  1. Yes I don't remember this one either - filled die I'm guessing?
  2. Ah yes, I'd forgotten about those. Generally I stick to coins that have the King or Queen on them though. Not sure how they decided on whether to have that or not way back when.
  3. I saw one of the Gouby books on ebay a while ago - keep your eyes peeled.
  4. Yeah, as much as I'd like a one-stop book that covers it all, specialist books win out every time. Unfortunately, there are few (let alone in print) specialist books on many British Commonwealth countries.

    All Forums Not Appearing

    Not sure - seems okay for me right now.
  6. Looks like it - the prices at https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/spinks-catalogue-british-colonial/ are higher.
  7. Does anyone have copies or know where I could get access to Royal Mint annual reports from 1977 and onwards? https://library.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/archive/royal-mint-annual-reports has up to 1976, but I'm trying to track down some Solomon Islands coins from 1977 onwards.
  8. No luck with the Royal Mint's collectors bulletin you mentioned earlier either? I suppose this was probably marketing coins of the United Kingdom though (although the Royal Australian Mint has sold coins of other South Pacific countries).
  9. I would very much echo the "buy a book" sentiment. Collectors Coins Great Britain which is sold by the forum owner is a good starter.
  10. In Australia at least there were experiments from the 1940s onwards I believe with chrome-plated dies which gave the coins a much brighter finish - maybe the Royal Mint were doing something similar?

    Unusual 1945 Penny

    I thought it stood for Chipped Up Die or something like that, though I'm not sure if that's true.
  12. Does anyone have Bull volume II (gold coins from 1816 onwards)? I'm wondering whether to buy it or whether Marsh's books (and subsequent updates) contain the same information.
  13. I got in contact and they say it will be back soon.
