  1. Every sympathy David to you,your family and friends.
  2. Plenty of info on google. https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/glue-for-badger-brush-knot.465349/ Of course I prefer nice beaver.
  3. It is worth nothing more than face value....sorry.
  4. Considering 6,467,199.248 were minted my Red book gives a value of 30 cents in BU/MS65 and the Red book tends to be retail plus a bit.
  5. Your post in beginners area has been answered in full.I cannot see what more info you could require. The value is purely the silver content or maybe just over melt if you can find a punter.
  6. Maybe if dealers lists slightly raised their pricing and offered their coins with "make me an offer" you can drag a few more buyers in.I personally don't feel happy offering a bid on dealers lists for coins under say £25.Face to face at coin fairs I have no problem especially if I'm buying a few and have lovely crisp notes in my palm.
  7. One of my early purchases as a young lad was a 1841 1/2d which I paid 50p. My Saturday morning job as a butchers boy paid £2.It was a big decision as watching Ipswich at home was 25p bus,25p to get in and 6p was a programme.Both hold great memories but I still have my 1/2d. Nice coin Paulus.Was/is it one of the large batch of 41's sold recently on the bay?
  8. I also laid some non slip bath mats.Jobs a goodun.
  9. Great idea on the wet room.I helped my Mother with hers and with the addition of a waterproof radio and a plastic garden chair in the shower you can't keep her out of it.
  10. Hi Phil Welcome to the forum.If you list what you don't want we can give advice on selling,advice is free and friendly I suspect ebay will be be and outlet.You did make me grimace with "pots of predecimal" this needs sorting before untold damage occurs.The modern stuff will probably not go up or down over the short term.
  11. This seems to be widespread in the sinister world of slabbing.
  12. A thrower.
  13. Who would you recommend for a club/institution ?I was with a group based in Swansea until the founder died and his widow didn't want to take the club further.For a few £ I got insurance and decent news letters. I haven't bothered since. I need to get back in the frame.
  14. Rob and Pete Manc mafia no doubt.
  15. Great picture.I have a Garrett 250. It can be difficult to get permissions.20 yrs ago was much easier. A chap I know used to slip the foreman a drink on new housing sites and filled his boots up. His cabinet of finds was jaw dropping.
  16. LCA do a regular auction and were part of CGS now LCGS I believe.To their credit they get most things right.On the more expensive coins keep your wallet shut until you know what you are buying.The dealer is probably spending your Olympic coins down the pub at face ...I wouldn't be prepared to list on Ebay. Imagine ebay,paypal and P&P fees.Your dealer sounds like scammer and one to avoid.
  17. They maybe useful to a school for a project but they have no monetary worth.
  18. I hope you're enjoying your day John.All the best. Peter
  19. Utter scumbag. Tomgoodheart on the forum (Richard) is your man in the know on CH 1 1/- 's.There are better fakes about so tread carefully or buy from trusted dealers.
  20. OK Michael a nice profit of which i'm sure went to homeless kittens.
  21. She had a fling with Corbie in the late 70's She had her bread nicely buttered, Oh dear.
  22. Part of the training ? .I have a few blue force buddies...great chaps.
  23. John is an ex cop. Have a great concert wear your bin bag with pride.
  24. I like ebay because it is a 24/7 resource.Back when £1 - $2 i filled my boots up from the US.it can be hard work but I still enjoy burning some mid-night oil.
  25. I was born in the early 60's and loved the "old" coins.Parents friends and my family always gave me what they found. My Godmother bought me a Smiths album on my 5th birthday and I soon filled this up.On holiday in the early 70's I got my 1st George 1 1/4d....I was hooked. I had all 4 of check your change booklets and still going in the hobby.
