    What are your best coins?

    Do you know who has these rare proof sets? I know that Mark Ramussen sold a penny and a proof two pounds sold for £66, 700.

    You could just save up for one and hope that one comes up for sale some time in the future. Did they issue the Edward VIII coins as proofs?

    Thats a very impressive collection considering it is only a few months old. You might just find an Edward VIII if you raid the royal miny to steal their dies and make them yourself!

    Emperor Oli, How many farthings do you need to complete your collection, and which dates do you need? A useful website which has a huge selection of farthings is www.onlinecoins.co.uk.

    Coin values

    If you look at the Dr. Nicholson collection of half pennies, some of the prices have gone through the roof, for example, the 1925 ME half penny stands at a staggering £140! This just shows that a coin is only worth what a collector is prepared to pay for it, not what Spink says it's worth.
  7. Hi everyone, I just want to know your views on whether coin values will go up for 2005 and whether the market will continue the boom that it is currently experiancing. My view is that coin values will increase by about 10-15% in UNC and less in other grades.

    Thats okay, also, I don't know anyone in my area who is interested in numismatics, I suppose we are a bunch of specially selected people with the best hobby ever.

    If you do manage to meet your goal it will be nothing short of impressive to any Numismatist!

    What are your best coins?

    With that sort of money, you could buy an 1849 farthing in UNC. The best place to look is Colin Cooke's special farthing section.

    Wow, that must be a really nice coin to have. I would like to get a sovereign of Willian VI but my budget won't stretch that far just yet!

    Cartwheel penny (1797)

    Yes they are because all of the late cartwheel issues had an opposite die axis.

    The situation in Iraq...

    In my opinion, it is Americas war that Bush chose, just like Vietnam we were asked to join the war but then we refused. However this time we have got ourselves into a very long, tiring, and totally unnecessary slog.
