    Oh yeah, I've bought off of him, only from his auctions. He does get some decent pieces from around the world he auctions.

    I love the way its listed under Elizabeth II sixpence why can he not get the simplest thing right do you think I should email him and tell him he has it wrong or do you think I will get an insulting reply.

    I am very new to collecting and I have a question about the $10 British Virgin Islands 1900 - 2000 coin issued in 2000 1 oz silver coin.

    The only examples I can find online have no gem insert and I'd like to know how rare or valuable the coin is. So does anyone here know where I can find such information.

    ...

    I also have a £2 South Georgia & south sandwich islands 2000 1 oz silver coin which has the crown crest and celebrates the queen mothers 100th Birthday. It also has a small gem insert.

    Well that sounds like one 'ell of a challenge !😉

    But, how are you going to be sure it's not one from one of the year sets already released being scanned and posted...

    copying off the internet is bad form :( you can tell from a left click can't you

    the year set coins have a mint mark as well

    Hey it's only a bit of fun there is no prize at the end of it  - I would expect them to be found in one of our big cities like Birmingham or -Manchester - Glasgow or Coventry, they usually get released in these places

  4. The first £1 coins featuring King Charles III are entering circulation this week.

    Almost three million coins have been issued to post offices and banks across the country.

    The coins mark the King's new reign and celebrate his love of the natural world, with the reverse side featuring a pair of bees.

    Even as the King becomes a familiar sight on coins, those featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation. New sets of coins are struck in response to demand.

    "It is an honour to reveal that King Charles III’s £1 coin is now in circulation," said Rebecca Morgan, director at the Royal Mint.

    "We know there’ll be a buzz of excitement amongst collectors and the public to get this special piece of history in their change."

    FIRST TO SCAN ONE AND PUT THE PICTURE ON HERE WINS!


  5. Worth more like $82 while its had little wear the coin appears badly struck and would be difficult to sell in this condition - is this one of the better grading houses in the us or are they "Cowboys"?

    No postage specified, otherwise I might have made him an offer of £1, just to see his reaction!

    First time I have noticed the "Ebay automated Feedback". How long has this been going on? Positive but "This seller successfully completed an order" certainly counts as "Damning by faint praise!

    That buyer would not be a full shilling methinks

    Would you believe it I have found another "Mule" in my recent buy on ebay.

    This time its a quarter sov and a half farthing mule struck on a brass flan , really interesting

    This of course makes it one of the very few coins with two different dates on it 1848 and 1849

  9. Both coins are in lowish sort of grades so it would be foolish to say if they were a filled die or not , you would have to find several much higher grade coins to say with any certainty , shows I spotted it as well though doesn't it?


  10. Just discovered another new variety of Lauer's model coins this time its a Half crown 1897 quite a scarce coin anyway I have both varieties one reads HALF CROWN and the other HALF  ROWN in other words the "C" is missing .

    Anyone any idea if its listed?
