Rob Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Can anyone on the forum put a name to the previous owner of the coin tickets pictured below. Dimensions are about 39 x 15mm and they are approximately the thickness of 2 present day coin tickets. Two tickets were written per coin giving the details as shown. They must have been written post 1991 as North wasn't published until then. They don't appear to match anything in Eaglen, Mitchell and Pagan written in 2001. Thanks. Edited May 30, 2006 by Rob Quote
TomGoodheart Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) They must have been written post 1991 as North wasn't published until then.Surely North appeared in 1975, Rob? Anthony Wilson at York Coins normally shows tickets if a coin has an interesting provenance. If there is nothing matching on the website (I haven't checked in detail) he may respond to an email. They are certainly quite unusual being rectangular. Otherwise I think I remember seeing a book with coin tickets in it but 'fraid I can't remember the details.Doh! After a search I realise it was that very article I was thinking of - sorry! Edited May 31, 2006 by TomGoodheart Quote

After a search I realise it was that very article I was thinking of - sorry!Sorry Richard, 1975 not 1991. I was on autopilot and just copied the date out (3rd ed.) without thinking. I picked up a couple of lots at St. James' no.4, lots 220 H6 1/2ds & 271 H7 pennies and a H8 1/2d. Both lots had the same style of ticket and each coin had two as per the picture. There were a few other lots with these tickets too which I didn't bid on. Usually, general sales are an excuse for dealers to offload the stuff they can't sell so I wondered if anyone had picked up anything from a dealer with the same style. Quote
