Well what a wonderful introduction (you'll go a long way!). It is indeed an 18th Century regional token (otherwise known as a Conder). If it's in average condition it's unlikely to be worth very much. I'm afraid I can't really help with the rarity level. Most of them are common and it should state around the edge in small lettering where it was payable/issued.
I must admit to being a bit of a Southerncentric, in that I have not yet bothered to travel outside of London to a coin fair Nothing against the Northen collectors (in fact most of this forum are Northerers I think, and probably more than 50% of my customers too, going by the addresses I send things too). I suppose I'm turned off my the extra fees for accomodation and the looong drive. Perhaps you could sing the praises.
Geordie, I have your email address for your order recently. Shall I reset your password and then tell you what it is? That way you should be able to log on anywhere (if you can remember them!)
I'll probably be stuck indoors in January. I cannot commit to much during Jan-March as the weather gets severe here and I cannot guarantee leaving the street, let alone get to an airport. We already have a good 3 inch snow covering here in the Erzgebirge region (where I am). It's about that time when the TR7 has to be put into hibernation.
Well I never, another blatant advertisement in MY forum! I don't stock Spinks, so please do feel free to get one from Andy, I can vouch for his honesty.
I would have thought the forum software might have a problem if you wanted both computers to keep you logged on (because each would have a different IP address). There should be no problem for you to log on on the laptop using your user name and password. Are you sure you know what your password is? You should be able to get the laptop to 'remember' it, if it's set up that way. If all goes pear shaped I can give your user ID a new password and then email it to you. I am unable to read what your current password is.
I think he's confusing demonitisation with coins simply not being made in certain years. And from the young portrait, that's 1736 unless I'm very much mistaken. The '3' often looks like a '5'.
That isn't actually supposed to work, but these are the new titles coming soon: British and Empire campaign medals of the 20th Century Collectors Roman Coins part 2 (silver) New Version of Roman Coins Part 1 (I'm more than half way through) A so far un titled colaboration between Syl and myself on early milled And who knows what else, there are so many ideas that have been put to me.
Yes, I got that message too! It's pushing things a bit isn't it. It isn't set in stone the the UK will all of a sudden adopt the US system. That message is aimed at people who have too much money than they know what to do with and no knowlwdge in coins, and I hate to say it, but It'll probably be very successful!
The Romans were pretty quick to put AD1 on that coin weren't they, considering the Romans weren't main stream Christian until Constantine the Great. And what a wonderful picture. The lister is either a bloody idiot or a child.
You have an Irish Penny, and just like the British 1967 version it's the most common Irish penny ever. Probably worth about 20p if it's in mint condition.
They're convenient, but I wouldn't trust them for nice coins. I've taken bronze coins out of them that have been spotty on the side that touches the paper/card. I don't suppose they even thought much about coin preservation and the chemicals in the card in the 60's. (thanks for your custom!)
My Nan always used to try her very best to do the keep fit every morning with Lizzie. That was TVAM wasn't it? I remember when the Big Breakfast was launched. It was actually very good at first with Chris Evans, Gabby Roslin and Paula Yates. It made such a nice change to have something aimed more at the young, rather than the very serious news type programmes.
Yes, I'll need to find all your addresses now. So far HPJ, Sylvester, Geoff, Wybrit, DAS and Edward are sorted. If you know any of the others (or are any of the others), please ask them to email an address. cp@predecimal.com
