Master Jmd Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 And another one ...page 87, The Tenpence (continued): on previous page it is Ten Pence (a space is required between Ten and Pence Quote
Unknown Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 When I read through, I don't even notice the faults... the info is what is important to me... but that may have something to do with English not been my first language...I didn't even know there was a doble tt version of the book. Mine has only 1 t in Britain on the cover, and anywhere else I checked after reading this posts. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 29, 2004 Author Posted December 29, 2004 Look on the Spine Juan, they're all 'Double T' variety! Quote
Unknown Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I see what you mean!Yes there it is the double T! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 29, 2004 Author Posted December 29, 2004 Alright, I know, I know! Don't bloody rub it in! Quote
Unknown Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I am not rubbing it in... it's just funny.Don't worry, as soon as the content is good, I don't mind. If you ever make a re-run of the books with a single t, let us know! Quote
Master Jmd Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 If you ever make a re-run of the books with a single t, let us know! I believe that that has already happened...has it not? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 No, not yet, I have a little over 2000 of the TT left. Quote
mint_mark Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Finally seen the book in WH Smith Southampton... didn't buy it though because I've ordered one direct! It's bigger than I thought Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 Yes, there should be at least 1 in every WH Smith branch, I've had a few reports of the book being seen in various branches. Hopefully they are selling too. Quote
Geordie582 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 At least the Whitehaven branch of Smiths has replaced the one I bought!! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 Good stuff. I heard from someone that bought a copy, saw the phone number and called me wanting a copy of the banknote book.So that's a confirmed 2 sold in WHS Branches! I expect there have been more across the country. Quote
Master Jmd Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 (edited) Oh dear, another error...tut tut tut...Page 24, 1882H 2/1 penny £60 in EF, £150 in UNC and £70 in BU... Edited January 31, 2005 by Master Jmd Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 ooops.Whoever wrote that error laden book should be, erm, regretful that there was no time to have it properly proof read! Quote
Master Jmd Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Tip:The book has the bright 1918 farthing above the dark 1918 farthing, it would be better the other way round because otherwise it goes:1917 Dark1918 Bright1918 Dark1919 Bright Quote
Master Jmd Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Also, error:Page 13, 1951 farthing BU price is higher than 1951 proof BU price. Quote
Geordie582 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 At least, Chris, it goes to show we all READ the book and not just put it on the shelf as reference!! Quote
Geordie582 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I've just received the ' Roman Base Metal Coins'. Ta! An excellent read. I've already started to re catalogue some of my later worn coins. Noticed the decimal scale in the back. I'm surprised it is still accurate! Handy too. Any though ts on Byzantine to follow up? Quote
Master Jmd Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Another error (CCGB2005) (don't know if this has been spotted yet):Page 55 - 1961 Esc.798R says "Struck on pilished blank".Should be "polished" Quote
Geordie582 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Get away! I'd never have thought of that!!! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Have you sold any CC2005 books to Ottakers Chris only I saw one on the shelf whilst looking for Alan Sugars book? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 12, 2005 Author Posted March 12, 2005 Yes, they get them from the same people that Amazon.co.uk get them from. They are a stock item and should be in every Ottakars branch.I was quite pleased with that. I managed to get the email address of a lovely helpful lady at Ottakars, who was, with slight persuasion, able to get the man responsible to make them a stock item! Quote
Coppers Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Don't even think about coming in here, asking questions, getting answers, and then putting your coins on eBay with a pasted version of what was said about your item in this forum! If you want to sell your coins, let me know, I really pay very fair prices and I'm not that fussy. ;-)How often has this happened, Chris? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 12, 2005 Author Posted March 12, 2005 I seem to remember about 3 times when I've noticed it, so there may well have been more. I don't look on ebay for coins that much.These days, everyone can sell anything directly can't they, and in a way that's a pity for all specialist trades because it makes it a little more difficult for them to acquire odd little items. Thankfully people generally can't be bothered to catalogue and identify whole collections for ebay, and there are some that don't bother, so the future is still rosy for coin dealers!I mean 50 year ago if you wanted a shirt, you'd go to a tailor. Now you can get one on ebay....Come to think of it, you can get one in a Supermarket or even a petrol station too! In fact everywhere you go you get bombarded with things you didn't really go there for!I digress. Quote
