Chris Perkins Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Don't email her, reply in here and make her jolly well come back and look! Who does she think we are, a private coin valuation service! It's a discussion forum for heavens sake Value is around £11.00 for an 1838 Cent in fine condition, much lower if it's lower than good, and much higher if it reaches EF. Quote

Edward Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I emailed Joanne Bray telling her that Sam had posted an answer to her question, so we'll see if she takes up the invitation to come back. Quote
Guest Guest Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 yes i got the reply thank u edward. but i dont who u think u bloody are chris. i asked for someone to email me coz im due to have a baby this week and i get my emails sent to my phone as well as my computer. so excuse me if i couldnt manage to get on the bloody internet to have a look. SOME PPL MUST JUST GO OUT THERE WAY TO B RUDE. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Get a sense of humour and notice the smiley faces Ms Bray! Forgive me for coming over a little ratty, it can sometimes be tiresome when some slightly rude people (although, not yourself included) demand to know about their coins all day, every day. I may have been mistaken and automatically put you in the catagory too.Best wishes to you and the baby. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 be careful in future chris...and, yes, best wishes to you and the baby Quote
william Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) yes i got the reply thank u edward. but i dont who u think u bloody are chris. i asked for someone to email me coz im due to have a baby this week and i get my emails sent to my phone as well as my computer. so excuse me if i couldnt manage to get on the bloody internet to have a look. SOME PPL MUST JUST GO OUT THERE WAY TO B RUDE.Well, isn't that nice? Chris is a very nice bloke, and he started this forum so that people could actually use it as a forum, not tell us to email you, what do you think this place is mate? Secondly, you are the one being rude, not Chris, if he starts a forum it should be used properly! Chris answered your question, so maybe you could thank him for it, rather than swearing at him! My advice to you is get a life and a sense of humour, and stop being such a sensitive arse! Edited May 6, 2004 by william Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Steady on William!Harsh words there, but thanks for the defence. In your eyes I can do no wrong....Hmmm, if only you had more money to spend with me! (Joke) Quote
kuhli Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Don't email her, reply in here and make her jolly well come back and look! Who does she think we are, a private coin valuation service! It's a discussion forum for heavens sake ummm, Chris, speaking of coin valuation services, what is the status of www.coinvaluation.com?? Just curious. I never saw it before you took it down, but it looks like you had a decent site with it. Quote
william Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Have you taken coin valuation down? Why did you do that? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Well, I changed the hosting arrangement and at the same time wanted to give it a revamp (mainly to make it more difficult to get a free valuation, because they were such a drain on resources).It's been down a couple of weeks, and it's so nice to have peace and quiet on that side of things! I expect I'll put it up again soon, but I don't think I have the time to provide a free service anymore. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) It doesn't matter really because people can come on here and post questions rather than bother Chris 24-7.(400th post ) Edited May 9, 2004 by Penny Master Quote
Aethelred Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 While trying hard not to step into the pile that Chris and Joanne have made on the floor, I would like to note that US and British coins are NOT graded the same. If you live in the US, EF can be a far different thing than it is in the UK.I think I got a little on my shoe! Quote
Sylvester Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Chris' bark is worse than his bite, it's just Oli you have to watch out for... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Oli's ok really, he just gets a bit cagy from time to time. Quote
