    Farthings from 1799 to 1956 are well covered in Collectors coins GB. This would be an excellent start.

    Ouch! Could you please tell the forum from where you obtained it.

    Coinageofengland had/has nice coins and best offers are responded to quickly.

    Now I have heard some excuses.

    ESC was way before Coincraft. Spink just dip their toes into varieties. It is only when you dig around a series that varieties appear.

    I reckon Stuart would pawn his boat for a decent rare Liz. The common type's are hard enough to get a defined obverse.

    Very nice but postage from the US

    Now this is a Fine ish coin with dings. £149 plus special delivery. What the hell does he think he has got? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290953441637?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

    I must confess I bag up all 5's,2's & 1,s and just keep anything that looks AUNC. Likewise I'm tempted to start a survey myself....sad isn't it.

    I think Stuart is getting information overload.

    It is a brass gaming token. The majority of these have strange inscriptions,dates,monarchs. They we produced in vast quantities in Victorian times. So many people think they have found a guinea. A gold guinea will weigh approx 8g whereas these brass tokens approx 3.5g. At coin fairs you can take your pick for less than £1 each although some suckers on Ebay pay more.

    Declan is no doubt gagging and drooling for his variety fix.

    It is worth making contact with BNTA member John Whitmore http://www.whitmorectm.co.uk/ There is also David Magnay and ABCCOINS AND TOKENS. Best of luck.....you will need it.

    Poor old Stuart was just getting the Reveille. On with the socks and hands off.........

    Nice date,shame about the face.

    It is one of those "grade for issue" We all know it is poor or there abouts. In the case of such coins a grade is pointless.

    Land of Grey and Pink and Girls who grow plump in the night. Cunning stunts was short listed. My older sister was into Caravan and as so often happens I grew to like them. I checked my daughters downloads and was pleasantly surprised to see my influence's.

    I don't think Dave's spelling is bad. I believe he has a battered mars bar in one hand and....I won't go any further as it is before the watershed. & the both of you stop squabbling. Getting back to Turing. A brilliant mind who was treated appallingly.

    Neil will be busily repricing his top notch pieces.

    I would like to see a new grading system for hammered. It would be along the following lines. ID'd but rough OK OK+ Nice Nice+ Very nice Very nice + Acceptable to Richard Acceptable to Rob Ashmore quality. Why I say this is because I've bought "as struck" hoard coins which have gone straight back. A point system as used in banknote grading might be workable.(lose points for pin holes,creases/folds,bankers ink marks ETC)

    All this music waffle has turned me to visit Amazon and buy 7 CD's and 1 DVD. I got a couple of Caravan CD's,early Bowie BBC sessions and the DVD of his appearances on BBC. I also got some early Clash The Peter family will be rocking this weekend.

    The London fairs are the only regular fairs I haven't been to. Basically I like the Birmingham and Wakefield fairs because they are on a Sunday. If you Q about 9:45am you will be amongst the 1st 50 in. I would like some feedback from the Coinex ETC. In the main are they not the same dealers on the circuit?
  23. Peter
    The farthing lists are a great resource.Everyone loves a book. Neil there is no bad publicity. Great to have you aboard. I bet you have a few good stories.
  24. Peter
    Welcome NRP As a positive I've always been happy with service,coins etc. We all need sandwiches.

    The only thing with York is it is over 2 days. It would bug me if I didn't go on the Friday.
