The language looks Thai, or Burmese (somewhere around there). I don't think it's Indian. I'm sure someone with a Krause to hand will be along soon.

What about this one then?
Chris Perkins replied to Master Jmd's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Looks like a real one to me. You'll find that sometimes even really very old coins are very cheap Juan. By the way Juan, did you mean to be 'Unknown'? -
Latest ammended pages.
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
Thanks, I'll change that, but I've already sent a link to the proofreader, so I expect he'll spot it too! I have a version called draft2.dpf in the same location with updated prices. I have now incorporated all of the prices from you Custard, and the Rotographic database, as well as Williams Florins and Geoffs Half Crowns (Geoff if you're reading this I haven't forgotted about the 1908!) I just need to change a few more prices (Wybritt, Sylvester and Coppers) and we're away. -
How do you store your coins?
Chris Perkins replied to mint_mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thankyou Juan! -
Influenced by you lot, this is probably what the cover will look like:
-
But that would mean more pages, more cost, which may move it up to a similar price to the Coin Yearbook. It's an idea that cannot be ruled out though.

By jove, i think you're right, I'll mention it.

Yes, in fact I still have that one sitting beside me. I'll be delivering it personally (with some other stuff) in Early Nov.

Blimey I didn't do it! I paid someone to do it: http://www.samwall.com

1910 Half Crown Edward V11.'Good VF'
Chris Perkins replied to colliewalker1's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's ok I suppose, the tone isn't that pretty. I probably wouldn't go so high as GVF, maybe NVF/AVF. Edward VII Halfcrowns in my opinion are not difficult for 1910 or 1902. -
THAT penny

No problem Coppers, I've removed the HTTP:// bit to make it non clickable. And that was the one I was thinking of. -
THAT penny
Chris Perkins replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think Oli meant that the coins are slabbed by American companies (ie PCGS etc etc), which if your thinking of the same website that I have recently noticed then yes they are. I don't know of any British slabbing companies (I've heard of US, Canadian and Aussie). You can mention the website by all means, but as not to improve their search engine rankings, don't make the URL clickable! (wicked aren't I). If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I'm actually going to be buying a few of their coins for an investor customer soon. He may as well keep them slabbed, as even if they do look naff, it does help sell them to some people if the coins are 'Guaranteed'. Unfortunately for high grade expensive coins that may well be an increasing thing on the British coin scene. Perhaps the days of true collectors keeping hugely valuable collections in delightful wooden cabinets are waining. -

£50 if it's FDC then! -

Went to a Museum did it? I read the other 7 were all in museums. -

Chris Perkins replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Steady on old chap, it probably won't be worth much more than £50 even if it truly is in mint condition. I hate getting peoples hopes up. -

Chris Perkins replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
With respect Julia, I hear words similar to that quite often from novice coin collectors and inquizitive people, and most of the time they are wrong and simply don't have the experience with that particular coin to be able to detect wear on it. Are you able to scan it, register here and then post a picture? -
Is this too harsh, will I get sued?
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
Yes, you're both right, I'll change it. I just couldn't resist denouncing the bloody things and got carried away, but your right, I should remain neutral and just say it like it is! -
I'm right up to the decimal section of CCGB2005 now, so not long to go. As a little intro to my decimal section I have started with the following text: So, is that too harsh on the Old Royal Mint, anything there you think I could be sued over?? Despite that fact it's true. (and if they did sue me, in 50 years they may issue a 50th Anniversary of suing Chris Perkins coin!!)

It's most likely to be worth it's gold bullion value (£26) unless it's in perfect as new condition. -
Predecimal.com and Onlinecoins join forces!
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Free for all
Thanks all. Yes this year certainly has had a lot in it. -
There is no doubt that onlinecoins.co.uk is one of the most popular coin websites, the proprietors idea of getting as many dealers together in one place and earning a commission off each sale is not much short of revolutionary in numismatic terms. So when he approached me about reciprical links I had to think hard about it, because after all onlinecoins is a rare breed (a capable and professional looking competitor!). We agreed that if he promoted my accessories I'd link to onlinecoins from my Coins For Sale area and at the same time get listed on onlinecoins as a guest dealer. Hopefully the arrangement will be beneficial for us both, and hopefully there will be other opportunities to join forces in the future.

But he means Obverse because the head side is always obverse.
