Peter Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 I must say if I was going to buy a crown it would be from Chris or equally approved dealer. Trouble is I can snitch around and buy decent farthings for a pittance (and the occasional penny, half penny) my 1870 1d I recently bought has been on my sofa arm for a few days and moves me to a big smile £15.99 well spent...My 82 year old mum gets it.When I show her my coins I have bought with her Xmas/Birthday money she gets it completely from fine silver issue hammered to Bury pennies...keeps me happy.

PWA 1967 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Peter i can relate to that. I spent almost every day with my grandma for months untill she passed away a few months ago at 102. She was always interested in coins i had bought and used to enjoy showing them her . Although as she said ...pitty you didnt no (such a person)he worked at the bank and always used to keep the best Edited September 29, 2016 by PWA 1967 Quote
Peter Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 102 bloody hell.Black pudding from NW markets must be the secret.My Mum is sharper than a new pin...she still gives a clip around the ear when I deserve it. All I have to do is buy a Cromer Crab from the local market and she is like putty.Sorry to hear about your Grandma...she must of been a wonderful person. Mums ham sandwiches with mustard are addictive as my daughters will vouch for. Quote
