I agree but........if one buys the reproductions, they normally have the makers mark on them, whether stamped or engraved. I wish they found another method of showing it was a repro than that but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Finally! Now the member list is actually navigable (is that a word? i mean that one can navigate through it easily )

How do you store your coins?
Emperor Oli replied to mint_mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That looks very similar to the Peter Nichol's one. I'd have a hard time trying to fill it, though! -
My collection used to just be totally random but now I've started collecting 20th century Farthings in the best BU (or nearest to) condition I can get. Anybody who wants to sell any....I will pay a premium!

1773 georgeivs III coin

Erm...and spending!? -
It says his birthdate in his profile

Ok, well, attach a picture because we don't have much to go off

Again, not my area, but it is pfennig. I don't think the German states were unified at that time (it was all fragmented and there were lots of little states, Prussia was the largest I think) so it could be from one of those... Ahh yes I'm right: Full Article If you registered and attached a photo/scan, we may be able to value it for you.

Hold the phone, Geoff ain't the oldest member! Bob-e is, born 1942 methinks!

Someone was appointed as something (yeah I'm accurate) I think it was Chairman but the Times said today that Dyke was considering it. -

Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ahh I stand corrected (in orthopaedic shoes hahahahahaha) Have you heard Greg Dyke is thinking of re-applying for the post of Director-General? It was in The Sunday Times today and I thought it quite funny as he said he would never work there again. -

I believe it was a fool on an Antiques programme -

1584 Elizabethan Coin
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Oh my edit button has gone missing. Anyhow, looking closer at the pictures in Spinks, the only ones I can see dates on are: Threefarthings Sixpence Threepence So, by process of elimination, I'm quite sure it's one of those Edit: The button has come back - weird -
1584 Elizabethan Coin
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, Gerald, it might be worth something but we need more to go off than "1584 looks silver". If you could register and attach a picture, that would be most helpful. Or, if not, a description. It could be: Fourpence-halfpenny Twopence-farthing Shilling Groat Halfgroat Penny Sixpence Threepence Threehalfpence Threefarthings Halfpenny Crown Halfcrown As you can see, we need more info -

1773 georgeivs III coin
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Oh no; budget cuts would soon see our ideas off! -
Aargh beyond words Well I estimated 100 because they had them mounted on this transparent map of the Mediterranean and I guess 100, it could be 50 for all I can remember. Oh yeah and Museums don't need business - the majority are funded by the State.
-
Oh yes, centuries of inbreeding

I visited Blackburn Museum this morning and on the early Greek coins from Athens they have the Athenian Owl on. I was really looking forward to seeing the collection but they only had about 100 out. I know they have a Charles II Reddite Pattern Crown, some Commonwealth pieces and a Charles I Triple Unite but those weren't on display! I felt cheated

Good point. It would be good if they recruited numismatists like ourselves for a Coin Forgery Squad. heheheh -

Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suppose it's like drugs really - if you're caught with a small amount of a low class substance, they'd probably let you off with a warning. I'd imagine its the same with forgeries but I'd be careful. Edit: Typo
