Quite shocked by the news but completely understand the market is ripe and priorities change.

When will aboutsilverproofs.com go live?

If you're just not after bullion maybe start with Collectors coins GB for a few £ and Marsh publication for data. Gold being soft,grading and maintaining the grade should be your priority.A very pleasing series to collect.

The saying goes 'Jack of all trades,master of none'

I've got a login from when they 1st went live so no problem for me.It seems a strange decision for new members.

Weren't the 20 Balboa's just issued in the proof sets? I've just got the 1976 set which I picked up for a song some years ago.Some of the nicest looking coins IMO.

I've just ordered a few sizes of capsuals from China at less that 10p a pop delivered.Hopefully for use with cut hammered or snippets of numismatic info (tickets,lables ETC) I also have some foreign...predominantly French 18C that do not fit into a tray or a flip due to size.

Dia , weight and composition would assist.

There is nothing wrong with your coins as they are serving their purpose of educating.You can't go wrong for £19 for 2 silver coins over 300 years old. Obviously you can google and find many hammered coins to buy. I have bought from Historic Coinage (Clive), Saltford coins,Gillis,Lloyd Bennet,CC,Vosper and a few others including some US sellers. Auctions should also be on your radar although better pieces are sought after and bargains are difficult.I also often use VCOINS but you need to get in early on new listings.I don't discount ebay on new listings BIN and have sniped a few running their course. Don't forget we have online dealers on the forum who don't pay to appear on the top of google searches. I'm sure other forum members have favourites.Happy hunting.

You would think a grasp of Latin goes with the job....or ought to.

Copper I don't think you are referring to Garrets coin. If he picked up his crown for £22 I'm holidaying in Brisbane....

Shouldn't it be 208 mersey road ? Rob...Are you still in correspondence with Gunga Din????

Hi Welcome to the forum.The coins you have pictured are very low grade.Maybe you could get a bit above melt for some of the 3d's. The silver content is pre 1920 92.5% (sterling) and 1920 to 1946 50%. If you weighed them and put them on ebay in these 2 categories you should shift them.

Pete At what point do you stop upgrading?

My hard copy arrived today.

As a verb Vicky. I thought you Yanks used English as your 1st language

The online website is updated after hard copies and pdf's have been gorged.

It was a tongue in cheek suggestion that you post the coins to me...Oh well.

There is always a boaster.

TG asked you to post pictures.I'm asking you to post them to me. Very nice.

Paulus is offering them for £200.

Don't worry chaps,Pete will pop it in a CGS slab and start a Dutch auction.

You're just down the road from the Midland and it's the fair this Sunday....Just a thought.

Don't forget this is a PREDECIMAL forum and errors don't appear on my radar. Out of interest...what is the extra deal?

Pete I would never have guessed.
