Exbrit Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Hello Chris, just purchased your ePub book, but cannot open it with Safari or through the GDS iPad app. I sent you a PM with my order information. Please email it to me.Thanks Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Exbrit is now 'fixed' with a manual email containing the epub file. Quote
Coinery Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Got mine, but the 1840 two-prong might need updating already! What a price for a raggy coin that barely makes VF overall! £130 Quote
Coinery Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Ps the forum still isn't displaying correctly on safari, and I don't have edit buttons! Quote
Peter Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Got mine, but the 1840 two-prong might need updating already! What a price for a raggy coin that barely makes VF overall! £130The coin wasn't bad but the obverse put me off.However it is rare coin and if you want one there is a waiting list.Cheap to what the penny boys pay for absolute skank coins.

Peter Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Chris1953 proof set £900 Methinks a decimal . has been missed. Quote
Peckris Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Chris1953 proof set £900 Methinks a decimal . has been missed.You mean ... the £700 I just paid for one ISN'T a bargain after all? Quote

You mean ... the £700 I just paid for one ISN'T a bargain after all? If it's the one with the toothed border penny, it's a steal! :) Edited January 15, 2014 by Accumulator Quote

If it's the one with the toothed border penny, it's a steal! :)Hahaha - yes, that's on my wish list, along with a 1954 penny, 1920 2nd obverse, and maybe a 1933 (though they are common compared with those others ) Quote
VickySilver Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Uhh, I think there may only be one 1933 that would even be remotely available so would have to rate it similarly to the 1954 penny. Quote
Garrett Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 This is a great book !Been using it (along with the grading book which also seems excellent) to value a lot of 30 farthings I scored on eBay.But is the value for the 1925 farthing a misprint given the mintage compared to others of the 20's?The good news for me is the farthings were poorly photographed and looks like I got a bargain. Cheers Garrett Quote

I've always considered that - along with the 1919 - as relatively common, so £20/£30 in Unc seems a tad over-optimistic : the £10/£15 of the other dates seems more like it? Quote
Peter Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I think Matt.Trev 50 years a collector has been helping Chris. Quote
Gary Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Had forgotten I had ordered one until I found it in the post yesterday! Sorry Chris but I think I have found another bugger. Will PM you. Quote
RLC35 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hey Chris, You forgot to price the 1845, 46 and 49 by the market! I would love to buy some for the prices shown! LOL! Just got my book (USA) yesterday. Quote
Peter Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 We as a forum can help Chris.Spink do much worse...... Quote
Garrett Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I wouldn't worry too much.You'd expect a few 'buggers' here and there in a book like that.A collector would be mad to spend a fortune on a coin based on information from a single source. It's a good book, I like it. Seems easier to navigate than Spink, the prices on the couple of coins I've looked at so far seem more realistic, and I had a third point but I've forgotten (oh hang on I remember - had a farthing variety that Spink didn't list).cheers Garrett.

Chris Perkins Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 All excellent information to help me iron out the buggers for next time! Quote
RLC35 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 All excellent information to help me iron out the buggers for next time!BTW Chris, I was referring to pennies, with the 1845, 46, and 49 designations! I like the look of the new book. It is the best reference to carry with you at a show, etc. Quote
