    I've never found gold. But to get a key date.....Can you PM me some lottery nrs.
  2. Peter
    Good stuff I've taken a few nice examples from circulation. Often the supermarkets and our village PO have mint bags.

    I spend hours on updating and variation hunting but spend very little. It is always new interests that broaden my focus. When something rings my bell I say ding dong.

    All you can do is block buyers. I'm sure we all have a list. The buyers and sellers are mainly great so I will still keep using it. I restrict countries although I have had been happy to deal with genuine collectors who email first. My eldest daughter does my listings although I pay heavily. Plus the trake down to the village PO.

    The 51 Crown isn't silver. A nice coin all the same. Buy one which is in its presentation box. They are great value at a few £'s. The important bit about the EDV11 florin is getting a good strong date.

    I've have a few good turn around's but a fair few dogs. I get the coin home and find a big dig in the cheek. Oh well. You learn a lesson.
  7. Peter
    You have £8 of coins there...then there is postage and ....just don't bother.

    Mainly coin dealers are Gents apart from the shillers. You only deal with bad apples once. When at the Midland I always head for my favourite dealer 1st and we greet with a handshake. Buy them a cup of tea / sarnie.

    I got my 50,51& 53 from the coin man on Bury market many years ago. I bought the 51 and the following week he gave me a 50 & 53. This was in the early 70's. Happy days

    1937 Crown

    The cost of grading will be more than the coin is worth. GEF send me your cheque.

    Bob A much hyped date. Get one in F and it will be rare. BTW sitting outside in beautiful sun. England I love YOU.

    My toe is going to be dipped in again. It is a bit of fun. Look out for Jakebake1978 and Shill me (MP if you are reading)

    I find it amusing that so many fools are out there. Just look at the PPI claims. Hopefully my 2 daughters are warned...although they do attract some right knobheads.
  14. Peter
    I do enjoy these. Joe public does reassure me sometimes.
  15. Peter
    Picking up a coin like that is a great feeling. But when you set standards it can be expensive.
  16. Peter
    The grade it got wouldn't worry me. If I saw it and the price was OK I would buy it. Cracking strike. By getting it graded you have added £20 to the cost. Spink is for BU.The whole scenario of TPG is a farce.(IMO)
  17. Peter
    Yep The hunt is 100% for me on 1/4d's I now type collect and pick up loads of......whatever. Mrs Peter still gets me Cuban Cigar. I don't want it every day. She still bollocks me for smoking in the living room.....the bloody things last for 3hrs.. A large glass of white and she is....easier
  18. Peter
    Oh but they do. It is a passion driven by our Mr Peck/Freeman and countless coin monthlies from days gone by. It must be 7/8 years since even Spink realised they had to up their game on buns.
  19. Peter
    I've got a decent collection back to 1895 but the buns are a science. I have a few examples back to 1797 which have caught my eye.

    My laptop died last week. Rather than spend a fortune I will just go and buy an Argos special. Back up on boys on a £40 hard drive. Windows 8 could Pee me off.
  21. Peter
    I've done the date run on 1/4d's from 1672 on copper, I don't have 1676 or 1693 but varieties keep me keen.
  22. Peter
    My pooter died on me yesterday. Just packed in and the screen is blank. I haven't backed up for a while. It maybe a cheaper option to go to Argos and get a Toshiba ItB for £280. I've borrowed Mrs Peters laptop but she works from home and ....well I can't use it. We have 5 pooters in the house with only 2 working OK. When my TV messed up I wanted to search the internet for a massive screen....trouble is Mr TV repair man fixed it for £36. I'm stuck with 37 inches.
  23. Peter
    Three scum bags ripped me off....profit gone The fourth one I called his bluff and had proof of delivery. Be very aware. I would much paint my balls red and sit up a tree and invite monkeys to a cherry eating contest.
  24. Peter
    Sorry ROBS70 You are going to be in a money pit. Get yourself a metal detector and earn £20 a week. It is a hobby and you won't get rich.....Unless you find a stash...How many people do this. I have found grots,nails,bits of metal. When I first started selling on ebay the scum are out there. Always send recorded/signed for because the scum have ripped me off.
  25. Peter
    You have to fall back on experience. There are no wholesalers just use your nous and try an auction. If you don't know your subject you will get burnt.
