Aussie Aaron Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Hay CHRIS, well done on the web site! How long have you been collecting coins? What else do you do besides PREDECIMAL. Quote
Aussie Aaron Posted August 25, 2004 Author Posted August 25, 2004 Also how much is a English Pound to the Aussie Dollar? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Aaron,This is all I do!With Rotographic.co.uk and the odd coin fair and I make the odd face to face sale. As a matter of fact, where I spend a lot of time in Germany there is an Australian chap who lives nearby. He's one of my best customers actually.Have a look on www.xe.com for exchange rates. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Why you little.I don't know where tomorrows bread and dripping will be coming from! When I get your latest cheque Jmd, I'll be able to buy some new socks and perhaps reat myself to a newspaper. Quote
Master Jmd Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Still an easy lifestyle...what would you prefer, shoveling coal all day or self-employed coin dealing?(my cheque is on its way ) Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 There are benefits with both vocations. Shoveling coal all day would probably be healthier (if you were able to not breath the dust all day), i'd finish and start work at fixed times and get the same amount of money every week.I never did much like the idea of physical graft though.

Emperor Oli Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I'd hardly call it an easy lifestyle. Chris puts in loads of time to improving the website, dealing with Rotographic, putting the book together in .pdf, replying to peoples' queries, valuing coins, selling coins, doing his radio slot and countless more things besides. I think Chris has a very hard and taxing lifestyle, but executes his tasks tremendously well. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Ah bless you Oli. I'm certainly kept busy. Quote
william Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Yes, I suppose you are extremely busy! Especially at the moment with Rotographic. And thats on top of all the usual queries, selling coins, buying coins, replying to things on the forum, updating the site. And during all that, he's got to fly to England every so often for his radio show. And he does it well too.Not very easy.... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Actually, next visit to the UK i'll be going by boat in a car because I have to pick lots of coins up. I try my best. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 What are you picking up Chris, a hoard?! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Mostly silver bullion, and lots of mainly modern (60's) stuff from various friends houses in mint sealed bags. To be honest, if got so much in friends houses I've forgetten what's there! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 At Mr Steve Quirk's house (Hello Steve, I know you'll never read this) I have a pile from floor to ceiling in his bedroom. He also has a brand new Triumph TR7 front spoiler in his shed, a set or 2nd hand twin Triumph carburetters and 5 alloy wheels!Richard has a few 1000 late bronze coins a box of copper, some silver and a couple of sovereins. Neils Mum has the Churchill crowns. (I'll try to avoid her!) Quote
