    Hey!

    That first one looks as if it may have been guilded at some point and probably of sentimental value to someone sometime in its history. Sadly it is not of monetary value though.
  5. Ahhh yes but surely all you gentlemen coin collectors are loaded....
  6. Just noticed - hope you are enjoying yourself!
  7. No but the other suggested buy it now is! !
  8. I've just added that to my watch list Clive! Thanks.
  9. Mongo I've PMed you. Ski thanks for that - nice lettering - I've seen mother, father, sweetheart,auntie, son, daughter, grandmother - I've even found a ? and a !
  10. Here's an interesting way to display a coin.... here
  11. I suppose coins are no different from any antique object really. We'd all prefer the genuine article in pristine condition. There will always be a place and a market for restored pieces rather than modern replicas. Just wish all people were honest about it!
  12. Thanks for your nice comments chaps. Peck I didn’t bid as I bought this one from a dealer Charles Snowden. It actually came in a broach but is easily removed. Stuart, it’s not my clever photography as the photos are theirs and I can’t really detect that “blueness†on the actual coin in hand. Dave I’m off now to Google dreadnought – thanks!
  13. Haven’t bought an engraved coin for a while…....well for months at least. Here’s one which Mongo tipped me off on (what has happened to him?)
  14. I have heard that tomato ketchup works well....
  15. :D Chris did say he WASN'T giving a prize you know!
  16. At 999....
  17. Leesa are you a bot or are you related to Josie - or even Peter?
  18. Peck if you look at his feedback and view all comments there are some which allow you to view the items purchased off him.
  19. And what an earth is "zinc luster"? ?
  20. If you have Publisher you can use the transparency icon in the tool bar to get rid of the "square white background" It looks like this
  21. As lots of people buy coins like these because they think it’s a form of investment which one day will be more than they paid for, shouldn't there be the same some sort of standard warning/disclaimer as you get on an endowment policy ie You may not get back what you paid in sort of thing?
  22. What size is that Scott? Paper sounds interesting - are they emmbossed?
  23. Wow now that is different! Looks like Rhodium is the way to go...... but calcuim?
  24. Oooooh we are into the 990's now ....time for Chris to get rid of some more spam ne thinks?
  25. Ahhh what a softie you are Richard! Interesting idea (I am afraid it would be out of my price range) especially if it increased in value over the decades. Are there any porfoilios/bonds where money is invested in very rare coins - apart from that American pyramid type scheme we were introduced to a while back - oh and Rob's bank account !
