I must admit italian coins have had such a colorful existance over the years I am surprised you dont just specialise in them . Remember napoleons italy and mussolini

Books in italian on english coins are probably non existant , a pity but not surprising as there would be a very small market and so specialist

OMG, SO VERY SORRY PETER

Perhaps MP would get the message if we all sent him a copy of the Who's single "won't get fooled again"

Just to deviate from the subject a little I went to Aston Hall in Aston. Birmingham after the coin fair in birmingham last month and the seal knot were doing a civil war demo (as the roundheads) it really was very good and free as well. I hope next year it is repeated

LOL at scott refering to W and M washers

Coin values in a certain part of the market may be subdued but only because of a lack of collectors , in otherwords it does not matter if your coin is rare as hens teath if no one is interesting in collecting it the item WILL NOT SELL AND ITS PRICE WILL ALWAYS BE LOW. This is why for instance halfpennies are alway sold at a very reasonable price considering their rarity and the ever popular pennies and farthings lead the market. I imagine that the only way to profit from this might be if you had inside knowlege over a book coming out in a particular sector , though most new info in the numismatic world appears online now . And HURRY UP with that farthing variety book colin!

Screams FAKE!

Remember to a penny collector crispness of strike is always important but not so to say a farthing collector whos coin collection is not really upset by infrior strikes like a penny collectors is

I think that on ebay you should get at least £30 for that coin even if it's not a reverse no stop (and it could well have a stop there ) it should get £20 as it's basicly nice grade for that issue. So if you want a reserve start it at £30

I love the high dot after GULIELMUS

Would be nice to do some short films around stately homes ,london bridge or a few north wales castles . Tower of london and buck house might be good as well , as long as its not shot down (I have no knowlage of the legal bits of photographing these places from the air), I surpose there are laws

There is that bloke in the states that............

£50 - £65 would be a fair price , possably it might get to £75

Civitas Eboraci was the later mint I am forgeting the norman influance on our language after 1066

Anyone know where this EOFE mint was ? Just interested . I can usually work out where the mint is on later coins but this one has me stumped (prob because I dont have any books on the subject )

Possably the fall in price of gold helped this along too

people who call cn silver - dont think I am alone in that one

"Define Uncirculeted" How much am I bid for this extreamly rare vatiety , one of a kind never circulated , never to be seen again one of a kind R20 freeman scale. Bids start at £1,500

Ok ,Sorry yes, I throw the odd mistake in myself from time to time, so I will not be the first to cast a stone

Back to the original statement "Define Uncirculeted"Uncirculeted is a spelling mistake that should never happen LOL

I agree sheldon scale is superb if it had been introduced 100 years ago numismatics (In the uk) would be in a far better place now that it is

his private collecton went in the seventies didn't it ? From memory so could easy be wrong

Ditto - don't send for melt though better than that

Birmingham fair in September might be a good idea
