This is a florin- the two above are doubles...

I've been wondering about this one.... It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report, and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections. I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure..... It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail. Will the edge knocks detract from its value? I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....

Mmm..Devil's Advocaat...my favourite cocktail. Except Tequila Mockingbird, obviously....:) -
Ha! Is a saw a very thin file? Where does one stop and the other start? Is one car 'traffic'? Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc.. All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall. I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....

Pete- I was going to 'like' your post, but I thought it looked good for you to have a reputation of '666' a little longer....:) Nice of Mark Florida to show the other side of slabbing......hmmm...maybe, just maybe, I'd use a certification body, if i was a dealer, but for now I'm really happy with Allen's excellent grading book...... -
It needs a hole in it to be a washer. Mind you, a washer is only a very very short pipe......

Hello all. After a bereavement (97!!) , the family I work with asked my advice. they have some Vic/Ed/GV silver, which I'll put on here, but there is a pile of Netherlands silver- 1840's to WW1 era, 2 1/2 Guilder downwards. Also some 19th C. U.S. Indian head cents and 5 cents. Is it worth putting on here, or is it better to suffer the slings and arrows blah blah on Fleabay? I'm trying to get the family the best return..

Hi Kev I'll be putting some silver - a bereavement pile- on the For Sale section as soon as. May be something for you in that lot. I know there's a nice 1887 florin, 2 double florins, and a beautiful 1908 half crown etc... B

I had this fall out of a tin of coins today- is it a coin or a button? it's 26mm diameter, but under 2mm thick. The crown looks vaguely scandinavian... B

Or those alphabet letters in the sweet shop......:)

Slabbed as VF40? Miaow!!

Is it just me, but are the standard accepted rarity ratings sometimes surprising? I feel the 1860 F17 is more common than Gouby R6, the 1867 F53 is way more rare than N3, the 1874H F76 is more common than R8 ( Michael used to say R7, but uprated it ) the 1875 F79 is way rarer than R5, and the 1875H is more common than R5. What do you guys think? B

What I had was a text clipping- a highlighted section from an email....

and again-how do I attach something so it is on the page, not zooming into a 'downloaded' file?

oops did it again • The first ch.textClipping

Got a reply from Pitney Bowes, the US agent who deal with some Ebay sales, after I pointed out the 5% import tax on coins, and the near on 25% I'd been charged. The seller's shipping charge was on top, and appears from this that it's the charge to ship the item to the shipping agent???? • The first ch.textClipping

I took apart an old disc drive, and got the curved neodymium magnet out. Sliding a coin down it at about 45˚ really shows up sterling silver from other alloys. Only pure copper comes close.
