by ther way it was the 1977 book i was on about I remember all the stuff about elizabeth in it.

yes they are best collected as type sets - too expensive otherwise

love to see obverse

I had a copy it fetched only about £5 on ebay read it myself , yes more about the history than the coins themselves . I would say its a must if you collect maundy but not much use for a general collector

Perhaps a single finger would have been better

When you buy a 1934 inacurate gradeing will be of little conseqence compared to finding out its a fake

Brexit coin that sez nothing , at least Mrs brown would have been honest and put "That's nice" on it .

Only £60 I think I got a bargain

fosters = Rat piss

"Regular member" LOL

daylight robbery , not guilty malord

I remember doing a sun crossword once and a question was sweetener in tea or coffee five letters - not very challenging

Newmismatist 100 222 posts Report post Posted 3 minutes ago D & H has the YORK Number 70 as 'Scarce', see bottom of first attachment. But I have found another reference by S.H. Hamer (second attachment) which says that only 200 of these were struck. Is that a printing error, because surely the rarity could not be just 'Scarce' if only that number were struck. I would have thought it would get an R rating, probably RRR. Thanks for any education offered. Prob a collectors edition then with that low a mintage - most are prob in higher grades I would think

Tokens like that have a duel following as they are great pictures of sailing ships from the 18th cent , they will alays be popular the liverpool halfpenny is a great coin as well

Nice coin only £20 off the bay bargain of the century after my Gs over G farthing of course

more like a wild turkey than an ostrich

I have never had a difficulton LOL

certainly

A collectable coin is generally one that has seen less than ten years in circulation that would leave it in Nvf grade or so , it also depends on the metal and the size of the coin as well - smaller coins circulate less so are less worn . In general most collections out there consist of average circulated coins , the exceptions or collections from fanatics (like you will find in this forum) Remember most collections consist of coins from circulation or coins brought back as momentoes by servicemen in the last war and just after - there are plenty quite common foreign coins as well as english .

After a quick look I spotted nothing rare in the uk coins , quite a bit of the collection is scrap silver as its such low grade , there are a few collectable coins in there as well

Yes but that might put buyers off buying his rubbish mighten it

"Five 50p Shakespeare commemorative coins," I would be really interested to see these

I have every sympath with someone who paid out good money for that rubbish

I'm sure I will not look that good even after 20 years
