Maybe Sluff just isnt deemed worthy of newly minted coins... Although - I was the first person in Coin News to get a 2008 shield back coin... -

The problem with that of course is that you then have to go into the bank and pay back in about £748 of loose change... As little as that?! Nah - it would be a case of replace anything I took out, and then they can just stick it on their big scales out the back and it'll be fine! -

If it is, its very localised! I (in Slough) have seen all of two (swimming and badminton) in circulation - but a friend in Reading has virtually completed the set! I'm half tempted to go to the bank and get a £500 bag to see what I can find! Get a £250 bag of 20p whilst I'm at it - see if I cant find any more of my die-cracks! -
And finally, some daylight pics! 1927 Rev 1927 Obv 1928 Rev 1928 Obv Oh, and the set is gone... sorry!

Gothic Crown, showing it off!

I think it would have to be in bigger chunks than that! Ahh Chris - you missed a trick there! A pound a week is fine for the next millenia! And Peck - I dont think they'll take Totnes pounds in Deutschland! -

Done! In some parts of the world, that would constitute a contract! Lovely coin though... -

I reckon Tom's 'a few here, a few there' route is the best way if you can't get them from change... £2 for a presi pack is robbery! Although, if you get the aquatics one in the pack, check to see if the swimmer is drowning! -
Good old olympic junk!

Genius! Question... what do they qualify as 'student'?! Does it have to be a university person? A-levels? KS1?! Waiting list for nursery?! Next question - how quick can I adopt one?! Can it be like a sponsorship programme? send them 5 beer tokens a month and get the occasional picture and Christmas card... -
Sorry, my mind reading abilities have gone a bit rusty. Perhaps Derren Brown might help? My thoughts exactly! After I'd spent 5mins working out what was meant...!
-
No offence taken at all... Thats what you get for a 5min bodge job on a Friday evening before going out for dinner! I'll get some proper shots in the (hopefully!) daylight when I get home this evening. I didnt realise that the crown was only in the set... thats a whole lot of broken up sets around then!
-
I may be wrong, but did they not strike more crowns than sets? Either way, its a 6-coin proof set, and a separate crown on its own which incidently, I'l upgrading to aUnc! There is also a VF/aEF 1928 crown up for grabs! Pics below... 1927 Obv 1927 Rev 1928 Obv 1928 Rev Set without flash Set with flash Set crown Set crown and 3d Set 2/6 and 6d Set florin and shilling Set case

Is it even Silver?!

Sweet Mary mother of Jesus! For the first time since I graduated, I glad of my Chemistry degree! Everything from acid baths to re-plating! And on the subject of verigris - two lines... "Rub with a fine cloth which has been treated with copper soap. Copper soap can be obtained from drugstores." ============================== Having now googled 'copper soap', all I'm coming up with is a fungicide... I wonder if that is what they mean?!
-
Yep, brasso and brillo pads all the way!

The numpties that bought them for £300 are the ones suffering. I don't understand anyone who trys to sell one for more than £75.I think they will drop to £15-£20. Unlikely when people are still selling (or more importantly buying) at £100+... the price won't drop until the numpties realise they are not a long-term investment. Not eBay, but ouchy!
-
hmm... we'll see!
-
Yeah, the poor bugger who bought it from the LMO in the first place - and they only paid £30 for it!
-
The one I got was in 'Excellent' condition as well... the rest are only 'good', and one of those is nearly a ton!

Coin tickets - pencil or archival quality ink?
Cerbera100 replied to Oxford_Collector's topic in Beginners area
Possibly overkill - but the felt will be fine! Just make sure that you don't use anything pointy to get the coins out of the hole - or that the hole is big enough to get your (gloved) fingers into! Managed to get a nice scratch on one coin by using a piece of card to lift it - didnt notice the card had a staple in it! Fortunately, only a 1970 proof penny - but served as a sharp reminder! -
Already done - got a copy for £10.80 inc postage off amazon!

To get around this completely, I have labelled each tray and cell and have a database with that reference for it. I then have a separate coindex whatsit with paper envelopes with the cell ref on with the appropriate tickets in... Possibly a touch cumbersome, but works for me!
