    I didn't think the G.B.O.R would go in for that kind of thing.

    I didn't say I wouldn't make any mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. As yours was a mistake of grammar, I assumed that you and Sylvester were going to "pull me up" for mistakes in that, not petty typos
  7. That's not grammar, it's a typo

    If you offered some kind of discount I would definitely purchase it from you as long as you got it as soon as they came out....
  9. Does anybody believe in reincarnation? I thinkit's a load of crap but then again I'm a very cynical person
  10. Yes, I know about reincarnation but I was just puzzled as to why I would be a tree.....

    Doubtless it will happen but the mistake won't be as repugnant as yours

    No, it's just mixing up a possessive adjective with a verb is......unforgivable!

    In WHSmith they put them in Reference or Antiques & Collectables and I'd guess the same at Waterstones

    Proof?

    Well it's not a proof is it? Because he thought a proof was one with "H.P" below the head. So it is just a normal George VI coin.

    Larger WHSmiths sell them, as do Waterstones. I got mine from Stanley Gibbons in London. They're easy to find in normal bookshops, without ringing Spink's or emailing them

    Proof?

    I'm guessing your coin is George VI: The H.P stands for T. Humphrey Paget, the engraver. On the reverse of the sovereign and all the others with St. George slaying the dragon, there is a tiny B.P below the dragon: This means Benedetto Pistrucci, the engraver of that design.

    Edward VIII

    Edward VIII (Jan-Dec 1936), Matt Proof Brass Threepence, 1937, struck on a twelve-sided flan, bare head facing left, tiny HP below, edwardvs viii d g br omn rex f d ind imp,rev. thrift plant, date below, denomination above, (Peck 2366; S.4064A) light thumbprint on obverse, otherwise as struck with a dark tone, we believe the matt proof of this reverse is unique thus £35,000.00
  22. OK this is a token. On the obverse it has a seated woman with a sword and shield, on the reverse it says "Kings Lords Commons" with a crown over a triangle held by three hands. These were used in Middlesex. I don't know a value......

    Weird foreign coins

    Sweden although many Scandinavian countries produced Ore, I think it's Sweden

    Spink's auctions are no different to any others.
