rpeddie

thanks for the help it was exactly what i was looking for as to what book to get would the groom one be better than the "THE STANDARD GUIDE TO GRADING BRITISH COINS" that i have seen being sold here? also any ideas where to get the freeman book(the 1558-1958 one i think it is) that explains die types and rarities and stuff? the misses will no doubt be even happier about my hobby after the books start rolling in

and for the GVI i look here, any improvements are helpful

these 3 areas

thanks for all the help really appreciate it looks like ill have to go to a fair to get my problem sorted(no easy task living in scotland) would i also be able to rack your brains as where the best place is to look for the GV and E2 sixpence would be? so far i have been looking just to the top of their heads( the further their hair goes back the better) whereas on the back i cant find a simple method i don't have any books yet but am about to break my virginity and get my first one this week

ive been focusing on collecting sixpence the last few months and i have run into a snag by the look of things, believe it or not i cant seem to get high grade elizabeth II coins as easily as i would have expected. what i am looking for is any advice on getting these coins in a high grade? i have bought quite alot of labeled "UNC/aUNC" and they all fall well short thanks for any advice

can i be a pain and ask someone to provide info( a website or further reading) onto freeman and how you are managing to see what dies there are? sorta new to this whole shibang

http://www.gcoins.net/en/catalog global coin identification/database by country http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_libras_sort_denomination.php same again but with a little but more information on the mintage's etc found it to be more useful with the American coin side of things http://www.silverbullionworld.com/index.html a list of silver bullion and mintages(common ones)

that guy a well known scammer or bad seller? or the total opposite? the more i know the better

ahh fair enough, the other one was this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEORGE-V-SILVER-SIXPENCE-1917-/251209415458?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=HL0r%2Fz33fPOt2K46CZ6xbFcDtdE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc next time i might give them a wee bid

what do people think of these 2, i know they are both high grade but not that high http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261152347098?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261152347098?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

hi people was just wondering if i could get some help with these coins to see where they come from and what they may be worth i managed to get them in a lot and cant seem to find what they are thanks in advance have quite a lof of the same coin with varying quality just looking for a price range also they seem to have different provinces, do these add different prices? thanks
