  1. The initials under the bust tell me that it is definitely modern, Donald R Golder did that one in probably about 1999 I believe, re modelled for a special African coin to commemorate 100 years of the British monarchy, that never was. Don't touch it with a barge pole, and the seller is either a fool, or lying. Isn't it potentially dangerous with all these patterns around, when they fall into foolish hands....And it already has a bid. Knowledge is power.

    'Todays Top Ten Posters'

    No, I haven't been pruning any posts. I don't know why it would lie to you like that, these things are often just temporary glitches, is it still doing it?

    Is he still alive? I saw him on German MTV in an interview recently, didn't know he had his own show? What kind of show is it?

    All looks American to me, and I wonder what position UKGeezer has in the company? UK marketing department perhaps!

    1988 proof sovereign

    No, in 1988 it was definately copper I think, I'm talking very recently they changed to silver, 1993 onwards or something.

    Nope, worse than that, I was very rude in an email to her, and haven't heard anything since Erm, she's either ill, my email doesn't work, or she's not talking to me....I hope she's ill (in the nicest possible way)

    Fake!

    Well I detected a little irony there, did you, fellow forumees? Talking of fellows, where are all the ladies around here (apart from Eliza of course) She's the only one. When I saw Penny Master I got excited, but realise now Penny Master is male (Sorry Penny Master), or of course she would be 'Penny Mistress', surely.

    1988 proof sovereign

    I'm damn sure it's gold/silver these days. Refer to the Britannia's on p484 of Spink 2004.

    New blood!

    It's here: http://www.predecimal.com/newsletter/numbe...ixpence1674.jpg And look out for those indentation in one of the shields, it also has a very slight kink on the edge. Apart from that it's very pretty. it was up for £130 in the newsletter, but I'd take £100 for it.

    Well you're bloody right I use the most expressive language, so would you, if you had to keep an eye on you rabble all day long. You're enough to make a saint swear....As my Mum always used to say (and probably still does).

    Great, do you need a pic again?
  25. Great, but i bet your coins will be green in 5 years! I had a WHSmith album, when I was a nipper, thought it was great until the coins started sweating, going funny colours, and in the worse case scenario getting bronze disease. If you want you're pipes fixed, ask a plumber. If you want to buy a book, an inkjet cartridge, and an ice lolly, ask WHSmith. If you want a coin album from a quality manufacturer contaning inert pages, ask me
