I love all the G5 coins! I've still got my heart set on acquiring the entire reign (one day)! I've had around half of them at any one time...I'd certainly be happy with that one!

Indeed! Well done, TG!

Cheers, Clive!

Anything major outside of North and the BNJ?

You can copy the numbers and paste them directly into eBay's search box, Scott!

Oh, my goodness, and from a fine seller with prominent feedback too!

Chip off the old block, then! Edit: do you know that saying?

Is Mr Wren still around? Anyone with a contact if so?

Just reading Wren on the back of the boat...bliss! Anyway, aside from all that, I've just read the term in Wren that says for 11b that the 'C and E now have distinctly angular backs to them.' Nothing from PW, yet, what about you Mr Knipe? Edit: I'm particularly interested in the term 'distinctly,' as there appears to be quite a range from a clear round-back, through to the most angular/triangular of E's and C's!

Playing Peter at his own game!

Wow, what a revamp! 1368 in my 2013 copy is 25 65! That's because they split them out. The majority are 5b2 where the price hasn't moved. 5b1 is the rare one, but presumably this kept the 1368 designation as 5b1 comes before 5b2. Another case of it helps to know what you are looking for. anyone working with an old book and minimal knowledge would refrain from spending £100 on a 5b1 because the book only says VbIndeed, another lesson learned! That has to be pretty unusual in Spink I would think?Interesting series the Plantagenets, I'm quite enjoying them! Cheap and cheerful mostly! You're going to groan at this! I've now bought the five 1935 cigarette cards for the Plantagenet kings, and plan to make leading pages in an album for each of the reigns, using these cards in the top lefthand corners! I watched a chap in the Cirencester craft market painting illuminate pages with great skill, so I'm going to get him to make me an illuminate page for each reign, with the picture card incorporated! You can buy full page slips for these leather coin albums, so I will lead each monarch with a great piece of A4ish art, and an 80 year-old print. A little twee, but I can't wait!

1500p is closer. 25 fine, 65 VFNo change since 2013 then (for 1368 at least)!

Yes, rather a quirky N, or should I say xI? Very odd! Thanks for that!

Cheers, Rob! That must be a new addition to Spink, it's not in 2013! Don't s'pose they happen to say £1500 in fine for that new addition per chance?

S1368? Common!

What an unusual looking reverse N? I don't recall ever seeing such a busy X in REX before? I'm completely unfamiliar with this series, it might be normal?

This was my point, really, about the honesty of the punch often hiding in its root, poetically speaking!

Not an easy series at all!

I haven't got the literature for this one, but the 10 O'clock legend with ligated NR strikes me as being something less common?

Cool bananas, chKy, that's more like it, a nice bit of classical music! Brilliant!

What about pictures?

Though, just for zimgrind's clarification, you can however have lustre that's overtoned, which presents slightly more 'luminous' than the monotones of a tarnished alloy or base metal.

Sorry, and re-reading your post, what do you think of the E?
