Diaconis Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Poor chap murdered for a 'haul' of Beatrix Potter 50p's, what is the world coming to? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6718067/Burglar-32-stabbed-coin-collector-death-stealing-rare-Beatrix-Potter-50p-pieces.html 1 Quote
1949threepence Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Complete insanity. Absolutely lost for words that any coin collector could do this. Poor guy. Quote
copper123 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I think that the person who did this was more a seller of the coins on ebay than a collector Quote
Peter Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Awful,but hardly rare coin collectors. Exactly how many Beatrix Potter coins could one want? Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 I think want is a dangerous term, one may have a requirement for some, in a manner that enables a complete collection, but want isn't necessarily the correct verb. Quote
Peter Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 50p's to me are just things to flip. I confess to owning Kew, Olympic set, A-Z and a few other examples.I live my life in the fast lane. Numismatically I neither want or require them. 2 Quote
