Sunrise over my hometown; Bideford, North Devon.

It's class 5; so will either be London or Canterbury

A soak in olive oil wouldn't hurt.

It's a French jeton c.1400, yours looks brass? my two examples of this type are copper.

Another one for £870 this time. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-AA01-5-POUND-NOTE-PLASTIC-POLYMER-UNCIRCULATED-SERIAL-NUMBER-/252547704547?nav=SEARCH

Recent sale for AA01 on ebay, think this finished this evening. 391569192050

Yes please, I'd be interested.

Ah! I couldn't understand how such a common year had been missed! Thanks.

After quite a few months of searching, I have managed to get hold of a copy of Peck for a very reasonable price. First impressions are very good; A lot of information and the plates are superb. One thing I noted while flicking through was 1936 being missed for penny, halfpenny and farthing. Has anyone else noticed this? It's not an issue, I have a copy of Freeman to reference bronze.

I think the date reads VS1977 (1920).. which would make it KM 690.1?

How do I get hold of a hard copy of the catalogue?

I bought a 5kg of mixed copper/bronze for around £30 a while back, it kept me busy for a month or two. Managed to take what I wanted and sell the rest on for a small profit. £75 for 15kg seems reasonable to me, more so if you can check them out in person beforehand.

Same seller has a few Unc.. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Queen-Victoria-Mauritius-5-Cents-1897-unc-/331820490376?nav=SEARCH

Sounds like a sensible plan, it's the only bugger I'm missing, all the others I've picked from circulation and reluctant to pay silly money for it.
