    I didn't think the G.B.O.R would go in for that kind of thing.
  2. Emperor Oli
    I didn't say I wouldn't make any mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Emperor Oli
    As yours was a mistake of grammar, I assumed that you and Sylvester were going to "pull me up" for mistakes in that, not petty typos
  4. Emperor Oli
    That's not grammar, it's a typo
  5. Emperor Oli
    If you offered some kind of discount I would definitely purchase it from you as long as you got it as soon as they came out....

    Does anybody believe in reincarnation? I thinkit's a load of crap but then again I'm a very cynical person
  7. Emperor Oli
    Yes, I know about reincarnation but I was just puzzled as to why I would be a tree.....
  8. Emperor Oli
    Doubtless it will happen but the mistake won't be as repugnant as yours
  9. Emperor Oli
    No, it's just mixing up a possessive adjective with a verb is......unforgivable!

    In WHSmith they put them in Reference or Antiques & Collectables and I'd guess the same at Waterstones
  11. Emperor Oli
    Well it's not a proof is it? Because he thought a proof was one with "H.P" below the head. So it is just a normal George VI coin.
  12. Emperor Oli
    Larger WHSmiths sell them, as do Waterstones. I got mine from Stanley Gibbons in London. They're easy to find in normal bookshops, without ringing Spink's or emailing them
  13. Emperor Oli
    I'm guessing your coin is George VI: The H.P stands for T. Humphrey Paget, the engraver. On the reverse of the sovereign and all the others with St. George slaying the dragon, there is a tiny B.P below the dragon: This means Benedetto Pistrucci, the engraver of that design.

    On this page, some have a blank obverse, others have lettering on it

    I got the bit about the dies and the crowning bit from a site which I can't remember

    Phew sorry couldn't let this go unnoticed: Correction: Our coins are alike, aren't they?

    Edward VIII (Jan-Dec 1936), Matt Proof Brass Threepence, 1937, struck on a twelve-sided flan, bare head facing left, tiny HP below, edwardvs viii d g br omn rex f d ind imp,rev. thrift plant, date below, denomination above, (Peck 2366; S.4064A) light thumbprint on obverse, otherwise as struck with a dark tone, we believe the matt proof of this reverse is unique thus £35,000.00
  20. Emperor Oli
    OK this is a token. On the obverse it has a seated woman with a sword and shield, on the reverse it says "Kings Lords Commons" with a crown over a triangle held by three hands. These were used in Middlesex. I don't know a value......

    Sweden although many Scandinavian countries produced Ore, I think it's Sweden
  22. Emperor Oli
    Spink's auctions are no different to any others.
  23. Emperor Oli
    Nope
  24. Emperor Oli
    We've discussed this in another topic; sets were produced but they weren't sold. Consult p458 of Spink's. A very small number of proof sets were produced, containing coins from the gold five pound down to the farthing. One set has come on the market in recent years. He would have been crowned in May 1937, and a series of coins was prepared for issue at that time dated 1937. In fact, over 200 dies for coins and medals had to be scrapped when he abdicated.
  25. Emperor Oli
    I didn't go into his place I bought on the web. I can't remember exactly what I bought but I got the majority of the 1950s set and about six from the 1940s
