Impressive place have been to a couple of antique and collectors fairs there, and it really is a great place to visit

A-UNC and NEF from me second is in similar grade really but less desireable due to week strike and stains

These five farthings are currently on sale for a bargain £149 pounds for the lot - personally I would not give a fiver for the lot

Something from china that will make everyone laugh Esp marleybob in a workshop at the moment bending this and trying to make it look old. What a fu king rare coin

The mary rose £2 is another

how about the 2019 10p and its low mintages - not a peep

Strange thing about decimals is that the mass media seem to control the prices of the coins and the market selling price - just the mearest hint that a coin might be a bit valueable can send demand soaring and double the price of a coin overnight . Take the 2015 ship £2 a really low mintage and quite hard to find yet because the mass media have not publicised the coin the coin ,no demand, same with the underground £2 and the sufragette 50p . It seems we live in a society where we are told something is rare by the press and suddenly it is , very strange

Obviously a hot part if china or maybe thats just the curry

That shilling is a good one - I would be happy with that one reverse is abt unc and obverse looks slightly worse . The trouble with the OH obverse is they always look slightly worn even if they haven't been ,Victoria's hair is usually the giveaway. Tone is great and something to be loved

For some reason 1887 shillings and sixpences are very common in high grades I really wish edward and old head shillings sixpences and florins were as easy to find they are still missing from my type set - prob 'because i'm a mean ****er

A bit hard to get to unless you have a car - you can get there by rail wakefield - manchester but its quite a walk from the station and busses are less frequent on sundays - taxi is best And sorry I cannot grade that JH shilling much better than fine - a dealer should be shot for selling that as VF - at that grade is pretty much scrap silver . You could pick an EF up for £8 - £10

The person who bought them - took them out of circulation years ago and probably died in the 1730's , I seriously think he never recieved any folding money for them

Slabbing has death conutations , if you call it slabbing is it death of a coin? Entombing is not much better

Over the years I have bought many coins from the horwich parkway collectors fair , there is usually one a month . In the last two years or so nice finds have gone lower and lower as the old dealers die and are not replaced with younger ones but I still go every so often hopeing to find something nice Coin collectors are like rotweilers they never give up .

I think york is arround 85 miles from manchester , its a great hunting ground , there is a collectors fair at horwich parkway at the bolton stadium in the spring summer and autumn The birmingham fair is only 100 miles away

stupid fuels

China petrol station

Books are best for a young or starting out collector , try not to buy at first but borrow from a library , it should not cost you much that way Buy a few books esp out of print ones - you usually get your money back for them if you get bored .

I have also heard that our brucie had a terrible temper as well, it's only an adoring large crowd that he was interested in , oh and a big pair of knockers as well

NOT NICE TO SEE YOU NOT NICE , DICKHEAD ! LOL

More like it aquired that tone on a trip back from wuhan

WOW sum great songs there
