Final Spam Solution
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Forum technical help and support
Not possible (as far as I can tell). To post anywhere you have to be a member, and to be a member you have to have been confirmed as a real person by me. The only way anyone could spam is if a real person joined and then started spamming. The vast majority of spammers are automated bots that search the internet spreading their filth wherever they can, and this measure will keep them out. -
1990 5p varieties?
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'm not sure that there is a 1990 sharp edge coin. The later ones seem to have sharp edges, but I think perhaps all 1990 have rounded edges. -

Same for me, the spammers seemed to post every few minutes. It was beyond a joke. -
1990 5p varieties?
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What planet do you live on Nik a Tron? You're quite young and naive aren't you. You can't exchange coins in most Bureau de Change places. They just take notes, they don't want to keep tons of world coins in stock. I can safely say that there are no quantities of 5p's within about a 500 mile radius of my house! -
GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
If it was once coloured silver it could have been mistaked for a 6d. I have base metal GIII coins, including some very yellow ones that have remains of a silver colour in protected areas. -

Yes I could, if I were in the UK! -

Are you able to make pictures? -
collecting
Chris Perkins replied to nik a tron's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Is that according to your grading of the coins? Or is that what they cost you? I suspect the former. -
GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It would have been silvered originally. I expect it has brass in it in some proportion! -
Attached to this post is the current back cover text for the forthcoming Check Your Change. Before I finalise it, could someone, or more than one person read it through to check for spelling, puntuation etc problems? Thanks,

You'll continue to be brushed aside until you're as old as Geoff and have a respectable beard like his! That's just a fact of life.

Why'd you have to come in with your wisdom about 5 mins after I'd emailed the designer with what we both thought were final changes! I've emailed him again with that last thing. (thanks)

GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Who knows what strange alloys the forgers used back then. Brass with lead, or who knows. But, the coin looks of inferior quality and it's too light. If it was gold and even heavily worn gold and thinner it would have to be over 1.7g in weight. I bet that it turns out not to be gold, and as mentioned above it's most probably a forged 6d made of god knows what. Do let us know. -
London Coin auction
Chris Perkins replied to ken46's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Have they? What, from Dartford? Dartford is about the centre of the universe right on the M25. Who on earth wants to go to Bracknell!! -
GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Then you need to get it tested (electronically or chemically) to find out if it really is gold and how pure it is. -
Does anyone have one? They don't send me a free copy anymore and I'd like to see the info in this months issue about the 1992 10p varieties.

GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No it isn't! The design is wrong and so is the weight. I admire your eagerness nik a tron, but until you actually have a rough idea about what you're talking about, perhaps you better listen(read) more and ask questions instead of making statements. -
GOLD SIXPENCE?
Chris Perkins replied to KenC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
If it was gold it'd be heavier. I suspect it's a sixpence that someone has made to look like gold in order to pass it off as a half sovereign. Or, some kind of forged sixpence. -
Coin News this month.
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's in the editorial or perhaps readers letter, something like that. It's a piece about the 1992 10p varieties. -

I used to get a free one, but then they realised I wasn't advertising anymore (mainly because they wouldn't let me mention my books) and they stopped it. -
1798 guinea ?
Chris Perkins replied to Peter's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You do get coins in that good condition that are that old! You can get 2000+ year old coins that look like new and are genuine. They're rare of course, and when something rare is priced too good to be true then you should be wary. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it doesn't have to always be a duck! -
Some new error coins.
Chris Perkins replied to Hussulo's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've got one of those 50p blank planchets, but mine has a raised rim like the finished coin. How much did you pay for yours? -
The New Check Your Change 2007
Chris Perkins replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
What you saw above was not finished. The book will include 2006 coins, but not 2007. And I hope it will be an annual publication. -
No of course not. You cannot put an exact value on a slabbed coin until it's actually sold for x amount. Banks want cash money. I'd probably take slabbed coins for a debt!
-
Then you should have my book! It's a price guide, but does include lots of other data. Collectors' Coins GB 2007 is what it's called. Available from predecimal.com, Amazon.co.uk and a few other places.
