Coinery

Apart from the coins?

Mohammed would be appalled, and Buddha would never have got fat! Cider has changed! Oh, 'wo is me' how much poorer are the generations for the alcopop culture of Perry? ?

Drinking home-made cider and feeling disappointed on two fronts! Too much ginger, first of all! Ginger ffs, who puts ginger in cider? JHC, by God?

Could've put some decent coins on to inspire us, but otherwise OK!

I'd love it too if I could get £75 for it!

We do need new collectors! I wonder if a statistical analysis could be applied to value for every new hard-heart collector that arrives, and/or for every hard-heart collector that falls?

Yep, as a show of colours, you couldn't get better advice than had already been given! Welcome aboard and share any pictures or dates/denominations of interest! Then we can help in the next step! Fancy collecting for the future, it's a very interesting 'nerd' pastime?

Awesome forum, is it not? Good on you, Mark, and best of luck with your plans, Peter!

Chars!

Edward and London for the first. Coinery will no doubt appreciate a chance to hone his skills narrowing it down further!Second, Henry II or III (?) Moneyer ILGER ON LVN (London) so my guess is Henry III. Looks like a possible Class 6c (Spink 1355) to my untutored eyes but more likely Class 8, Spink 1357 ... Maybe Clive can confirm or deny? . Only just picked this up! Unfortunately I haven't enough literature to accurately cover the Edward III period but, in view of the ANGLIE legend, I'm going for a transitional penny! S1612, N1227If I was buying or selling this coin I would want to read more about it first, but Edward III penny definitely! Edit: hah! I don't know if anyone has the 2013 Spink, but I'd wager the obverse plate coin of s1612 is very likely from the same die? Spooky!

And that's a great example for the period too! I like it, though!

Goodness, that IS a shame! Idiot!

Hi Tony, these are very typical low-grade coins, which would be worth very little unless there were some rare varieties in there, which would be highly unlikely to be honest!

It's a great book, NV, and could only get better by an expansion! Just about everyone on here has a copy! It's definitely a good starting place for any debate on grade! Edit: the author is a member on here!

Yes, welcome, NV! And what happened to all the copper fans for JiB? A couple of years ago that would've been debated for weeks! ?

It's incredibly well done, I love it! One of the better ones I've seen! You going for it, Debbie?

Gosh, nothing to be sorry about! I was just wondering whether is was a bot or program that was spamming the site...if that's the correct terminology?Anyway, welcome aboard!

Is anyone better in the know about these things? I've just taken delivery of an item from Hong Kong (a ceramic Buddha), marked as a gift by the sender, and marked with a value of £150. I've had to pay £46.04 Import VAT and £13.50 Clearance Fee, a total of £59.54, nearly 40% of the value of the item! That can't be right, surely? Cost the guy £75 to send it, for goodness sake...going to nearly cost me that to take receipt of it!

Cheers TG! Tummy rubbed...NO! Copper..."Pull!"

Still charged you a grand, though, and you couldn't get it back by PayPal! AND it was pewter...taught you the old Skool way by hurting your pocket! Now write again... I will not buy a fake coin ever again! I will not buy a fake coin ever again! :) Viva la forum!

With bagerap, but totally understand where you are coming from! You've already done a good job in sharing him as a villain here! No point in waving the 'here I am' flag to someone who's probably quite pissed off about the whole thing! You must remember, he's probably already spent that money down the pub...now he's got to go short next week to pay it all back to his overdraft! Tee hee!

What, there would be many years of research discredited by either one of your findings being accredited? edit: maybe a little simplistic I grant you!

Whoever you are Kal, welcome aboard, this is the stuff we all love reading about! I can't believe you don't know Rob already, or pretty much the entire coin community, as your posts are hardly 'newbie' in quality! Don't mind Dave (just in case he joins in), he just loves coins! Joke, alright?

I must be repeating myself too often. No, I just knew it would ring your bell! I'll be ringing it too someday, when a new financial story unfolds before me! I do love the siege coinage!

I was waiting for that!
