*cough* That's a VERY thin coin.

Yes, they meet up. I'll see if I can get some kind of shot of the edge.

Is this 1947 penny of any interest?

Hopefully this will link to some better photos: https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipOeTuMiwcDLbv3q8YGwwPmVahlrK4nQq0HsLALL

Well to be fair, I've never seen one like that before so it must be rare. And I'm willing to bet you haven't got one!

I won9'mt be able to typ7e muc8hn t8hnis weekend because I9'mve 7gbot all excited about t8hne 6 Nations and sp7illed c8hnamp7a7gbne on my keyboard. :(

I don't even understand why it's being sold. I'd take one look at that auction and automatically disregard every other item the seller has. Even if it is some kind of Polish pharmaceutical product.

Or you need a new button for your donkey jacket.

I'd need to know if they were contemporary or a later addition. Makes this nice grade coin look not so bad after all. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1918KN-GEORGE-V-BRITISH-PENNY-COIN-NICE-GRADE-SCARCE-/161953571211?hash=item25b52f618b:g:8UIAAOxyZzlTdUmX

Just put them on the table to take the photo, that'll be fine. But spacing rings...now you're talking!

Yup. That. Where's the dislike button?

That's a great job. Even looks to have aligned the screw heads too which shows it's a proper job. Although I prefer them horizontal myself.

And Gary, that is one lovely bit of kit. I covet it. Nice to hear that Peter will make / modify to your specifications.

This! This bothers me - it's not right and gets on my OCD nerves! ?

It's the eternal dilemma - more coins or something to put them in. ? By the way, I have been admiring your rapid work so far - some very nice half crowns you've got there. ?

That's not as easy as you make it sound. Internal diameter 20mm has an outside diameter of 26mm. Although I'm being a bit of a pedant - your point is that there would be some sort of acceptable workaround. Having said that, I can't see any spec on the depth of a capsule, and the drawers have a 6mm capacity which I suspect may not be deep enough.

Errr...not entirely. As in I haven't really got any. The trays are on top of the bookcase.

I didn't think the green from a PCV wallet or album was the same as verdigris? I thought it was due to the chlorine leaching out from the PVC over a number of years?

Well, most of my collection is in 13 Lindner trays, which I can always buy more of. I do like it for the farthings because it's a nice snug fit. It's the early dates, about 1860-1874 that are in the plastic wallets, plus the overspill of other denominations. Certainly, a few more trays would be a cheaper option. Are you saying you use the albums with the pocketed sleeves, into which you insert a paper envelope? If so, how do you see them? I like to have a nose at mine...

One reservation I have is the size of holes in the trays - 22mm being the smallest. For the silver 3d at 16.5mm, that's quite a lot of scope for movement. But apart from that, the 28 trays a Crozier holds would accommodate my completed (as if!) collection nicely, making it a one time investment. Anyone else want to help me talk myself into it?

I can't stop looking at that Crozier cabinet now.

I know, I know. I've just been reading the thread on cleaning decontaminating with acetone. Anyone know if it works on what I assume is some sort of chlorine residue? To be fair, I don't think any of the good stuff is affected as they're more recent purchases. Mostly the stuff I've had for 30 years or more, but I need to think about offloading some to free up funds for better specimens. The mahogany cabinets are beautiful. But do you know how many farthings I can buy for those prices? I'm not sure I can justify that as I don't have that many really high grade specimens.
