That's right. What have you got that's for sale and not on eBay? Quite a lot will be going, especially if it's not milled silver! Notably:Hammered Edward VI shilling (VF) Mary groat (F) Henry VIII groat (F+) Roman 89 BC (?) silver denarius depicting the rape of the Sabine women (nVF) Julius Caesar denarius depicting elephant (VF) (Spink 456) Copper & Bronze Bronzed proof 1799 farthing (EF+) Misc Victoria farthings Milled Silver George VI shillings (E & S) and half crowns (all dates, all EF-UNC) Miscellaneous Liz II Piedfort £2 and £5 (although I'll probably wait until the silver price recovers a bit, if ever!) I haven't got around to properly describing or photographing these yet, but if there's anything that particularly catches your (or anyone's) eye please PM me! Oh, you are just so taking advantage, Paulus...I'm embarrassed...I hope you've run this full-set list past Chris? I'm ashamed of you!

I'll dig the diary out and speak to Kev tomorrow! -
Why Am I Only Seeing Half The Forum?
Coinery replied to Rob's topic in Forum technical help and support
On my radar! Can't say whether it's viewable by non-members, however! If I swear a lot, you can blow me out and then I can tell you, if that helps? -
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I'm gone...oh, yeah, I'm gone! "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine...we all live..." Whoohooo!

Brandon who? My photography is a million miles to go, yet, Paulus! However, yes, unfortunately, you're shaving a minimum 25% off your coins' potential on account of your images (I've not looked at your most recent listings to be fair)! How desperate are you? Can I help FOC? You've got my email address if you can think of any other way to do this?

George V Pennies, H And Kn
Coinery replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd be extremely happy putting that 18H to bed and forgetting about it, saying 'job done' myself! I'd be very, VERY, impressed to see you ever upgrade it! -
I'd be surprised if anyone took offence, Paulus! I know the down-sizing situation only too well, the exciting bit it doing it all again with experience in your wallet! I hope life isn't laying too much stress upon you? I'll do my bit in wishing for happier days if it is! Take it easy out there, Stuart

Why Am I Only Seeing Half The Forum?
Coinery replied to Rob's topic in Forum technical help and support
Peck's been on the cider tonight, you haven't yourself travelled southwards these past days and returned home well supplied by any chance? I've had your forum view myself on occasions, but it's only ever been momentary, and something I've never understood or resolved, however, before it's returned to normal! -
I deny it hic and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise Told you it was cider!
-
Yeah, yeah! Peck's been on the cider too!

Take 4 Months To Pay
Coinery replied to Nicholas's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ah, OK, 25% down up front! That would be a reasonable (dare I say, profitable) risk for HA...even I'd back that, a forfeited 25% on fall-out of sale! Hardly a cuckoo manoeuvre! Why haven't the other biggies come out of the woodwork to join the marketing of the 21st century? -
I just passed! Definitely the cider, though!

George V Pennies, H And Kn
Coinery replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think you're right! Incidentally, this is a bugger of a coin to grade because, whilst there appears to be wear in the classic places, it looks to be, as much as it's photographically possible to decipher, an UNC coin, but you just have to say AU though? Where are you at with that one? Edit: if I was buying, I'd definitely pay the strong side of the space between AU & UNC -
Take 4 Months To Pay
Coinery replied to Nicholas's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's got to be win, win, for heritage! I bet the vendor doesn't get paid out if the sale falls through? Or maybe the 4-month payment is subject to t's & c's, namely that you have a healthy purchase history with them? You'll be good for 4 month's credit, AC! -
Heritage - Eric P Newman Collection
Coinery replied to Accumulator's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I just won $8 on the Powerball so I am moving in the right direction "To sleep, perchance to dream" That's a staggering, but I'm sure quite accurate, figure Rob. If Heritage can shift $100 million coins in a single week then it's interesting to speculate that the market would probably be able to absorb the whole collection (had it not already been sold) at today's prices too. There's no doubt the market is massive! I've just zipped through the BCW sixpences (a cheapish and popular Liz denomination) and calculated, forgetting the rare variety prices, that it would cost around £100,000 to gather up the 'known' varieties in VF! In reality, with the rare dates included, it would be closer to £250,000+ just for something as basic as the sixpences! -
Heritage - Eric P Newman Collection
Coinery replied to Accumulator's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I just won $8 on the Powerball so I am moving in the right direction "To sleep, perchance to dream" WooHoo! the coins are on jaggy guys!!! I'll have a 1967 BU penny then please, Jaggy! Your shout! -
Sums it up, I'd say!

Don't know what you're talking about, Paulus? If this is a thread to give Chris a headache, I've always thought 'coin acquisition of the week' & 'recent acquisitions' should be one and the same?

Auction Houses - Juice
Coinery replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Colin, you forgot the tax on taking a/the piss break, throughout the auction! As you've commented before about other coin related standards, you have to ask...is there the least glimmer of a professional standard twixt their ears? Imagine them taking charge of YOUR company? I somehow ended up working for such a company, once, so have seen it from the bottom up...wouldn't survive, on account of my own personal integrity, working from the top down...I'd sooner eat out of bins! I speak this standard with my wife and family often...it's my measure of what I view as satisfactory, whether I'd prefer to eat out of bins or not? You'd be surprised how low my threshold for this simple quality standard is! -
Do you mean the first of the 3, the 1889 Crown? If so, I think the grade is its biggest downfall. It also looks to be cleaned! You only put up the reverse, but I'm guessing the obverse would've been equally uninspiring. Its only saving grace for me was a reasonable reverse edge/rim, which is not a common quality on such a large, obviously well-circulated, coin!

Spanish Pillar 8 Reales Overdate
Coinery replied to azda's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
That had to be a typo on their part, surely? There's not a suggestion or even a glimpse of a 1! Is the 3/2 an unrecorded variety, then? -
A cheap sideline is a satisfying solution to both your problem of locating and/or affording hammered pieces, and my problem of not having enough money full-stop! A theme such as the one you've chosen is an attractive one, especially if you can accumulate a pretty collection cheaply! I like it TG! Could be a continuance of my small hammered copper farthing 'gathering', or maybe the milled farthing series in general, or possibly stick with year sets, maybe Edward pennies...oh I don't know? Blinking coins!

See what a thread on predecimal can do? Perhaps we should add a safety warning!I didn't mention the worst bit. I've even started to mimic Rob a bit. One coin is nickel, two bronze, two CuNI (though I thought one was aluminium!) and an aluminium/bronze. I've even considered getting a proof! Eeek! Oh, and the coins (still seller's pics) closer to life-size: Coins.jpg I think I did OK for 36 (10 of which was postage!) I've got the Paris PCGS phone number if you need it? If it was girls you wanted on yer coins, you should've just let us know, there's no shame in it? There's a couple of home-grown birds out there...1500's, 1700's, 1900's, or even a bit o decimal Liz if you like? I've already got TWO spare 2005 5p's if you want one? Pretty coins, really...why French, though?
