    What really annoys me is when people use pictures with acres of space around the coin. I get emails like this, that are huge in size because the coin is a small dot in the middle of a vast desert of nothing! Is it really too difficult to use MS Paint or any simple graphics package to trim around the coin!

    It's not a proof, I'll tell you that right away! The green bits really don't help. You'd have trouble persuading a coin collector to buy your coin, as long as others are out there without green bits...Especially as 1901 is not that expensive. For example, this halfpenny from the same year is currently priced at £18.00:

    Thanks for the input Gary. Liberty Street will soon be using Rotographic prices, and there was talk about having the Peck/Freeman numbers included too, in the next version. So, the other one is a bit inflexible, fair enough. I've not tried it personally.

    The Spanish are at it too are they! Both subjects were of course very Spanish.

    krasnaya. you're going to go blind if you're not to careful!

    Yeah, like you'd push her out of bed for making biscuit crumbs!

    Is that snow or sand she's sitting on?

    It could also be a 1901 Maundy 1d, which would of course by default be very prooflike (and small and silver, not bronze).

    I don't have cyrillic installed, so that just looked like rubbish to me. I keep getting spam emails in Russian you know! Which is pointless of course. krasnaya, do you think they'd stop if they knew I can't understand a word, or even see most of the letters properly?

    I'm sure those Siberian girls could do with a little warming up at this time of year (in fact, probably all year round up there!) but this is neither the time nor the place. Siberian girls should contact me, Peter or Slyvester directly!

    Here's the image emailed to me after I resized them and played around a bit:

    Email the picture to me and I'll post it: cp@predecimal.com

    Someone has brought this to my attention: http://www.collectionexplorer.com/coins/download.htm Apparently, so far so good. There's a free trial, so perhaps some of you could give it a go and post feedback in here. It's American, so I don't know how suitable it is for Brits, but it does seem quite flexible.

    I got so fed up with deleting bloody spam adverts for porn, online gaming, dodgy medications, and today, Siberian girls of all things, that I have just disabled the ability for guests to start new topics in the 'Beginners Area' (as that was the area nearly always affected). Members are not affected at all, nor are any other areas....So lets see how it goes like this.

    Not a bad beaded border penny. I'll leave you to the penny experts.

    Please keep the topic in this area. I removed the other post because the picture didn't work. The image needs to be a few hundred kb at the most and preferably jpg format. You need to add it with the 'File Attachments' area, below the text of when you make a new post.

    It's impossible to say with real accuracy because the mega rarities are not often sold, and when they are sold they usually get auctioned and the prices go up each time. To date, the most expensive British penny ever was the gold Anglo-Saxon Coenwulf penny found a year or 2 ago. That went for £240,000 the first time, and know I think the asking price is more like £300,000. As for modern pennies, the 1933 might raise more than a 1937 Edward VIII.
  18. Chris Perkins
    Certainly an interesting reverse.

    William does, but he's not been in for a while.

    (or even the 80's with an 01 London prefix before they changed to 081/071)

    Yes, the IP is Romanian. I didn't mean to scare you off writing in English for ever!

    What? Spam is one thing, nonsense is quite another! If you mean the search facility on the forum, it should work....Or you could also try using google and putting 'site: www.predecimal.com' after the text string.

    The next book will be out about October. There won't be room to illustrate all the varieties, but to have a couple would certainly be interesting.
  24. Chris Perkins
    I may be interested too, especially if he'll grant me permission to use the odd image in the next book (if they are good enough quality, and with credit given of course).

    Things like 'Purple Rhino' and the like you mean?
