Is this too harsh, will I get sued?
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
Mr Marles said that he prefered to put the issue prices of the modern proof sets, instead of the realistic and far lower market values, just to keep the Mint happy. I'm going to put the real market values of the modern proof sets, because I don't like the way they take advantage of their monopoly like position and take advantage of young and novice collectors who actually think they're getting value for money. It's what all coin dealers think, but none seem to put it into writing. -

Yes, i knew you were joking, so was I. -

Got the cart before the horse...
Chris Perkins replied to Jennings's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It will be this month, I'm up to the decimals! Just have to finish the price update and it'll be done. It will include lots of pictures, which will be high resolution colour images in the PDF version. You can see a couple of sample pages on www.rotographic.co.uk -

Chris Perkins replied to Jennings's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You're right, there isn't a very up to date one. Although right at this moment I'm working on a PDF which will be published as a printed book, but may also be offered as a PDF download. It won't be free though! -
Next one is on Guy Fawkes afternoon (November 5th). Do you like the headline on the website... 'Gunpowder, treason and (radio) slot' ? I thought that was pure genius! And, i'll be doing the programme with some old Guy, who just happens to be my Dad! He knows a thing or two about medals and the listeners will be invited to phone in on medals and coins.

It's a Jeton, circa 16th Century, made of Bronze and used as a counting piece. (in the pre abacus days!) I'm afraid that in that condition it will be of little value.

Are you sure it's gold? Doesn't look very gold from the colour. What's the other side got on it?

is this a coin mould? any info would be great!
Chris Perkins replied to a topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
Oh I see, yes forgers use moulds to make inferior quality cast coins, I suppose that may well be what it is. You'll have to let us know in here what the museum say. I hope it doesn't turn out to be some part of a plumbers kit or something modern! -
How do you store your coins?
Chris Perkins replied to mint_mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That may be convenient, and it's certainly very Blue Peter, but I recon it'll cause damage within a few years, especially with the copper/bronze. Good idea though. If they are high grade valuable coins and you don't want to throw money down the pan you should consider alternatives. -

Chris Perkins replied to a topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
The correct term would be a die. There isn't a lot of detail unfortunately. It could be a die, but I'm not sure. Exactly where was it found? There are records of where old mints were. -
Well done JMD, I'm pleased you commited the effort! I can't be bothered to add to that, apart from to tell reelbigchris that it's bronze and too worn to be collectable.

BBC 3CR Coin Phone in.
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
if you can get it in Bexley Kent, I'm damn sure you can get it in Essex HPJ. On AM, around 600. -
BBC 3CR Coin Phone in.
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have one of the programmes on CD, but it's massive even at bad quality. It's nothing very advanced, usually the callers have rubbish. Sometimes there's the odd interesting thing. -
Not a coin but still nice
Chris Perkins replied to smudge's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I think you'll have to post a picture of that Smudge. Incidentally, the last Cat I had as a child was called Smudge, due to its black 'smudge' on its white nose. It only died recently after falling alsleep at the wheel (or more accurately, under the wheel of a stationary car before it set off) -

Does the occasion ever arise to wear it? -
I got caught on a speed camera!
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Hang on! Your Granddad breaks the speed limit!!? I don't know any Granddads that go over 35MPH, even on Motorways! -

Yes, please do check he's still alive Geoff. -
George III 1816 Half Crown
Chris Perkins replied to colliewalker1's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I wouldn't call that VF, perhaps GF or NVF. -
George V 1935 Silver Crown
Chris Perkins replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The .925 version is a proof striking, will have a different tone, and most importantly it will have raised edge lettering. The incuse lettering .500 versions are very common. -

They don't have uniforms at all in Germany, which looks really strange to me, especially the girls. At least when they're in school uniform you know you shouldn't really be looking...Here, there are no age clues! -

Chris Perkins replied to Sylvester's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
It's when the older boys make your tie so tight that the knot is peanut sized! -
Yes, those are toys. They may not be completely worthless, but you may have trouble finding enough interest in them to be able to sell them for more than pennies. I loged out, then tried to register, it was fine. Could it be your cookie settings?

You don't get any homework when you start secondary school, it's just peanuting and bogwashes until you settled it isn't it? -
