I was just re-reading this old post, and I still can’t get my head around the scale of these numbers!

I really need to buy a copy of this. Do you remember the postage to the US so I can budget it in? 

Many thanks TG I’ll message him. ☺️ I’ve been trying to glean a bit more information from the SCBI 39 about the closure date of the Newcastle mint, and of the date signatures of class 10, to see if I can work out how long the Newcastle mint operated into that class. The date of the mint closure appears to be September 1302 but, depending on who you listen to, the commencement of Class 10 is either September that same year (Fox brothers), or nearly 18 months earlier if you go with North? The Fox brothers’ date would suggest a minuscule mintage of class 10 coins under Newcastle, whereas North’s dates would allow a production window of 18 months. Given the number of Newcastle Class 10 coins available, it makes me wonder who’s got the commencement of the class right? I’d love to acquire every mint in every class someday!  I’m currently this far down the rabbit hole, so fingers crossed:   Class VI Bury St Edmunds (#1)   Class VI Bury St Edmunds (#2)   1c London   1d London  1d London (1 x reversed N on reverse) 2a London 2b Canterbury 3b London 3c Canterbury  3e Newcastle 3e York 3g London 3g Lincoln 3g Durham 3g Bristol  (1) 3g Bristol  (2) 4c Canterbury eBay 4c London   4d London  6a1 London  7a London 8a London   8c London  9b1 Durham  9b1 Exeter  9b1 London  9b1 Newcastle   9b2 York (Royal)   10ab London  10ab Newcastle   10cf1 London   10cf2 Durham 10cf2a London   10cf3 London 10cf5 London 12a Canterbury   12a Canterbury  12a Canterbury 12a London  14 Canterbury   14 Bury St Edmunds  15c Bury St Edmunds eBay 

I think even a couple of the brass threepences came out very washed out, almost greyscale like, but everything was colour and the content is the same for this new colour p/b version.

Maybe it was just me, but many of the images did seem almost identical. I didn't complain, but then  you made the remark about a lack of responses, so I just theorised about why that might be? Good luck anyway
