    @Rob does have a point. I narrowed my subject down to Victoria and coins I like, and coins I buy and coins in presentation packs and sets which I also buy, plus some others and also odd job-lots. Plus a few bank notes. I try my best not to get involved in anything not directly British.

    I wouldn't bank on modern commemoratives giving you any wealth either now or in future. Many (as advertised on TV) are a complete waste of cash, but the general rule is, if you enjoy them and you're happy with what you paid, then that's ok.

    Welcome to the forum As you've already purchased some commemoratives, I'd say that you ualready found the starting point. I can personally reccommend reading through some of the posts here on the coins you like the look of to give you more info. The search box is your friend.

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    That's why this is a "Take 2" . I originally thought I saw it, and checked somewhere else and thought I was bonkers, in the end I canned the first thread http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/12448-look-over-there/

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    £3 Lol. No, thats why I'd be waiting for a sell for a quid maximum. That way I can set it up for a BIN without fear of the fees.

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    Ah, but you have your finger on the pulse as it were, so you'd have a much better feeling for this market than I would going by fleabay or old LC sales etc. I guess I'll list it on fleabay soon (when I get a sell for £1 max email), but until then I'm open to offers.

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    Awesome thanks Pete.

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    Out of interest, what's it worth? I don't think I want to get into penny varieties yet, so it may well fund some more Vickies instead if it's worth it.
  14. Its quite worn.. or VF for Very Flat,. but is that the remnants of something, or a large portion of nothing?
  15. Unwilling Numismatist

    On a roll or wishful thinking now? 1919H

    Thanks @Paddy thats a great offer. Will PM you later(Tomorrow). I was only going through the grots to see if anything would fill a gap or could be re-sold when this one caught my eye, but it certainly won't hurt to fill another gap with a definite rather than a might-be-but-cr*p example I just fear getting sidetracked into penny varieties, it's a long complicated and not cheap road to walk!

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    the other phrase was somewhat less gentlemanly
  17. Unwilling Numismatist

    1908 Penny (take 2)

    Thanks guys, some semblance of sanity has been restored Very pleased as that was in a £10 lot along with a couple of viccies I was far more interested in!

    Sinking of the Golden Hind ?

    Looks like it had a piece of tape across the middle of it for quite some time. Other than that, a remarkably average example.

    As I'm the village idiot around here, could one of the wisened gentlefolk please let me know how you (or aforementioned grading company) came to the conclusion that this coin is "cleaned" please? I just don't see "it". Cheers!
