    Guy Fornquerne? Dear god is the blaggard French, the scoundrel…step forth and give account of yourself before I run you through with my bow of yew!

    Interestingly the name Richard also popped up when I was subscribing?

    I can barely believe it was that long ago I had to draw swords with an adversary! Wow, six years! I did fair take him in the joust and run him through with my sword! May the vanquished return so I might bid him well and wish him great merriment throughout this Christmas season! Compliments of the upcoming season to all!

    Is that the same The Coinery from this forum?

    Did it never cross your mind? Some people’s disposable annual income for numismatics exceeds my entire annual household income, gross! I marvel at it all…just wish I’d been a premiership footballer for a year!

    Thanks, Rob…beyond the call… I can’t imagine that amount of material will ever be amassed again, I hope it all stays together now you’ve put the legwork into acquiring it all!
  7. Coinery
    WOW!
  8. Coinery
    I guess the ink colour does suggest a connection with the variety? Many thanks, Rob, always appreciate your insights.

    Sorry to labour this, but at the top of the ticket where it says ‘77 B win,’ do you think the Roman numerals represent the £38 he paid? I haven’t seen enough of his tickets to know whether he’s done that before? All the other ones I have are much simpler, with much less detail.

    I’m guessing that all of Chris’ paperwork remains with his family, presumably having plenty of what we would call sensitive material connected with it, bank details, fees, charges, transfers, etc., quite likely too much for his family to go through and vet. Might even be easier to burn such stuff? I’d however love to read the background information and footnotes accompanying a couple of the numbers I currently have.
  11. Coinery
    No way?
  12. Coinery
    Thanks, Rob! Does anyone ever end up with all the paperwork from collections like these? All those pencil numbers must correlate with some probably extensive written records?
  13. Coinery
    Blimey, Rob, you actually have those bulletins? Truly phenomenal, and thank you so much for digging that out! So, are these references to ‘other’ coins, or connected to the actual coin itself?
  14. Coinery
    Question 2) Another Comber ticket from a different coin. What do you think the references within the red oval means? Do you think the coin came from these sources, or is he just highlighting other examples he knows for comparison?
  15. Coinery
    Another couple of questions: 1) Comber’s ticket behind…any idea what the reference indicates, as it might identify the other ticket, which is clearly linked by value? Is it Baldwin?

    Just finished reading this article, absolutely fascinating!
  17. Coinery
    Ahh, yes, quite possibly…many thanks for that

    Quick question: what does RCB refer to from the 40s? Also, a useful document, that I’m sure you’ve all seen before, so forgive me, I’m simply sharing it here to log it for myself https://www.britnumsoc.org/images/BIOGRAPHIES/6_Coin_Tikts/Coin-Tickets-Main-List-008.pdf

    Something I’ve only just discovered if you use an iPhone…when you select your image, in the bottom left of the screen you’ll see an options button. Click on that and you get to choose a size to attach it at, with it also highlighting the Kbs at each size! Nice touch Apple!
  20. Coinery
    Superb, thank you, excellent resource!

    I’m part of an Elizabeth I group on FB, looking at interesting historical facts, articles, items, etc., and someone shared today (obviously) that this is the day that Elizabeth became queen, at the death of Mary, using this picture. Does anyone know the origin, source, date of it? I haven’t got any further with the OP, and can’t seem to find it anywhere online!
  22. Coinery
    Yes, try closing all the pages entirely before trying again. The file limit is a pain in the arse!
  23. Coinery
    Thought this was good! “King’s Cross station, June 6th, at 4am - there’s something unusual going on?”
  24. Coinery
    Definitely rare in that grade! You’d have to walk a very long, long, mile to better it.

    So funny, I have just posted a near mirror comment in the gardening thread
