Sylvester

I'll not bother listing the hammered but the milled sixers; Charles II - 1674 (AVF), 1675/4 (VF), 1675 (AVF), 1676/5 (VF), 1680 (VG), 1683 (VF). William and Mary - 1693 (AEF), 1694 (AVF) William III - 1696 (EF), 1697 Obv. 1/Rev.3 (VF), 1697 Obv. 3/Rev. 3 (EF) Anne - 1703 Vigo (VG), 1711 Small Lis (VF) George I - 1723 SSC (VF) George II - 1728 (F), 1728 RP (VF), 1728 P (VF), 1732 RP (GVF), 1735 RP (VG), 1739 R (GVF), 1741 R (VF), 1745/3 R (F), 1750 (AUNC), 1757 (EF), 1758 (EF) George III - 1787 No Hearts (EF), 1787 Hearts (EF)

I used to have one of those... Can't remember who i sold it to.

I wouldn't, not if they were half guineas... i love half guineas, a much nicer size than the full ones. Now if it was a row of half guineas and an EF+ William and Mary 1694 sixpence then i might have trouble.

I'm a gold man at heart, but i can't afford it so i default to silver. Copper has it's allure but it's either full lustre or no lustre. Verdigris is what worries me about copper. I like tin farthings too. Can never have too much tin.

Yes! At last, someone else who likes to break it down by reign. Stephen = 1 John = 1 Henry III = 1 Edward I = 3 Henry VI = 1 Mary I = 1 James I = 1 Charles II = 7 William and Mary = 2 William III = 4 Anne = 2 George I = 1 George II = 12 George III = 4 Elizabeth II = a dozen or so Rest are either German or US coins, two French and one Swiss one.

All in all about 60-70 coins. I tend to keep the number down. Plus another hundred or so low grade coins kept simply because they are silver and i like hoarding them and throwing them around. Cabinet for the best, Silver Jar for the silver.

Some post offices will do them, but fair warning to you, if you find one that will exchange a fiver for one, then they'll not take it back.

I might have to put some business their way then for just that one.

Coincraft state; 1672 A/B - £15 (VG), £45 (F), £150 (VF), £750 (EF) 1673 O/O - £15 (VG), £50 (F), £150 (VF), £900 (EF) Salt, pinch thereof... cos Coincraft is now 5 years old.

Due to other uni commitment the book is on hold till the summer holidays, but if you have the prices done, i'll happily take them now. If you feel like researching any others then i have the templates. I just don't have the time, alas...

Nah i don't mind waiting, at least you have them, which is more than i honestly thought would happen.

Yeah i've got Washington Quarters covered! I can't find any Maragret Thatcher coins though.

Pretty much with Swastikas, although some issues 1933-1936 didn't have them. 5RM and 50RPFGs being the most obvious. Not so much interested in the earlier period as yet, just trying to put together at least one, 'notorious' regime set. The Weimar Republic isn't high up on the list. After Germany, i've got Mary Tudor hotlisted.

Hmmm, I have a few spare of those too. Are you looking for some Sylvester or disposing of them? I'm wanting. A mint (Berlin) issues in AUNC or better, UNC preferred. But lustrous AU is good be me!

Machin head bronze coins in BU with full lustre, what you got Chris, i'm needing some, any of the following; 1/2ps - 1973-1984 (were BU versions of '84 struck?) 1ps - 1980-84 2ps - 1975-1981

1998's and 1999's were not released into circulation and were in sets only. I'd take a closer look at that 1999 one of yours out if i were you.

I hoard the 1988 ones, but i've had to let alot go lately, i've only got 1 or maybe 2 left now, i did have about 8. Still no 2004 £1 coin for me here, i haven't had one in my change, but my father did, so i did acquire one via that method, but that's been shipped off the Finland for a collector there who was waiting for one, a year of waiting and it's finally somewhere in the post.

Out of interest what date is that one penny? (Looks like a pre-1992 bronze one to me)

The kettle is slowly boiling... and on and on... is it whistling? nooo....

I don't mind the odd enammelled coin, but you will note that one is colourised, and i don't think colourised and enammelled are the same thing.

I'm enclined to partially agree, especially if you're around my age, late teens, early 20s. Older women are just more mature. I mean when you're 18 or 19 and you have 16/17 year olds as the only young option they are generally very immature. Not all, but quite alot still have this thing about dressing like slappers, telling the bus all their 'stress' and issues down the mobile phone whilst sat at the back, feet on seats making the loudest pops and bags they can with the chewing gum... then when they start realing off who's sleeping with who, and who fanices who... and how they've nothing to wear even though they've just been clothes shopping. Suddenly, late 20s/early 30s seems the best way to go. Although admittedly i always preferred women as near to my own age as possible, either exactly or a year either way.

So with me and the slow progress on the Early Milled book, and you and the Re-vitalised Peck. This forums really going somewhere. I might hang up the keys at coinpeople and move here for good!

That would perhaps be one of the slight exceptions, older women are alright, as long as they ain't over 30. Younger women generally preferred.

With regards to myself Geoff, my motto was always "older is better", this applies to most things (although not all!)

It was in that particular case!
