months back and along the conversation somewhere he happened to mention he has a friend who regularly buys from Baldwin’s (I think he said). The gentleman who as far as I gathered doesn’t live in London, but he uses Baldwin’s to keep his bought coins in a safe. So he buys coins from them and they store them for him (probably for a small surcharge), anyway I find this a little odd. Storing your coins far from home. I would like to have access to my coins to look at them when I choose. There are coins I haven't seen for a couple of months but I know I could if I wanted to by nipping down to my local bank. I would love to have a secure walk in safe in my house, now that would be great!

I managed to pick off and use the "S" thanks again Derek, now I just need the other mintmarks (ie. on the ground George & dragon etc.) and the Sovereign section will be complete.

I have also recived pictures of the Gothic Crown and young head sovereign George and dragon reverse (thanks Red Riley), but I still need the others if anyone has got them? They are: VICTORIA: Silver penny- Young head, Jubilee head Silver two pence- Jubilee head Silver four pence- Jubilee head (Maundy). Two pounds- Jubilee head. Old head. Five pounds- Young head (Una and the lion) Jubilee head. Close up pictures of die numbers for sixpences. I would also like close up pictures of mintmarks for Sovereigns.

I can let you have gothic crown and young head sovereign G & D reverse. Thats great thanks Derek, If you could please send them to hmansulo@yahoo.co.uk I would be once again most greatful.

Thanks Scottishmoney, I would also like a picture of your 1676 Crown if possible I shall be working my way back to Charles II later on . I just need to get Victoria out the way first. I wish I could show you guys how the website is taking shape. I think it looks great (but I would), I don't want to publish it untill it is complete(ish).

I have since recived pictures of Victoria Five pounds - Old head and die numbers on shillings (thanks Rob), but I still need the others if anyone has got them?

I have been working away on my British coins website to be named COINS.GB.COM and I have almost completed the Victorian coins section. However I am still in need of pictures. The pictures I would like to add are: VICTORIA: Silver penny- Young head, Jubilee head Silver two pence- Jubilee head Silver four pence- Jubilee head (Maundy). Crown- Gothic Crown. Sovereign- Young head George & dragon reverse. Two pounds- Jubilee head. Old head. Five pounds- Young head (Una and the lion) Jubilee head. Old head. Close up pictures of die numbers for sixpences, shillings. I would also like close up pictures of mintmarks for Sovereigns. If anyone has coins from above and would kindly send me pictures to add to my website I would be most great full. I shall also add Courtesy of "YOUR NAME" below the pictures and a link to a coin related website if you own one. Many thanks, Hus Sulo

Reading the two page spread "spotlight" article in this months coin news "When a coin is recived it is examined by the atributer, Alex Anderson, a coin collector of 36 years experiance. He assesses whether it is genuine or not by weighing the peice and consulting an extensive library of known forgeries." then " two fully trained graders will independantly grade the coin". Anybody know Alex Anderson?

In the latest eddition of Coin News the editor seems to be firmly behind them. Mind you they do seem to have taken a lot of advertising space in the magazine.

The seller says "I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW FEW OF THESE WERE MADE BUT I WOULD HAZZARD TO SAY THERE WERE LESS THEN A HANDFUL" what kind of handfull is that? maybe a 20 foot tall gaint's handfull?
