    Totally agree! But I do think Spink could dig a little deeper on the more common issues in the hammered section at least!
  2. Coinery
    That's proper upgrading! Well done!
  3. Coinery
    Aye, all the best, Bob!
  4. Coinery
    Very good point!
  5. Coinery
    Nice 1930 HC pretty scarce in that gradeI've seen a lot worse, that's for certain! It's nice for having a lot of lustre still!

    Take it easy out there, Peter! My best mate died when he was 45, it leaves a big hole, buddy!
  7. Coinery
    Charles I always did have that affect on the economy!

    Might I also offer this as a good read? http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1955_BNJ_28_44.pdf

    There are more on here that would appreciate that offer, it's very generous, and would be loved by the copper/freeman admirers! Anyway, regardless, happy Christmas to you too! That's extraordinarily kind!

    Someone knows their stuff! Are they particularly valuable, then?

    At the pub on the longest village green in England! A fabulous place, surrounded by tudor properties...so lucky to be a scamp within walking distance of this lovely location! Edit: disclaimer...none of my coins are stored at my registered address!
  12. Coinery
    Tch! I was writing before you, you just clicked first!
  13. Coinery
    There you go again, Dave, stop copying my posts!

    I would also have thought, in view of the prestige of owning coins from old catalogues, that, having important coins from a private collection featured in the Spink cat., would've mostly been a desirable thing! Notwithstanding the fact they probably have most of the images they require on file? Maybe they need an decent IT guy who can dig them out of the bowels of their hardrive?
  15. Coinery
    Yes, but Spink's have sold better coins than the 1578 3d I'm referring to! They don't need public contributions!Irony is it doesn't even have to be a 1578, it could be something rarer (mint mark) that they may sold as a single lot previously?
  16. Coinery
    People strike all the time! I wonder how easy it would be to shake the echelons of power by boycotting a Spink sale, declaring, stop taking the...? Give us a decent website, put some decent images in your expensive book, stop eating peeled grapes, you're falling behind!
  17. Coinery
    It's just about aesthetics, and the art of the whole thing! Just seems a really lazy thing to do? In a copy I'm looking at, a very common elizabeth 3d and halfpenny are clipped and damaged, an unnecessary inclusion into what is after all an expensive purchase?
  18. Coinery
    Haven't you got a job to go to, you're forever replicating my posts? Or am I replicating yours? Any thoughts on that price, it's surprising? Having said that, is your rarity lumped in an S-number with all the common stuff?
  19. Coinery
    How does that compare, is it a C1 shilling? Is it a levelling out of prices for that series? Edit: EF and rarity material aside!
  20. Coinery
    I can't open the images as I'm out at the moment with a poor connection. However, for further clarification, when you say creeping, do you mean in a malign way? I mean, have you watched these develop? If not, it's likely the result of old, old, grease on the coin, which has protected the surfaces from taking a tone? That's my first guess, at least?
  21. Coinery
    Here's a question for you? Why don't Spink's use images of the best available examples of type in their plates? They must surely have access to some pretty good imagery? I know some of the coins have only a couple of examples known but, excusing these, what about the rest?
  22. Coinery
    60/275 and 100/450 respectively. Thanks! Looking pretty stagnant as well, then! I did expect a small rise in the 6ds as a lot have sold really well in the auctions this year! Made me realise I sold a couple of coins a little too cheaply to a fanatic Liz collector! I really like him, though, so it's OK! I believe Chris Comber advises on most of his purchases.Edit: predictive text issues!
  23. Coinery
    Come on, tell me you didn't know this was going to happen? Can I ask a favour? What are the F and VF values of 2561 and 2577? These numbers best represent the non-rarity values of the Elizabeth sixpence and shilling, IMHO. 2013 had them: 2561 65/240 and 2577 110/450
  24. Coinery
    At risk of putting a silver moon in that dark night, though?
  25. Coinery
    If it's the green, acetone on a cotton bud would probably ease that away?
