Half Penny Jon Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 When will the next Spink be out then..........no chris I am not converting, I just need one because everyone else will have one and will use it as their first price fuide reference. Quote

Emperor Oli Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Can somebody straighten a few questions out? I've been allocated farthings and fractions with JMD but which prices do I collect? On Mr Cooke's site, he only displays sold prices for coins with pictures (when price > £20) and farthings rarely go above that, so I can't find out what they sold for. Also, how should I go aboutn collecting eBay prices? Should I collect them in the last 24hrs of an auction or the last 30mins?Thanks in advance Quote
Sylvester Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Chris i still owe you the Geo III-W4 and Eliz II sixpences, not to mention the circulation Britannia groats... plus the front cover!Just to let you know i haven't forgotten, is there a deadline that you really need all this for?I'll try and finish the sixpences off in the next few days, then get the groats slowly done. The front cover is done i've just got to figure out a way of sending it to you! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 I have the Marles prices, which I will also factor in (probably). The prices will not be changed until I finish the actual book, and I'm up to Edward Florins in text, and The cartwheel 2d in pictures and text. So it's going to take me another few weeks to get finished without the prices (although I'm getting hard into it lately, the Oct publishing date is getting closer and closer)So, do it as soon as you can, but obviously don't get an ulser.

Sylvester Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I have the Marles prices, which I will also factor in (probably). Ah don't do that with the prices i've supplied cos mine already have Marles taken into account cos that's how i did it! Uless you think Coincraft needs cancelling out further? Quote

CoinCraft, and i averaged them out based on my own judgement. Simple!But i bet you don't have a CoinCraft do you? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) Too right! I'm going to London soon and I'm going to pop in to Coincraft to buy a copy, and see what they have on offer - if anything.Edit: D'ya reckon it would be ok if I used CC2004 and Spink's and averaged??

Master Jmd Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Edit: D'ya reckon it would be ok if I used CC2004 and Spink's and averaged?? hmm...i wouldn't trust spink's too much, they seem to overprice many coins... Quote

I thought CC's chronically underpriced many coins...I thought Spinks weren't too far off, we'll they aren't in my area of experience infact they are just underpricing some issues.I guess with the more modern coins though, i think all the catalogues are over pricing, £1 for a UNC 1967 halfpenny, in my experience you can get about 7 or 8 for £1.

Emperor Oli Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I think we need Chris' final say on this! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 Oli,If you do an advanced search on ebay you can choose to see the items that have sold, so that will reveal probably new useful farthing prices daily. Sorry I missed your question. I missed a lot when I was in the UK.I want to try to not make this book an average of a high book and a low book unless that's absolutley neccessary, and thought to be accurate. I know it won't be possible with everything, but it would be good if the prices are what people are paying.I'll make a note this weekend to offer the rotographic database as a download, so you can all see what's already there.

Emperor Oli Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up - I'll try it now! Quote
