  1. If there is no "No returns " policy does that count for the time limits that people put as well Ie 7 days or 14 days if so you would be allowed to return the coin / coins after say six months . Seems like a great deal for buyers
  2. If you give it a ring and compare the sound to another genuine silver hammered coin it sould tell you if its in the right metal
  3. Well the truth is its either a fake or not , there is no middle ground i'm afraid. so its either worth £200 or £2
  4. why would someone" give away" a £200 coin - just a thought.
  5. by ther way it was the 1977 book i was on about I remember all the stuff about elizabeth in it.
  6. yes they are best collected as type sets - too expensive otherwise
  7. 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
  8. Perhaps a single finger would have been better
  9. When you buy a 1934 inacurate gradeing will be of little conseqence compared to finding out its a fake
  10. Brexit coin that sez nothing , at least Mrs brown would have been honest and put "That's nice" on it .
  11. Only £60 I think I got a bargain
  12. fosters = Rat piss
  13. "Regular member" LOL
  14. Lovely coin
  15. daylight robbery , not guilty malord
  16. I remember doing a sun crossword once and a question was sweetener in tea or coffee five letters - not very challenging
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Nice coin only £20 off the bay bargain of the century after my Gs over G farthing of course
  20. more like a wild turkey than an ostrich
  21. I have never had a difficulton LOL
  22. 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 .
