So anyway I did decide to order a new cabinet from Rob Davis. I ordered a single door cherry wood version with small trays. Rob actually delivered it in person today. I have to say I'm really pleased with it, and it immediately solves an increasing space problem. Somewhat irritatingly, I've misplaced a coin I bought recently - the 1913 F174. Christ knows where that's got to. Anyway, here are pictures:-

....I nearly did....

Tribbles might figure on a star trek inspired 50p

Teenagers will be glad to know that

Yet they seem to be "old fogeys" who claim to have been there at the time, but they seem to have very short memories for anything except urban myths! Mind you, they weren't numismatists so they had no special interest in the subject as we did.

I do like the thickness of the wooden frame. Quality.

Probably a lot of then weren't even born at the time, and are just spouting unthought out rubbish without ever checking the facts from the time. If they were old enough to have been there at the time, there's even less excuse for not remembering - for example - the 1973 oil price hike.

That actually says 1952 and the post hasn't been edited. Where did 1852 come from?

Can we afford not to ? Put your money into something before Corbyn gets it !!

Blaming inflation on it?

Sorry to bring coins into this discussion, but... Could this result in the first overdate for very many years?

I'm currently in a nostalgia thread on Facebook, where someone posted the introduction of decimal coins in February 1971. Guess what the predominant comments are, that are driving me up the wall trying to show the evidence to disprove?

I advise you NOT to buy more than one of my 'How I Did It' guides, you only need one and there is only one. You may already know this information in which case you should not buy it The price plus postage covers my expenses with a little bit left over This time next year, Rodders...

Always seeing obverse, still can't find reverse...

Not your fault - but what a url !!

Of which probably the best example is the 1817 GEOE shilling. There isn't a person on the planet who would replace the correct R with an E.

In reality it all depends on how hard a device has been punched, the deepest appearing as the digit on top, regardless of which one was entered first.

There were three possibilities from a simplistic viewpoint: 1) Remain and keep status quo 2) Leave (with no deal if necessary) for better or worse 3) Leave, in the believe that UK will be better off with new deals Parliament has voted against no deal. To be fair to to them, opinion polls indicate that the majority of population don't want no deal either. So realistically, "no deal" will probably now need to win a second referendum if it is going to happen. Category 2 Leavers (quite understandably won't like this one bit and feel cheated) but this look like the reality now. Not many believe UK will be better off with leaving with May's deal. Yes, one can say that she negotiated badly, was incompetent etc etc but this doesn't change the fact that EU is not going to give us a better deal now or in two years time. It is very possible that a percentage of Leave voters in category 3 don't want Brexit if it means May's deal. And if we were to give up Brexit, many of the Leavers will be understanding very upset and there will be political and social chaos for years to come. Hence the mess we are in. The government and parliament are in a no-win situation and this will drag on. Hence, however unpalatable a second referendum is in principle, it is a way out of this deadlock and give some "sort" of legitimacy to the final decision made.

It's coin collecting Jim, but not as we know it.....

It sure is Peck, I could imagine that’s how a coin would feel when imprisoned inside an NGC slab.💀

Thanks for the link Blakey - an enjoyable documentary

I recommend a good heavy strong safe. Personally I would not consider leaving my collection either at work or with a friend/neighbour due to potential insurance issues in the case of a fire or theft at their premises.
