  1. Well if you'er talking "the only one" well that's most of my collection However this has got to take some beating ( to me personally ) its a love token found on ebay and traceable back through my husband's family tree. His mother's name Ayling and the place Alverstoke adjacent Portsmouth to where the family originated.
  2. Slightly better than a fairground stall then perhaps Bagrap? Never mind,worth the speculation if nothing else. Richard I hope those bullets are used ones!
  3. ...but must have been very valuable to someone at one time! Probably the only coin that my son son has taken an interest in and has taken it to school as part of his WW11 project.
  4. I don't need to google it - I am quite aware of what you are referring to Peck! Men Boys
  5. Hasn't really worked that well given there were no actual bidders......
  6. I've yet to find an engraved coin that has been slabbed .....phew!
  7. You can even wrap a number of posts in double quote tags, so they all appear together ~ as above. Useful if you are replying to a few posts all relating to the same point, within a larger post reply. You mean, put an extra [quoote] at the beginning and an extra [/quoote] at the end? (Misspellings necessary just here, of course ) Ooooh yes now I see it Peck - thanks!
  8. Which button is the multiquote button then? I have always used the insert quotation icon and cut and pasted the bits that others have said that I wanted to appear between the two brackets.
  9. Some love tokens can be made up from individual stamped letters but its unlikely to be a love token if its been counter stamped as one whole design. Love tokens are usually one off pieces and counter stamps are designed to be used to mark a number of coins. Counter stamps (as I am learning) is a whole new area of research!
  10. I went for the first time last June - it was my first coin fair too. Had a great time, easy to get find (always a bonus for me) friendly bunch of people, exhibitors and other browsers alike. Keep meaning to go again. I did think at the time it would've been useful if all fellow forum members wore a badge displaying their avatar then we could introduce one another.
  11. That's a little different Paul - thanks for posting , will be watching with interest.
  12. You know that's really strange as I had this feeling that you weren't a girl - otherwise I would've said hello earlier! (not that I have anything against men you understand )
  13. That's one of the beauties of collecting coins, unlike some hobbies I can think of such as golf or footie and horse riding! However not so good if every coin that you collect is unique!

    That's useful thanks Peter - especially for collectors of random foreign host coins!
  15. Not really a laugh but wow...here Didn't see that coming!
  16. Grumpy old men..
  17. I bet those are the coins that had sentimental value though....
  18. Yep it's here My link Ha,ha - now if that had been a link for a the Ferrari test driving track ....
  19. Happy birthday Scott!
  20. Ooh thanks chaps! Have been suitably spoilt with shopping and cake. Have finally been able to order that book on love tokens that I have been hankering after. No coins but a riding lesson at the Spanish riding school in Madrid. Er will need a course of lessons here in preparation me thinks.
  21. I always thought meant "don't blame me" ! I'm inclined to think means asleep!
  22. Why thank you Clive... unfortunately no milled shillings or "altered" coins there for me this time. what is this emotion?
  23. Here's one of the best to compare with - 1930 is THE key date apparently for these. here Its one of my favorite portraits.But I haven't managed to find an engraved example of one yet.
  24. Oh it must be almost time for your trek /commute home now then ....sorry!
  25. Still snowing here in Leicestershire. Haven't had to leave the house though -one of the perks of working from home!
