www.coinsgb.com Its finally here it has taken me over a year to build (so far), with a lot of help and a lot of sweet and tears. I know it’s still not perfect and it needs a little fine tuning etc but I have uploaded it to the net for your viewing pleasure. I would like to say big thank you to everyone that has been kind enough to have helped me and who continue to help. I would also like to ask if anyone has any pictures of coins missing from the site and that would be kind enough to send me them to be uploaded to the site for which I would be most grateful. I would be happy to add your name below them and an address to a coin related website if you have own one. You can contact me at sulo@coinsgb.com P.S. the forum should be up and running in a week or so and I would be extremely great full if you would do me the honor of joining it. Many thanks, Hus

q I don't think the quotes are working yet but its nice to see the forum returning back to normal Chris.

Sorry to here about the bad news Chris. If it was spammers they are starting to stoop pretty low. My Windows wasn't working today and I tried repairing it which didin't work so I had to format my C drive and do a complete re-instal. Needles to say I lost a lot of work and programs. I have never understood the people whom deliberately destroy other peoples hard work or that deliberately spread viruses.

I only wish is that you join and hopefully enjoy my forum as well. Thank you, Hus

Great News! I am now officially a dad. My first child, a beautiful baby girl, Sophia Estella Sulo was born Wednesday 1:39 a.m. she weighs 8 pounds 11.5 ounces (3.95kg), she is 35cm tall, and I am over the moon. Sophia and my wife Lorraine are now out of hospital and are home safe and well.

Thats some balancing act! Check this out: 1920 Great Britain One Penny [Rare Quality] "Sharp Clear Date Amazingly Low Overall Wear, a Rare Quality for a coin this age" Link to eBay 1920 Rare Quality Penny

Thank you for all your kind wishes. I'm into day three now and the days have just flown by! We are starting to get a bit more settled now and Lorraine would also like to thank you all as well.

Thank you all for your kind wishes. I am so happy. I can't stop smiling! Hopefully she will be into history and coin collecting like her dad and granddad. As for spending money and the coin budget taking a hit, it already has. Prams, Moses baskets, cots, baby monitors, car seats you name it my wife has probably bought it. I might have to take you up on your offer before I know it Chris.

Great coin Teg displaying a multitude of errors.

Interesting coin Coin-Hunter. I would agree with Colin's verdict. It is a repunched letter. I would also like to use it on my site if possible I could list it in the error section. I am planning on listing more error types soon ie. repunched letters, die cracks, wrong spellings etc.

By “officially marked†does the seller mean the scratches along the centre of the reverse?

Thanks guys Bill I will probably take you up on your kind offer shortly.

Welcome Mike!

Is the error incuse or raised? If its incuse it could be a struck through fragment if its raised then it could be a die cud. A cud is a damaged area of the coin. It looks like a blob on the coin which and is raised above the field a little caused from a chip in the die. Similar to a die crack or cracked die error.

It could be a struck through fragment error. Where a small piece of metal fragment has been struck onto the planchet and merged with the coin.

Yes I saw it. It is an error a brockage infact. "A brockage occurs when a coin is struck and then sticks to usually the bottom die. Then a new planchet is fed in and struck. The original coin that was stuck then acts as a sort of die and leaves an incuse reverse image on the other side of the second coin. Brockages can be found which are miss-aligned and partial. The most sought after type are the "full" or "mirror" brockage, where the image is fully centred and a mirror of the opposite side." Is it worth £595. Well it was to the bidders bidding on it but personally I wouldn't have paid that much for it. I have got two now a Penny which I paid £220 (eBay) for last year: and a gothic florin which I bought for £250 (Lockdales) not long ago:

You're welcome, Hus

Nice coin Gary, You haven't pictures of a normal 1911 6d for comparison by any chance?

$36,800 (including buyers fees) realised for Gothic Proof Crown at Heritage. Link to coin

The over date seems so obvious, I wonder how they missed it! It must have been friday late afternoon coming up to clocking of time when that sailed through NGC. A rare and lovely coin, nice catch Rob.

If only I had that kind of money to spend on a coin I would have quite happily bought it.

A lot of dosh for a gothic crown. Personally I think the one in Baldwin's sale last year was nicer, albeit a bit more expensive. On the collecting side of things, I thought the 1839/41 proof halfpenny was a lot more interesting. Nice proof Rob, Good price too. You weren't the lucky bidder by any chance?

Just out of interest what was the first British proof to be produced?

Dentist oh no! That should be cutting it close. Good thing your not going to the emergency dentist in the UK I’ve heard a couple of horror stories locally. People going into get fillings done and getting their teeth pulled out instead, as it is quicker and cheaper for the emergency dentist. Plus it’s quite hard to get on a dentists list here. I had a lot of trouble getting back with a local dentist after I left the Royal Navy as I was no longer on my local dentists books. So are you back to the UK for business or pleasure?
