Perhaps even more so in today's money

Exactly that. It would cost me over £5k a year in train fares, and I only live about 20 minutes from St Pancras on a fast train. Perhaps it's a low offer to try and entice a young, enthusiastic person with a genuine interest in coins that would be excited about the job enough to stay for that kind of money, rather than someone who just wanted the money.

Morning all, On my last visit to Baldwins I heard that they were taking on a new junior numismatist. Not that I was looking for a job, but out of interest I had a nose around. It looks like minimum wage. Seems a bit low ball to me, certainly in London and expecting someone to commute. https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=cc69737a76dc731f&advn=5519585465138175&adid=447541345&ad=-6NYlbfkN0DkJMkHoMQrocPKu2SidVJosSscciceVH3ZJ3pSjDhZfZ5O7BLF3dEGfUgf2bI6LYbY_nw_PTsL1I13yB9kPo_ICxtNUJQo6gAEFzGlMD32hdSwYBky8hvPtFgGsmVVOdHARlnkwbf4lLtiB-4KDtcxytsJ4B_SZMJlFYBZEKE-D1TC52r-FV1R6LK0w4-qHM8hAdoUhzHcPbMMgEI2QS-rkZKvArfbe6a8s6ZZVgC9REUNhzKyVhzMKXCof-k08dQh7whtP_QigSiyYNVHppVWUG1r_oRLNOyuJ1bKYMTmSYEMBZNvf_AYACYfT5OxJkL3A9WcotqFSPfvmeBCw_4ySYhvPUAc_kRVhGLDid4j5IF2jvRmEUKFeTdVl_mjciOL-TN5Dl9jRsKbX2g0q4119SDb3pp0JoASHs_JpBBMmopYzff7Tsgpwe-5jxXKJkLWx3vtL9H3T0t8pSThI_VqqBm2qGMoLkkoux2ZHlTEMOlbt28vRyyEHGkca5GiRYvMVxSX95bPWXhieOQ7txHtsZZrbulDKY0yVFnhSxlmAeKAQjnrOtkhX2KyOYnXRcvIqY5xNFIEIA%3D%3D&from=mobRdr&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.indeed.com%2Fjob%2Fjunior-numismatist-cc69737a76dc731f&desth=67bf6459f7049c0f23e5d06a0d20d39d&prevUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.indeed.com%2Fm%2Fjobs%3Fq%3Dnumismatics%26l%3D%26from%3DsearchOnHP%26sameQ%3D1%26sameL%3D1&tk=1iurmkl1miogj808&dupclk=1&acatk=1iurmkphlkk3m801&mclk=default&pub=6917c08ec3ecf6012dd26f3773156e870cace3277f6b99df&camk=ethIe0s0hedv0sFhikL48A%3D%3D&xkcb=SoCu6_M3wbldf3WtEp0LbzkdCdPP&xpse=SoAw6_I3wblc6v29gZ0IbzkdCdPP&xfps=37507816-e192-467d-a20e-225e815ae62b&utm_source=%2Fm%2F&utm_medium=redir&utm_campaign=dt

Yuletide felicitations to everyone. I hope 2025 is a happier and healthier year for all, and that we all manage to find a little unnoticed gem tucked away in an auction catalogue somewhere.

It was probably unsold. If you want it, likely as not available at the low estimate if you email them.

I think his prices are here: https://robdaviscabinets.co.uk/prices.html

I think Atlas picked up a number of his coins in the last auction and haven't been able to move them on at the mark up they were trying to get. Back to auction they go.

I had exactly the same reply. I should imagine there'll be a few of these being sent out.

I messaged the coin cabinet when I saw it, but as yet had no reply either. I'm sure I had an email from them a while back detailing some business changes, but can't find it now. Perhaps there's new staff etc.

Perfect. Thank you. 👍

Britannia's face looks like she's been stung by a wasp.

Morning, Seeing as 1899 pennies are in this thread, could someone confirm if I have Gouby BP1899Ac here please as I don't have the book? Many thanks.
