Even Rogers knew there were more than that - after all there were 100 copies of his book made , and they are pretty hard to find at this time. I have wanted one for ages

I surpose rarity puts a lot off, who wants to wait five years for a set you want off ebay when we live in a "I want it now " society and people simply expect everything delivered at the push of a button.

I did say minimum , it could also fetch a lot more , if its unlisted by rogers it makes it really rare , could fetch anything....
-
I would say its worth £120 minimum there again it take two to start a bidding war. A couple of the silver coins don't look to clever but as a whole its a great set I will have to carry on picking them up as singles :0)

Wow, great , a much rarer set than 1902 and 1887 sets are much more common ,wish i could afford to buy sets like that in the original box it must have cost a pretty penny

I also wonder if Mary austin has actually done the right thing over the years , Freddies mansion, (It was a mansion) could have been opened to the public in a tastefull way of course ,and the garden lodge could have been a massive earner for AIDS charities instead of being just another big house in chelsea . Well what is done is done, and at least the majority of the cash will be heading to charity

Imagine yourself standing in front of a screaming British crowd, red cape draped behind you and a crown above your head. It’s a feeling that’s been reserved for a few monarchs, and one other legend: Freddie Mercury, lead singer of Queen in his final tour for the legendary band. Now, you too could feel like a Queen when his private collection goes on auction. Sotheby’s has announced 1,500 items from Mercury’s private collection will go on auction in London this September. The collection includes costumes and lyrics from Mercury’s days in Queen, as well as artworks from Matisse and Picasso. All the objects come from Mercury’s Garden Lodge home in the prestigious London neighbourhood of Kensington where he lived until his death in 1991. Sealed for over 30 years, the auction will give the public insight into the enigmatic singer’s life through the things he surrounded himself with. “I like to be surrounded by splendid things. I want to lead a Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter,” Mercury once said. Before the auction, Sotheby’s is touring a display of its highlights across New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong in June, before coming to London in August for a month.

Oil is not something normally something that is associated with snooker but I surpose its safer to protest in a snooker hall rather than throw yourself under a formula one car after all look what happened to that suffragette in 1913

seen them in the canary isles - mind you everything grows there... -
By the way heres the difference between a coin with its silver coating and one with none
-
Take a look at this is it in Rogers? Clearly in the wrong metal might be a one off but I doubt it as I own two!
-
Well depends how much , tin is fairly unstable but given its cost probably the most likely . Would explain why most silver coins are now in a poor state . Pretty sure they have an iron core...
-
Does anyone know what the metal is coating the "Silver" coins that Lauer produced my best bet is aluminium but I dont know if anyone has looked into it - I am pretty sure its not a thin coat of silver . Rogers book would probably tell me but I don't have a copy....
-
Think I would prefer the coins , LOL.

I have around 35 different pieces all different some of the reverses feature various animals and or other subjects - I strongly suspect they were for various board games like "monopoly" but we never will be sure unless someone comes across a full box , highly unlikely as they weere relatively expensive in early victorian times. The other posibility is they were used as card counters
