C. Cooke's Farthings to be sold
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I thought it might be something like that and the seller was being a bit sneaky. -
C. Cooke's Farthings to be sold
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ex-Colin Cooke on eBay? -
eBay
-
"Not A Registered User." I've bought from this seller once before and the transaction went smoothly. Interesting what Lloyd said on CU about it really being run by a criminal.

Oh no, not just 4d-1d, but the whole damn set! Coin Rarities Online

He's got two of them for sale! He sure is going to be a rich man!
-
In an earlier post you said you wanted to collect them, in the previous you take a seller's slant on it. For selling, keep them in the packaging. For collecting, packaging or capsules.

I doubt you could scratch the coin from the plastic, I've got a Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coin in malleable plastic that has no scratches on. However, you obviously want to move them from the packaging to somewhere else, so I would recommend coin capsules, which can be bought from the proprietor of this site. Check the dimensions beforehand.

If you purely want to invest for silver content and not numismatic value, why not just buy ingots of the stuff? There are decorative mini-ingots on eBay but they sell for over melt. There are the occasional 1 kilogram Engelhard, Metalor or Schone ingots on the Bay but I don't know where about they end compared to melt.

Help to rescue the rabbits!

Jeez, scam attempts are a bit lax nowadays. -
Is this anything special
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Oh my. I'll defer to other experts but at first glance that looks like a noble. Other people ought to be able to tell you its age and approximate value. I would go back to this friend's garden and dig it up. -

Happy Birthday Oli.
Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Nope, no coins unfortunately! -
Happy Birthday Oli.
Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Thanks Chris, just been out driving with my Mum for the first time. I thought it went well but she's drinking brandy now. -
Eesh Would you really rest a coin like that on a rough piece of wood?
-
I think we can all pretty much guess where that will end up.

It would tie for me between Maklouf and Machin.

C. Cooke's Farthings to be sold
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What a publication! I can't wait until copies are released. -
Golly she was old. I expect that and the platinum coin will be moderately valuable but I don't know if people will be able to give you book prices for them, perhaps just melt prices.

Would you risk it
Emperor Oli replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd look from where the seller was first. South America doesn't seem a likely place for something like this to turn up, but that's just me. -
Today was GCSE results day across the country. I got 7 A* and 3 A, which I was happy with. Next year I'm doing Politics, Economics, German and Maths at Sixth Form.

This could be expensive, grade and value sort
Emperor Oli replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Slightly liberal I think. I would go a few grades lower, somewhere around fine, perhaps GF. -
Can anybody help?
Emperor Oli replied to tracey777's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I got the 2006 hardback last year, and it's chock full of info and full colour pictures. -
That seems to be what most Americans chuck coins into when something is amiss.

Politics yet again
Emperor Oli replied to Sylvester's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Definitely. It's a shame that Cameron pointedly distanced himself from Thatcher, I think that lost him support from grassroots Tories. Although Thatcher did sell off state-run industries, she did so because there were loss making, and technically inefficient in a changing world. To keep them state-run would have created a larger burden on successive governments and the taxpayer. As I'm sure you know, protectionism never works - in part it caused the WSC in 1929. Isolating ourselves from Europe would be catastrophic economically, as the Europeans are our largest trading partner. The problem with protectionism is that other countries would reciprocate by putting tariffs on our goods, so we wouldn't be able to buy anything from abroad, nor would be be able to sell it. Now I'm all for self-sufficiency, but there are some things Britain can't make as cheaply as other countries. I would rather pay less money for a foreign car than pay more for a lesser-quality British one, such as the monstrosities made by British Leyland. Like you, I would be all for keeping the colonies, but I wouldn't want them if they were in a state like India in 1947. I also have something of a penchant for Victoria politics, however the only reason it was pro-heavy industry then was because it was the industry that made the most money for the treasury. In the 80s, that had switched to the service sector, so manufacturing jobs became less and less important. It all started going downhill when MPs got salaries and the Parliament Act was passed.
