3 minutes ago, Paddy said:Yes - Guy is the chap running The Coinery auction. The bank transfer was to his account. I have no idea if Guy is on here somewhere.
Interestingly the name Richard also popped up when I was subscribing?

I can barely believe it was that long ago I had to draw swords with an adversary! Wow, six years! I did fair take him in the joust and run him through with my sword!
May the vanquished return so I might bid him well and wish him great merriment throughout this Christmas season!
Compliments of the upcoming season to all!

Is that the same The Coinery from this forum?

Did it never cross your mind? Some people’s disposable annual income for numismatics exceeds my entire annual household income, gross!
I marvel at it all…just wish I’d been a premiership footballer for a year!-

6 hours ago, Rob said:The BNJ drew a blank, so when I have time I'll have a quick look through the Circular Index to see if there's anything in vol.38, but all is currently stuck behind a 2 deep 2-3 foot stack of Leu, Baldwin's, St. James's and Glens catalogues!
Thanks, Rob…beyond the call…
I can’t imagine that amount of material will ever be amassed again, I hope it all stays together now you’ve put the legwork into acquiring it all!

13 minutes ago, Rob said:It could be connected to the fourth variety discovery or an example from an image. I thought it might have been a reference to the Cloncreen Bog hoard of 60 Elizabethan coins found in Co. Offaly in 1968, but there wasn't an Anchor in there (latest was Key), so I'm not sure yet.
I guess the ink colour does suggest a connection with the variety?
Many thanks, Rob, always appreciate your insights. -
5 hours ago, Coinery said:Sorry to labour this, but at the top of the ticket where it says ‘77 B win,’ do you think the Roman numerals represent the £38 he paid? I haven’t seen enough of his tickets to know whether he’s done that before? All the other ones I have are much simpler, with much less detail.

I’m guessing that all of Chris’ paperwork remains with his family, presumably having plenty of what we would call sensitive material connected with it, bank details, fees, charges, transfers, etc., quite likely too much for his family to go through and vet. Might even be easier to burn such stuff?
I’d however love to read the background information and footnotes accompanying a couple of the numbers I currently have.

2 minutes ago, Rob said:Must be references to other coins because the earlier one was two and a half times the price of the other. Things got reduced and relisted if they didn't sell, but not that much.
Thanks, Rob!
Does anyone ever end up with all the paperwork from collections like these? All those pencil numbers must correlate with some probably extensive written records?

17 minutes ago, Rob said:Those two refer to listings in the Bulletin. The first was in the Sept. 1949 issue, item 9356 priced at 45/-, the second was in Dec. 1951 at. 17/6d
Blimey, Rob, you actually have those bulletins? Truly phenomenal, and thank you so much for digging that out!
So, are these references to ‘other’ coins, or connected to the actual coin itself?

Just finished reading this article, absolutely fascinating!

Ahh, yes, quite possibly…many thanks for that

Quick question: what does RCB refer to from the 40s?
Also, a useful document, that I’m sure you’ve all seen before, so forgive me, I’m simply sharing it here to log it for myself

Something I’ve only just discovered if you use an iPhone…when you select your image, in the bottom left of the screen you’ll see an options button. Click on that and you get to choose a size to attach it at, with it also highlighting the Kbs at each size! Nice touch Apple!

Superb, thank you, excellent resource!

I’m part of an Elizabeth I group on FB, looking at interesting historical facts, articles, items, etc., and someone shared today (obviously) that this is the day that Elizabeth became queen, at the death of Mary, using this picture.
Does anyone know the origin, source, date of it? I haven’t got any further with the OP, and can’t seem to find it anywhere online! -
Yes, try closing all the pages entirely before trying again. The file limit is a pain in the arse!

Definitely rare in that grade! You’d have to walk a very long, long, mile to better it.

So funny, I have just posted a near mirror comment in the gardening thread
