God, I never thought of the Scots, not sure what side they're on? ;-) We're on the right side of Hadrians wall

Most of the world has a climate, we have weather There's no such thing as the wrong weather just the wrong cloths Unfortunately there's not many Tarzans in this jungle who wear cloths these days. A big wooly jumper is sufficient. I'll keep my leapord skin loin cloth for the bedroom

Maybe when you' ve finished with the shillings you can start on the £1 coins, apparently there's 14 million of them in the UK, or was it 40 million? Anyway, that should keep you out of trouble for another few years

I used to dribble over the TR7 as a kid

Unfortunately i'm agreeing with the old codger here, looks silver washed. Can you weigh it?

It was 23 degrees in Scotland last week, blizzards forecast for ALL of England this week.........Safe flight home

Thouhg this might help next time anyone asks how many of these were actually minted. This is from the national archives at Kew (retrieved by a fellow collector) Letter is dated Feb 1935, so even back then there was some serious collectors

Yiou have far to much Debbie, being able to afford a holiday.............

I did acknowledge the source, i didn't name the source as it came from somewhere else and i thought i'd add the letter here, i don't personally know the source, so my apologies if i did'nt help you in any way......

Maybe take a good look at the ebay seller ID and see what you spot. To give you a little hint, there's a * in the name, so i would'nt trust that price what so ever You've got me there, Azda, what do you mean? If it was shill bidded, there's still £33 to pay in fees! And why bid up your own item that high, surely it suggests there was still someone willing to pay over £300? As I said, though, the coin may well have been UNC, but without having it in hand, and no talk in the description about lustre, etc, I couldn't even conceive of a bid at half of what it went for! That was one of the sellers with whom there was more than a whiff of collusion between him and other eBay sellers with similarly styled names. The coin definitely looks to be a proof though, not a currency piece. Correct on all counts Nick

So, are the dealers amoungst us finding it harder to pick up decent stuff at reasonable prices, IE: the bread and butter coins, what you'd sell on a weekly basis perhaps?

Is this major variety listed anywhere? ESC 1177 (R2 Rated = Very Rare) and Spink 3647

"Restrike" and "original" are not the right terms for a coin that was never out of production for over 200 years. According to the article seuk submitted and i quote "Various articles claim that the Maria Theresa Thaler was re-struck with an unchanged appearance since 1780. However, this is only really true for restrikes made after about 1850. Don't shoot the messanger

Anyone tried Mrs Miggens Pie shop (Blackadder) Love that programme......I lived about 10 miles outside Accy.......Still a shithole lol

Well, here's another.......Graded as VF (not by me) but may help the cause

Do you think people are going to get burnt from these high prices, or do you think this is how things are going to be in the future? Are the British coins now playing catch up with the Americans? It does seem a lot of money 4x over book, but if you ever watch Heritage auctions you'll see some crazy prices for British coins there also

Can we ask what you paid for it?

E and E* are both Edinburfg Scott, the E* being the rarer of the 2 same coins

Looks like the Government is running out of things to tax. To tax a pie is scandalous, next it will be sandwiches, bacon sausages and eggs. Tories, Labour whoever, they're all as bad as each other, full of sh%t. I reckon Mickey Mouse would do a better job than any of these idiots........

Oh well, you can console yourself with the fact that "only" 125 members of the public will get ripped off. Or, if Coincraft buy them all and add their own versions to boost sales, it could be 5,000... My neighbour is from Essex somewhere and knows the guy who owns coincraft, apparently he's an American? Who is? Your neighbour in Munchen from Essex or the guy who owns Coincraft? Either way what's that got to do with 20% going onto the price of hot pies in Blighty? Correct, my neighbour is from Essex who lives 2 storeys above me, and apparently they're quite good buddies. The neighbour is a note collector.......I'll be taking a looksy at his notes soon Ps a Oner is also a ton where i came from.......

Chief Wigam lives and breaths

Yanks............Cos Brits don't have the Geld, just ask any coin dealer

Your wife is our secret assasin Don't get to attached to your todger, you may find it lying on the floor at some point.............Oh wait, you probably have after the red wine Dave she is like my favourite duvet.The finest goose feathers (and not from Argos).I really don't want to trade her in for a texting 20 year old....hang about She bought me my Peck (who else would do that?) She also dropped your Farthing Trays............ Need we say more
