Happy Birthday to both.

Sometimes i do look for letters and marks if it is metal,sometimes even old hinges have letters or mark,but im having problem with well known brand and no letters and mark on it specially Victorian and others etc it is very hard to research on who made it and where it came from. At least it is one of those piece will last for a life time maybe,not like other in industrial made and maybe not that good quality easily broken.

Happy Birthday BCC.

Very good thread. I have seen this topic before not sure which forum maybe in CC forum. Maybe it depends where the coins came from,where it is use,who will accept it and who authorize it,somewhat like debasement and purity of silver ever since....from first silver coin or flan to clipping in medieval times to metal composition of silver in the center of a silver coin.. to silver and gold standard, coins in far east have a hole in the center like China and other country like the giant circular stone..Rai stones,dont know when they started coins that have a hole in the center also cowrie shells is empty or nothing in the middle or inside i think.

Nice token. I did bought GETTONE token,,BELGIE 25c 1938 and several worn 191o downwards UKGB ... penny from car boot last June.

Happy 4th of July. Members can update this every year if members like. Just a comment.

Posting. Maybe same as this one? http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_694123 This is the nearest i think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comptometer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

Early mechanical adding and subtracting machine,from Abacus to calculator to cash register to computer,adding machine was invented by pascal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_calculator I do not know what denominations they have in 193o,if the nos. in the machine is fraction or not,add all nos. o-9...1-8 still 9 last digit decimal or predecimal?. just a comment.

Congrats Chris.

English language is getting harder and harder for me these days...still trying to learn. From start of this thread it is more like a passion for football like passion for politics and passion for raw and slab coins it is like debate in all isshhh language .English or Scottish At least i know the debate in slab coins that is enough for me.

Thanks for the info.

I do not know what are the laws of America regarding 1oo yr. old coins for importing or exporting coins,seen some article that there is an issve moving ancient and 1oo year old coins in America. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NhzlLRgrfgIJ:coins.about.com/b/2007/02/01/coin-collecting-faces-a-dire-legal-threat.htm+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ie There is a thread in this site abovt foreign coins and cvstom laws of each covntries,not svre if it is related to coin prices and not commvnicating to other markets.I thovgth there will be a comparison between GC of America and GB that may effect the price of a coin.seen some article year 2o14 that America cvstom did get several ancient coins do not know if they get british coin 18oo onwards bvt some articles are saying first 13 state coins of America in 16oo are not allowed to be exported i think .

young and old both dont hold back,older have a bigger thigh when they speak they make the young awe. Better for the young to walk with the old and wise...all the best for the team.

England did block several shot of Italy by the players not the goal keeper good defense. England keep attacking and kicking taking the play on there shovlder impressive for yovng players to take a shot. Maybe it is jvst me that I expect England will take them in second half they are yovng loads of energy.

Maybe someday England, or maybe Ireland may have a dream team or other new best player in there generation,,maybe Philippines may also pass the elimination it will take several generation to have good players for soccer,most like basketball in there soccer ball in the hoop in the early days of baskettball. Rvgby,soccer a team game like hand to hand...shovlder to sholder game of vnity. Like liverpool team when they win the cvp that they came behind,the coach of England is English like latin motto and can speak 5 langvage a lingvist maybe like others who like latin motto. Like other motto like measvre for measvre,ovnce for ovnce. Before the first half is over most players boith are tired i think. Hope England will pounce back in there next game.

New generation of player...they say mostly compose of yovng players....hope they play like america hockey team that beat Rvssia,by strength and resistance against veteran players,waiting for England players to move fast back and forth in the field it did not happen,..instead they are phasing and setting the game,Italy can gasp for air in that way...jvst a comment maybe next time british coach.

William Williams’ London (Middlesex) copper Conder halfpenny token dated 1795. Obverse: The arms of the City of London with legend: “FEAR GOD AND HONOUR THE KING 1795”. Reverse: A portcullis surmounted by the Prince of Wales’ crest with legend: “W. WILLIAMS LONDON”, “RENDER TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S”. Plain edge. Issued by William Williams who was originally a grinder and latterly a button manufacturer with a business at 103 St. Martin’s Lane, Charing Cross, London. It is thought he was Welsh by the inclusion of the Prince of Wales’ crest. I wonder if it's also a subliminal message to the future George IV, Prince of Wales in 1795 and already a 'bad sort'? HONOUR THE KING and RENDER TO CAESAR seems like a pretty clear advice for a wayward Prince. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour 1765-1795...4o years wonder when the word honvor first appear in token,i think it is british word,not latin or french like honor. Not a 'British' word, more a Norman medieval scribes' word, as they tried to make sense of marrying a basically Latin/French system of words to an existing Anglo-Saxon (Germanic/Norse) system. Thanks for the lead,that mvst be one episode or program on start of early english langvage,good history...that far thanks. http://en.wikipedia....nglish_language Nice token.

Might it be a previous sale? http://www.laidlawauctioneers.co.uk/about_us.html Maybe he is cataloging the site,by him self,he is arranging it by his own nos. in his site. Laidlaw 123a...123b by issve or by event and so on i think. http://southafricanmedals.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=3

Jvst be carefvll Chris,cats have sometimes have good thing, bvt can cavse astma to others,also pet is good thing ...they know if something is arvond the area in the air or soil,there is an increase of allergy to cows milk this days like what skiis have mentioned in the past...milk will be ban...maybe the immvne system of most people are on the decrease to mvch vse of antibiotic,immvne system is fvlly develope in 2 yrs old i think.

I will go to coin that is rare in pop report of PCGS,NGC and CGS...jvst a comment.

They say that most british coins is very hard to get in high grade in raw...especially in slab...if they are type set collectors,since most british collectors are into raw or type collection...i think. Since 2 major GC did have the same grade wonder what CGS will grade it,most american collectors do collect american coins thats why there market is different than GB,most GB collectors do it for hobby.not like america i think,,other collectors or investor who have money....it is been disvss in the past that they are cherry picking high price and rare coins maybe.... now they are going to british coins in slab since there is CGS GB company....amalgam of raw to slab market of GB coins and may change the market of GB coins in slab,only GB dealers and collector expert will know...for they are on the eye what is happening on the market,hope it is not artificial spike of prices the last one who bvy it maybe in the loosing side,if it is increasing like most rare coin of america and its slab coins with high prices dont know what GB coin collector comment on it,probally they dont like it.

Thanks Its referenced Laidlaw: 0123b but i cant find the book or the ref for it Thanks Its referenced Laidlaw: 0123b but i cant find the book or the ref for it Thanks for the info circa 19oo maybe events before 19oo. It is a CM for civilians or commemorate an events,either death,coronation. Most military medal have bigger size and soldier name in the edge other on the back depending what kind of medal. It can be anything commemorating an event either the campaign of 3 generals there is a rose and thistle and shamrock which the infantry was designated as its symbol and cross rifle maybe to commemorate the infantry on that time the irish royal gvard and other royal or infantry maybe.
