  1. I will be looking out for the DHL parcel (Dick Head Leaving in the blue bin) Thanks Pete... PS If it is not here by Tuesday you will get a NEG. Don't be hard on me my Best friend died last Monday.
  2. Cheers Bud What goes round comes round. I have sent coins and books to junior members.OK they have been off the forum for a while but I'm sure they will be back. I sent 50+ Vickie coins to the primary school 15 years ago and a few are still there.My wife was working there until last year and some of the blighters were after more.They couldn't believe the size of 1d's and 240 to £.
  3. Well 4 to be exact. The last NEF went for £9 not described as small date obviously. I must of picked up 20 in the last 2 years.Not so rare
  4. Pete I don't understand. It is a great sharing gift amongst forum members. What have I said to upset the cookie cart? I have been a member here for 10 years and managed to not upset anyone (as in life). PM and explain what I have done wrong. Your Happy Xmas is most generous. It gives me an idea for the new year although Paulus is still awaiting some foreign silver for a steak night. I'm in the loft tomorrow Paulus getting a mouldy Santa down who is the same age as my eldest daughter. Watch this space for a small date 1858 farthing (10 a 1d after all)
  5. Can't wait. I have a glass topped partitioned coffee table with fossils/medals/flint arrow heads/amber/lead shot etc Wow Pete this will fit in perfectly.
  6. Dave I will send Pete the postage cost to Germany as my present. You know you want a bit of numismatic history.
  7. Going back to 1760 CCGB2015 will be far more of a reliable guide.
  8. Don't forget Spink is only a guide and what research do you reckon they put into every coin?
  9. I have 5 of those trays ,a mahogany cabinet,2 aluminium cases with 6 trays in each,4 large albums,4 Numis small albums,3 x coin boxes for 2x2 flips,2x separate trays,a banknote album,a cheque album and 2 separate trays with my daughters coins (they don't take so much interest now) I'm not at all a coin greedy.
  10. Or a tiny bit of goddards silver dip.
  11. Peter

    Can anyone shed any light on these?

    They appear very crude and nothing like the Wellington tokens. Obviously manufactured after Trafalger ......England expects etc.
  12. Looks like an expensive weekend & takeaways become boring
  13. Slap the bishop Wax the dolphin Madame palm and her 5 beautiful daughters. Good thread
  14. Surely not better than Spanking year book.
  15. Barbados rum....you must be talking Dorleys. If I am going to have a spirit I pay to get the best.

    CGS - A customer-facing business?

    I have every farthing from 1672 to 1956 (excluding tin) my eye appeal is every thing to me (I do have tin YUK) It is what you like.My trays are at home and added to and drooled over.I love what I have got. Mr Colin Goode has kept me on standby.....I must have 20 or more small date 58 farthings and R/E 1856. Concentrate on your subject enjoy the hobby. Never an investment but keeps me happy. Happy collecting. Probably worth a few Bob. I also collect type from Celtic onwards My French & Indian are my main focus now although my Yank collection is getting pleasing....plus my bank note/checque collection is good...Just lost out on a Beale White fiver.
  19. New oven ordered delivery 16th Dec. Electrician sorted and good old Mum is helping with the cost. It will be the resting place of a 16lb capon on the 25th. Both of my daughters are working until about 5pm so it will be a seafood feast until they arrive home. Takeaway Pizza last night and micro chips with bacon//beans/egg tonight.. We do have a bread maker and the eldest is a sous chef who does a leek and spud soup to die for. My daughters arrived home with a bloody great Xmas tree...it is feeling Xmas bah humbug. The plan is to sell the main home and keep the bungalow on rent and buy in North North Norfolk. Boat / Shrimping and a freelancing bit looks good.The only trouble is my Mum....sister is oop North. My mothers sisters went to Aussie or US leaving us stuck in Suffolk. I admire Declan May be a Double deckecker for all of us in a nice Dorset location to concentrate on coins/publications. Don't forget you are dead for a long time..

    1840 Rupee

    Ebay has been a happy hunting ground for Indian coins.I just got 8 AU/UNC coppers for less than £6 delivered. The rupees have generally been less than £10 and similar to gothic florins IMO.
  23. I didn't marry her for cooking skills.

    1840 Rupee

    I've picked up some rupees and understand there are many varieties. I also like the coppers but confess to being no expert.
