  1. Cool! I hope you get one of the jazzy gold ones.
  2. This isn't the British Royal Mint, it's the Somalian Mint. To Chris, CIA World Factbook. GDP per capita is a paltry $500. edit: It looks like it was possibly an Italian colony, I think the Italians landed there when they invaded Abysinnia.
  3. Oh I'm enjoying unearthing all this crap linky
  4. Don't think so. I think I'll push you over the edge with this (worst portrait I've seen for a while), and this.

    Bah

    Ludicrous
  6. It's 1903, actually. 1902 must have been a typo or something. I've kinda got my eye on it but I don't want to reserve it or anything.
  7. There are early 19th-century small copper coins, known as Jew pfennigs, whose origin nobody knows with certainty. They were privatley issued for speculation and circulated until 1823 when Frankfurt banned them. As far as I know, the name has nothing to do with jews themselves - it's not some kind of jew-exclusive money. I think yours is the one below...
  8. There's another ending in about four days if you check his other items. I imagine it will go for around the same price.
  9. Another ESC ending soon from the seller who I got mine from
  10. Also the more it would cost, probably depreciating sales
  11. Looks like a large dint from that picture, I wouldn't say it had anything to do with the dies.
  12. eBay has run fine for me, I've had no problem with anything bar one slow-to-return buyer.
  13. I hope the Saltford coins site comes fully live soon, I'm dying to see it!
  14. We won't have coins in 2500, everything will be done on plastic!

    I bought a copy of "English Silver Coinage" off eBay and it arrived today. I got it for a knockdown £2.76 plus postge. Overall, it was under a fiver! It's the newest edition in tiptop condition and I'm going to have fun flicking through it!
  16. Is the Pope a moslem?
  17. A rhetorical question?
  18. Firstly, identify the variety. It will either have an elephant below Charles' bust, or there will be nothing there. If you can post a picture, it would help enormously, but if it's as good as you say, it could be worth around £800. Non-collectors say there is no wear when in actual fact there is quite a lot, so pics would help.
  19. Looks like an ex-jewellery piece to me - fine or thereabouts
  20. The trick is to see what he sells it for...
  21. Chinese Cash Coins I said instinctively, but why would there be Chinese coins in the ground of the UK. I think Chris has got the right idea, but I don't know how big the plugs are compared to the rest of the coin
  22. Mmm his guarranties for the bizness seem okey Im sold!
  23. If he would just correct his spelling and grammar, it would be a lot more believable (to me, at least)!
