    Windows 10?

    Colin I agree we should all move on BUT I've gone back to 7 due to crap later systems. I will sit and wait but 7 still is OK for me. I was brought up on supercalc and a multi £ contract had 1 computer to share. Now even the site mice have pooters.
  4. SJI Welcome Bag them up in £10 face and sell them for £20. Don't forget the 1/2d's fit into 2p slot machines. 480 1/2ds to £1 50 2ps to £1 Not that I would consider this.

    I guess 'eye appeal' is everything nowadays ...

    Like you Hazelman I started by amassing everything. I still collect everything but my standards have risen. Sometimes when I get my coins out I will cherry pick ones to sell (apart from my farthings) Date runs are a thing of the past. Eye appeal is important to me.

  11. I hope Mrs Peter does not see this thread The dining room is Dad's coin room as I escape from Eastender's and listen to some Classic and a bit of Punk. I remember in 1977 The Clash came to Bury St Eds and the local press announced couples were fornicating on the floor,,,,on the ceiling would of been much more fun.

    Guess The Grade Revisted

    BTW it was graded by PCGS and bought from CC I do love it. I've bought a few slabbed farthings from CC who now rest out of plastic and in my FARTHING cabinet (thanks Neil)

    Coin restorer?

    Recently a 1917 sov was sold by a CGS partner it was so wrong. Plus there is a CGS slabbed 1865 farthing with a MASSIVE edge knock out there. That is dishonest. Nothing but a twat would drill a 1905 shilling and a good repair is fine by me. I wouldn't want the light polishing.
  16. I kid myself I buy to sell but I don't. The last count I had 14 Mitchell fishing reels numerous other makes and over 20 rods. My coins are a habit. i've got loads of 1859 farthings.
  17. The tone is just perfect. A coin like that keeps me ....well just floats my 70ft canal boat.
  18. A coin (From Wild Winds which I got my paws on) I went on a buying thingie and bought about a hundred Roman silvers and about 300 bronze/copper/gold...got the books but not the knowledge.

    Guess The Grade Revisted

    The 1893 florin is UNC maybe a weak strike I have a PCGS MS 65 of this.Bought from CC. A quality coin The middle coin is spot on. Notice eye wear. The 1901 would not appeal
  20. Paulus stop doing my head in. I've just got down stairs and done a quick swoop of last nights goodies (both daughters and boyfriends on the lash) Nice coins as always.
  21. So besides Freeman and V.R. Court there aren't any other penny surveys of interest? Many in Coin monthlies. Not just 1ds I've retained 100's

    Coin restorer?

    One of our members had a 1905 holed 1/- done. I'm Mr Picky but it was brilliant work. I've got a 1798 guinea with a smidge of solder. I will risk this myself.
