posties been with the latest recycled south american rainforest from the RM.....the rubbish just gets worse. mind you that 1kg gold coin would weigh your trussers down, theyre only minting 60 a cool £100,000 each. gonna be checking my change a little more often now... incidentally, i have a couple of £2 brittanias.....kinda like em, kind relatives have bought em for me as pressies and the like. so the 2012 £2 brittania is a very nice £57-50 from rm in what they claim is a new style display case, cardboard to you and me. bullion uk have the same coin for £25.....thats a lot of dosh for a cardboard box, and some think slabbing is dear

no roman double florin proof then

i was kinda hoping for £10 for the circulated coins and a further £6 for the other 2 plus P+P, however much that turns out to be. now that i know youre scottish, ive got to at least triple that

no..........i have 1 whole set of 29............ and then i have 20 coins taken from circulation plus another 2 in rm packs. youve been quick enough to jump on peckris here, but youve not answered the question........how much do you want to pay?

no reply from mr Azda, so i will keep em myself

wow....i didnt know there was a place called coin news ....hey you said you lived in slouff

sluff isnt too many miles from me.....i live in sunny suburb of Ashford (middx) which is actually in Surrey

debs.....wouldnt mind seeing the obverse

i did suggest you could ask collectors here in the uk to help you, but youve gone very quiet. okay dave.....the question now is what would you be prepared to pay? ive mustered the troops and between us i can round up 20 different designs,all taken from circulation. ive also 2 extras in the mint packaging........so just 7 to get.... if you want em

interlinked rings of st edmund.....or something like that.

welcome to Surrey Dave.....

[no it aint dave.......ive got maybe 7 or 8 dupes, 50 p each and postage dont come to much, how many others here can fill the gaps. if you dont ask, you dont get

my mother in law bought my son a RM set, i have most from change. if i get the whole set it will have cost £14-50, i wouldnt pay any more. maybe some collectors here may have spares from change you could obtain, ive got a few if you wanna swap that beaut 1927 florin proof

do you do terms....ive a pound a week in mind.....

ive got 2 of em...........total cost 40p, i wont be putting em back into circulation, if a numptie wants to buy one however

i had lots of 20p pices with these errors, i kept them a while, looked at them through a magnifier, enjoyed studying them. eventually i spent them on a couple of pints of speckled hen......there will be somewhere in leeds that sells speckled hen i was surprised at how many coins in circulation that have soo many manufacturing errors, my experience is that the 20p and 5p seem to suffer more than most. perhaps this statement is inaccurate however as the 50p coin seems to have almost disappeared from circulation ( around these parts), with millions of rare examples being offered on ebay . the 10ps ive looked at, has seen fewer errors, with just a couple of examples found.

ive spent more than a months income, ive also taken a 10p out of change......more relevant for me, and the point i made in such an apparantly unfriendly way earlier, is this......show me the £1000 coin, i could learn soo much from a coin i may never have in my possesion, tell me what it was that made you pull that 10p.....far more interesting.

my reply wasnt in any way unfriendly, just my observation that this question has been asked sooo many times before...like slabs. i do wonder if people do actually spend the same amount every month or the same percentage every month. my buying has changed over the years, i used to buy regularly, mostly sixpences, now i collect florins d/florins and crowns just buying the best piece i can when ive saved funds....at the end of the day though.....does it really matter? friendly

so.....back to the original question, totally irrelevant..........theres a wide spread of incomes on here and a wide range of those who wish to spend their cash or virtual cash on coins or loose women. this question is as relevant as to how much money we spend on petrol each month. but anyhow...........5% on coins, 5% on petrol and 90% on loose women crap isnt it?????.....how about a proper question on coins?

i think our collecting interest are similar.... i would say that davies is better for 1816 onwards, i bought groom in december 2010 for something to read over that xmas and value it as one of my best referece books for the period it covers. having said that, i own esc and refer to it often. i would not want to have to give any of them up. Spink i upgrade when my book becomes tatty, so ive gone from 2006 to 2012, i think spink is a great reference book, but too much emphasis is placed on the prices contained within. Not much of answer, i think the replies here are all along the same lines, build up a small library over time if i were doing that now it would be 1/ davies 2/ groom 3/ spink 4/ esc above all that there is the amazing wealth of information contained on this forum.....now that really should be looked at.

........me neither ...... what a beaut that coin fair is eh?

sheeeeeeeeeeeettttt, goulloids........i told you to be diplomatic

never a truer word said in jest
