    Looks like it - the prices at https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/spinks-catalogue-british-colonial/ are higher.
  2. Mr T
    Thanks, I'll look into that.
  3. Mr T
    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.
  4. Mr T
    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).
  5. Mr T
    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.
  6. Mr T
    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?
  7. Mr T
    I thought it stood for Chipped Up Die or something like that, though I'm not sure if that's true.
  8. Mr T
    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.
  9. Mr T
    I got in contact and they say it will be back soon.
  10. Mr T
    Interesting. I don't there was ever any consensus on the dot on 1922 pennies which looks quite similar.
  11. Mr T
    Looks like something but not a V to my eyes.
  12. Mr T
    I was looking at the Royal Mint Museum's website recently and was unable to find a listing of all the coins - I know it used to be at http://collection.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/index.asp (it could be filtered by year etc) but it looks like this is now gone. Was it replaced or is it coming back again?
  13. Mr T
    Hm, the B in BRITT looks too close to Victoria's head to be obverse 6, but I don't see an LC WYON either.
  14. Mr T
    Not in the 3rd edition (1964) of A Guide Book of English Coins.
  15. Mr T
    No joy with the first two but https://www.britnumsoc.org/images/PDFs/1967_BNJ_36_26j.pdf opened up for me.
  16. Mr T
    A shame he didn't publish the raw numbers for the lower denominations. I'm sure I read he got interested in the 1940s when he was in primary school (I think). I don't remember where I saw that though.
  17. Mr T
    Yes looks to be back now.
  18. Mr T
    Still keep your own copy - last year something went awry and Google was incorrectly classifying people's personal files as pirated content.
  19. Mr T
    English Silver Coinage 30th Anniversary edition by P Alan Rayner is still saying September 2024 which seems like quite a lead time for this sort of book. Also, is http://www.spinkbooks.com/ not loading for anyone else at the moment?
  20. Mr T
    It was mentioned in a recent Coin News but in cased you missed it, Hocking's catalogue of the Royal Mint collection (and Webster's as well) is available at https://library.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/archive/catalogues-of-the-royal-mint-museum-collection?

  21. Mr T
    Got pictures of the fake 1850 shilling?
  22. Mr T
    Sounds like how ebay works these days...
  23. Mr T
    Nice, well that answers that.
  24. Mr T
    Where's the Freeman 8B numbering from?
  25. Mr T
    I don't care for Discord as a forum replacement - not so easy to search, and it's very easy to miss a discussion if you leave it too long. Forums and threads work best I think, and that's what I prefer.
