    Just to start things off

    Colin was undecided on the matter, he ended his description with "is it a proof?"

    Ebay blacklist

    That is a great idea Oli! It would help us when both buying and selling (we can cancel bids of dodgey ebayers) You could be an Ebay policeman!

    If I collected farthings, I would probably have bought this: Farthing There are proofs listed for this date. Is it a proof?

    Beware of these ebay sales pitches

    Are you going to bring any mystery coins to the coin fair Chris?

    Value of a 1853/2 farthing?

    Collectors Coins 2004 says it is worth £45 in UNC, so I would imagine it would be wrth £5-£10.

    Rare coins!

    It is a rare coin and seldom seen above VF, you may not get another chance to acquire one in a better grade than VF

    Rare coins!

    Are you going to bid for it then Geoff?
  9. Half Penny Jon

    Ok, I'll let some of our new colonials in.

    I like the fact he used a picture of my coin! (1903 Half Penny ex. Colin Cooke).

    Rare coins!

    He is quite a reputable dealer, I doubt he would sell a fake coin unless he says it is a fake.

    Rare coins!

    I looked at his feedback and he bought it about 6 months ago in VF/NEF grade for £1000.

    I would only like to see them because I am interested in the format you have chosen Chris.

    It could be a ploy to ensure buyers that his coin is not fake when it in fact is fake! Elimentary dear Watson!

    It sounds to my like it is GF/VF to me because he says the date is 'readable' which usually cannotes fine/very fine.

    Have you decided on some prices yet or are you still gathering information.

    Coin Giveaway!

    Me too please! I love a good coin givaway!
  18. I don't know if there are many, or any at all! On the front cover of Spink 2004, there is a picture of the ex. Slanley Charles I Exeter Halfcrown dated 1642, which looks like a GEF/UNC to me.
  19. If you think about it there must be some hammered coins which have not been put into general circulation, the trouble is they are usually worn from being in the ground for hundreds of years.

    The funny thing is that it's virtually all true (well at least about people who have not got the first clue about the selling of coins)!

    Fur or no fur?

    Wow, I have a glass of milk with every meal and I love cheese. How do you survive?!

    Whats your favourite king and queen?

    I think her name was Victoire, I am not sure though.

    Fur or no fur?

    I love eggs! I can't believe you don't like eggs, I especially love a lovely goose egg with gammon!

    1981 half crown!

    It's in his printed catalogue as well. I meant to ask him about it. In the immortal words of Lady Bracknell, I have known errors in that publication. For ages he had Queen Victoria down as 1937-1901 and I've reminded him that Edward VII's wife wasn't called Alexander He is very careless sometimes considering he has a smaller army of I.T experts on his team!
  25. I have been collecting for 9 years and I am only 15. I started off collecting when my Grandfather gave me a bag of some predecimal coins which he saved when the decimal system was introduced. They were all circualted when I got them but I didn't care when I was 6!
