I can vouch for footandankle, he's as honest as the day is long, and no doubt wants to experiment. He's definitely a collector, not a dealer.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8314494840&rd=1 Look at this, what a bargain for a selection of coins from when people spoke Latin!!

They're not cheap these days, I think I remember getting £150 for a 1st edition.

Don't forget the peck numbers for most copper coins are in CCGB2005....I don't have a spare Peck though, I'm afraid.

We used to go into town every lunch time from about the age of 13 onwards. We really were not supposed to, but there were ample gaps in the fences to allow us to sneak in and out un-noticed. Ah, those were the days. Jumpers for goalposts.

Why do they have to make every subject so moral, why can't history just be about facts....This happened at this time, something else at this time. I think that kind of 'lets try to make you kids well rounded moral individuals' by telling you about all the very bad people and situations in the past really got on my @*@$ at school! They should have a separate subject to discuss the changing roll of women in the 20th c, and why people have wars etc etc. Social sciences or whatever, even philosophy. Geography was just as bad too, I wanted to know where all the countries were, and what their capitals were called, why mountains are where they are and how rivers form etc....In Geography we visited Peckham and then Biggin Hill to write down peoples number plate years to help us come to the 'surprise' conclusion that the people seemed better off in semi rural Biggin Hill than they were in suburban shit hole Peckham (no offence all you Peckham forumees)! I had actually realised long ago by myself that Del trotter lived in a poorer area than Winston Churchill! Teach the kids the names, dates and order of all the British kings and Queens from Celtic to now, teach them the capitals of all the world countries, don't bore then to sleep with all that moral social science poo.

The stags had reliability problems, you should be fine with an auto 2000. Perhaps hairdressers do own a lot of MGF's, but that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I drive it on German roads knowing that it is 100% British, and there are very few people (mainly due to lack of choice!) that can even do that in the UK!

There is a chemical that will dissolve copper but won't touch steel, so I suspect thats what's happened. It could I suppose also be an error coin struck without being covered in copper....But there's no way that could be proven.

I exchanged old 5p's and 10p's for new ones the other year. They'll also take predecimal 'Silver' coins but only by special arrangement, at certain branches and if you have a large amount (like £100 worth).

I was chemically stripping the copper from steel pennies back in the mid 90's while at college!

Very well done Syl, that's blindin'. My friends mum is a head at a primary school in Blackheath, in fact she was also my teacher when I was 10. Her daughter (the lovely Ruth) is also training to be a teacher, so if you fancy doing something down there I could certainly put in a good word.

Do you know for sure that the picture is AT? Just because the seller is selling AT making stuff doesn't mean he used an AT coin in the picture.

For those of you that aren't subscribed, newletter No.11 is here: http://www.predecimal.com/newsletter/number11.htm Be quick, over £250 worth already sold, and I'm taking them to this saturdays London coin fair.

Register please Steve, tell us about who you really are etc instead of just copied sales blurb, and I'll consider putting the link back to your website. Please also consider buying a proper domain name and webspace as 'tripod' ad laden space looks very ameteur in my opinion, and would probably mean a very low visitor conversion rate. Please do email me if you would like to place a more formal ad on this forum.

Actually, I was planning to 'revitalise' that one in todays newsletter. There is a little bit of fluff that got caught under the plastic when it was made, and it's caused a tone spot on the rev. I've mentioned that in the newsletter. If you still want it Kuhli, I'll send it to you.

The 1806 one would never have been worth very much even before polishing. The 1742 would have probably been worth about £10, and now it's probably about £2. If they were badly corroded with green verdigris before you polished them, then they were not worth much to start with either.

What is it?

Yes, those have been harshly polished haven't they. What a pity. Please tell us you didn't polish them yourself RUUUD?

There are none 'missing' it's the 3 coin set, and no, there is no £5.

You can have a 3 coin set for £580

If I buy and sell that 1989 Gold set I'll let you have a virtual Predecimal.com voucher!

What Sylvester was trying to say, is that all denominations had VICTORIA DG BRITT REG FD written on them, so it's imposible for us to even begin to tell what it is!

Can't you post yet Dave, have your not received a confirmation email? Regarding your little facsimile, and being brutally honest, you'll find that marketed correctly, you can sell almost anything to the general public! I don't really feel that a little silver replica with a slight diference will exactly sell like hot cakes to collectors though. Search the web for Moneyer Dave Greenhalgh, he makes silver modern hammered coins (the old fashioned way), perhaps you could ask him how many he sells.

First you need to register an account. Then there are two ways of posting pictures: 1) Attach to the message - this uses up lots of bandwidth. 2) Use a hosting service like photobucket.com. Actually, I've got another deal on hosting now, so it's £200 per year and that includes up to 5gb per month bandwidth, so feel free to use the forum for a few more images from now on.

I sit possible the seller bought those coins and is now selling them?
