Ive seen several design on propose GB coin for EU in several site ,almost thier is new set of pattern for every year that is what my interpretation, So why they are making a pattern? when the answer is that GB is not joining EU and some site I think they are sellingthose pattern. So if someone saw a pattern it means that GB is not joining the EU, not to be interpreted that GB will join EU in proposed or designated time for thier is no agrement or arrangement being made for GB to join EU currency. There is something more I like to ask about the commonwealth, in thier coin they have the face of the queen, Since they are not part of EU like canada and Australia this 2 countries bares the queen face on thier coin, What will happen to the image of the queenn in AUS and CANADA when GB join the EU ? About commonwealth countries of GB are they independent or in the process? Im having difficulty in cutting where the authority of GB ends or not in its commonwealth countries because thier currency have the image of the queen.

Thanks gary for the info. I have several half crown not yet into crown. May I ask why they chose crown to counterfeit Why not other denomination.?

Seen sample coins on several site,a propose coin for GB for EU coin. Is GB planning to join the EU currency? seen on the news that the GB citizens are strongly oppose on EU constitution but favor the trade in EU. Any news or update on the status or position of GB and its citizens now.

One more thing. How moch is a soveriegn no mint mark in fine to EF condition?

To gary I saw an article written about death march, soldier and history, and coin but now I cant access the page even the link in CC I paste.www.qinteraction.com/filam/history.htm you may be right gary and I am wrong ten of thousands of filipino and american soldiers, to have a coin in thier pocket is like japanese dug up a mine of silver,but saw a documentary that a fall of bataan and corrigidor have stock pile of foods could last for several months but the higher authority ratio their men in meger ration.I dont know why I cant access the site you could try by search engine and the link maybe it is my computer or the story on the article itself,FILAM coins is a bargain thou a bitter history for both nation especially in USA considering it is under USA just guessing again on psyche of american, I can be wrong, seldom made a film about if you loss mostly winner film but one film is made I think base on austarlia. about death march. To geordie the article I saw in coinlink was reliving a coin of dead nation a featured coin was one of african nation, have many side but not round,I am wrong on my input sorry. But thanks to teg and geordie for posting an article and picture now I know octagon coin is used in the past.and still using it now. but dont know who first made it and what is the first metal was used.and why 8 side and not round.

Thats new a sourvenier or a touch piece for soldier, I think the soldiers in infamous death march in PHIL. have one coin for each soldier. If it is true dont know where they got this belief carrying coin in battle, inline to the article of the coin of the dead in coinlink, a coin for dead man walking just a speculation.

This is the second time that I encounter a querry on octagon coin one in CC and here, Some of thier response was that no one will going to made a coin like that, but seen some article that an octagon coin is a coin for the dead.I think it is one article in coinlink cant find it now Dont know the answer geordie,I dont know when the octagon was first made and where,

Thanks sly, The comp. exist the london coin offering slab coins by cgs base in GB cannot find the comp. site. thou. To be fair they should list the rooster from top to bottom,thier credentials and thier expertise. If they like they can have a representative a guest or member in this forum, if the forum moderator will allow. To answer question and reason to the readers and members of this forum.simply they have to comfront all critics and querry toe to toe,face to face on how good they are,not only on the number of coins they will sold but also how good is thier action and reason from every question ask.

Dying hobby? Thats why the GB govt and british museum encouraging folks in all walks of life to be active in thier heritage that include coin collecting,just heard in the news in the past. Wheter it is a history,numismatic,collector or investor. Yes the poll says it all,why they are making one comp. now.? Dont know about world coin investing,since many problems that the slab comp. facing in USA and the exchage rate is good as 1992. It is timely for me. If the collectors in britain dont agree with the company,Hope other world collector will,for me it depends on how good the comp. and thier staff. As other mentoined GB and US is entirely diff.For me chances are if the price goes up coz of slabbing next will be the investor base in the US buying coins slab in GB. for the source and expert are base in GB.IF THE COMPANY IS RELIABLE. If it fails someone tried it and settle all speculation and querry and time to moved on.in expense of thier pocket.

Yes the market, The first comp. will test the water,in comparison to USA the govt. are investing on it. That is yet to be know or find out in GB or europe. They are setting now the outcome is unknown. But the first step is unfolding.

Can a citizen of GB petition or recomend a bill to have a nationalised slab comp. And a portion of its profit can go to the govt. like NHS

Thank you ken, Ill do that till next time

proof images and how to identify them is a mystery to me,just pushing luck but possibility in having one is remote. just asking pointers for proof and normal,if budget allow I will buy 1911 normal also 1912 if it is still there, and hope I encounter some unlisted variety,Thank you ken,

Thank you ken,1912 s proof is new to me thanks again for the info. there are books mentioned s after date and s below the hoof of the horse, is this s mark is present only once? but not both s in the reverse of the coin?

They are many expert watching the new company,to keep on thier toes, The comp. is for investor cuing and buying coins in the mint,but for me the sum of it all is to the revenue the govt. will have, from the mint to which hands it will end up, the investor can have their slice but the circle of the money will go to the govt. even how many fold or cycle,the revenue is already use for public funding. For me that is the other side of coin collecting, in expense of thier collection for public funds.

A querry where can I see a mint mark of half sovereign of george the V in all mint and how to distingished a proof from normal one any variety on 1911 and 1912.

That is a very good thing to hear, a book with good quality picture like other antique book that I looked on book shop, just to look for a coin picture if there is no coin book around, I will buy a book with all modern coin and denomination with good quality picture a must have copy for normal struck,excluding variety you can include the variety if you like,Then published it in one huge volume just like a collection in picture,for I will have a difficult time having one in coins. Loads of cornwall clay to be used for paper gloss and multilayering color printing with base of primary color. Goodluck to all and to chris.

Well replace the tick boxes with images of one known coin in the series in high grade, like EMP have,wonder how many issue to buy to complete the nail images.

One that I observe in most ref. books is the priced guide,since the inclusion of colored picture for better images,As I said didnt see a book in all denominations of coin obv and reverse. It is expensive us author and publisher know,since you have an extra hand,building a site and compiling good quality picture and grade by the help of collectors expert and thier collection,the photogarding you like to materialized is getting nearer. Well I have a copy of your book,but the coin of britain represent only a portion in CCGB most of them are new find and result in auction houses or priced guide. since there are many books in CCGB and amazons that covers the coin of britain.They are not compiled for cost and publishing reason,I dont know if the ref. books is more into price most of them have that. But a book with good quality picture like the compilation of predecimal member or the collection of some one they know,I didnt see anything published, CCGB is not enough to cover the GB coin in one issue that is only my opinion,Maybe CCGB with volume issue per year for modern,victorian,milled or celtic.but the result the failure and success of selling the volume is risky depends on how many will buy. Most of the collector also spend more on books also in coin,It is more on idealistic than a reality for the judge will be the sales and will risk the time,effort and money publishing it. Maybe published it in volume in one time and updated in the future.

Yes it is a good idea for ticking the collection more a personalized book your signature maybe also new if you like next time you sign it,it is upto you to charge. Im thinking more like cherry picker guide in USA or extremely rare in GB.it will be new didnt know like that.

maybe that is the problem, that they dont published in books or in the web and members in other site only,I didnt tried to download a picture in the web dont know really thier defense or security measure. since you are doing the site now,thier is a line between toned and high grade coin that is also a topic I observe in the web,just another additional info or again picture.

It is same as other forum, while other are ahead they have an image gallery like the omnicoin or cionpeople all they have to do is compile them to one folder and published it in the web. both an exposure for thier forum and records of coin of thier member. Guest just imagining things, all coins will be on one website,NGC may all the preserva picture didnt published it or ebay. Goodluck hussulo, Im with you,Just want to see all coins and denomination it is near to imposibble the space it will take will be huge,even browsing it will occupy space in normal computer.especially in high quality picture or scan. Thank you for the time and effort,hope for the best,the link is good idea.will see maybe in due time you can post all coins by the help of expert. Just dont allow others to download picture especially the rare one,they might use it for something else. It is all up to you now.

How about rare coin of britain or compilation of extremely rare. If others motivate by something others will be motivated by rarity and price.

Well another forum, well you are the one who is building the new site, but the coins and image will be contribute by members and other good guest in this forum. One of the problem encountered in image gallery or other forum is time,effort and space for taking picture and putting them on the site. Thats why the whole collection of coin will not be place in one album or one site, coz every one has one or another already in thier own album, but seeing the whole collection for every year both obverse and reverse the variety and mint set, proof set. will take a lot lot of space and effort, that a single collector will have a hard time. Completing every coin in every year is more or less the compilation of images most books and web site that was published,all the forum moderator can do is to ask permission to member to copy or put them into e a web page and published it in the web. There will be a hole especially the rare coins even downloading pictures yuo have to ask first,since many expert colector replied it will be not that hard. Even in some other site you have to be a member to see the gallery,I thought your site will be an extension of this forum to store all britain coins from time in memorial till present ,that sometimes chris have to delete something for space. Guess seeing all coins in good condition will take time,for putting one in web cost.

Thank you guest it is in the making,Good thing to here there are many slabbing comp. base in US and one in canada if my memory is right. It is better that GB goes first before any country in europe and the tax that the govt. will earn will help a lot in expense of collector but bring some good for the country and its people. Hope that other expert will join in for better result.
