  1. Don't worry! If I get an authoritarian identification I'll post it on the forum!

    17th Century English Tokens

    Congratulations! Nice collection
  3. I make it Spain Ferdinand 1455 Half real In circulation in England along with Flemish and French hammered coins. I assume the vast majority of the population was not too fussy about their coins, as long as they were silver!
  4. A dangerous statement Tom! It covers centuries of numismatics! The one I use in my avatar is still a challenge to all and sundry! I've sent it to the Coin News and am waiting with bated breath for a reply!!!

    Happy Birthday Master jmd

    At my age, I deliberately forget birthdays - so I've forgotten yours too! Don't get too high!
  6. What's happening about the book we gave a preliminary proof read earlier? Hope it's still in the offing as I enjoyed the extract we saw!

    "England's striking history"

    Good-e-nuff!!

    Artifical toning?

    To me, artificial colouring is no different to the practice of enamelling coins. It hurts when the subject is one that you'ld give your eye teeth for in 'normal' condition. But I suppose we must admit that "each to his own" although messing about with coins is, in reality, messing with a small piece of history.

    Artifical toning?

    I'm not a milled collector, but I've noticed, on Coinpeople, the fixation with "pretty" patenas., and I've been convinced that the colours are more due to chemicals than time!

    Grading Coins

    As you obviously have Spinks, try looking at the Henry II "Tealby" issues and you'll see the problem.

    "England's striking history"

    Any forecast on publication for the book, Chris? Could you send me one when it apears? (I'm fed up trying to get Smiths to stock Coin books)

    Grading Coins

    Grading milled seems to be more of a science than hammered, the latter being VERY subjective. I disagree with most dealers on hammered and wonder how much they would alter their opinion should they be buying from you! Experience is the only sure teacher, but it will probably involve a certain amount of mistakes, some even expensive!

    "England's striking history"

    Looking good Chris, but I'd rather wait for the printed version, just to compliment my library!

    1997 with necklace!

    Can't wait for the next scam! This is exciting!
  16. http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/2b/68/a0_1_b.JPG 1997 £2. Am I missing something here? I keep getting these things in my change>

    1997 with necklace!

    I'd guessed as much, but I've put one in my £2 series as a talking point! I wonder if I could start a rumour that 1992 10p's are REALLY RARE. I think I can lay my hands on a few!

    Had a quick look at all books. High standard as usual. I like the new covers!

    Hi There!

    It was a modern handgrenade (not the old pineapple) So that places it firmly in the last 50 or so years. The shape is not really an age indication. Wish i could find the picture for you, but no success yet.
  22. It didn't work, though! Hence your coin!
  23. Geordie582

    Hi There!

    All I can say is that it was 50p shaped and the seller described it as 50p, but that doesn't mean much! I think it was a token of sorts.
