    Sadly, you make a very good point, Damian!

    I've been collecting the decimals!

    I'd say the best part of half a grade up myself!
  5. Coinery
    However, if they've moved the goalposts on grade, their values measured against the values of recent years is now pointless?
  6. Coinery
    Altered date, if I remember correctly?
  7. Coinery
    Totally agree! But I do think Spink could dig a little deeper on the more common issues in the hammered section at least!
  8. Coinery
    Here's a question for you? Why don't Spink's use images of the best available examples of type in their plates? They must surely have access to some pretty good imagery? I know some of the coins have only a couple of examples known but, excusing these, what about the rest?

    Very good point!

    A couple of bits and bobs for sale!

    Coinery replied to Coinery's topic in Items For Sale

    Nice 1930 HC pretty scarce in that gradeI've seen a lot worse, that's for certain! It's nice for having a lot of lustre still!

    OK, if only to get eBay throwing my .99p starts to the top of the pile because you've clicked on the link, I add this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/george-coins/m.html?item=331409764825&hash=item4d298fb1d9&pt=UK_Coins_BritishHammered_RL&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Maybe of interest, and likely to go cheap are a Brit error halfpenny (and a W&M unbarred Maria farthing...Scott et al.), a slabbed C2 '74 farthing, and a Lockett/Asherson provenanced James I Trefoil shilling.

    Take it easy out there, Peter! My best mate died when he was 45, it leaves a big hole, buddy!

    Might I also offer this as a good read? http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1955_BNJ_28_44.pdf

    Happy christmas

    Coinery replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    There are more on here that would appreciate that offer, it's very generous, and would be loved by the copper/freeman admirers! Anyway, regardless, happy Christmas to you too! That's extraordinarily kind!

    Can anyone shed any light on these?

    Coinery replied to Colin G.'s topic in Free for all

    Someone knows their stuff! Are they particularly valuable, then?

    Storage of Coins - Advice

    Coinery replied to Stockportjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    At the pub on the longest village green in England! A fabulous place, surrounded by tudor properties...so lucky to be a scamp within walking distance of this lovely location! Edit: disclaimer...none of my coins are stored at my registered address!
  20. Coinery
    Tch! I was writing before you, you just clicked first!
  21. Coinery
    There you go again, Dave, stop copying my posts!
  22. Coinery
    I would also have thought, in view of the prestige of owning coins from old catalogues, that, having important coins from a private collection featured in the Spink cat., would've mostly been a desirable thing! Notwithstanding the fact they probably have most of the images they require on file? Maybe they need an decent IT guy who can dig them out of the bowels of their hardrive?
  23. Coinery
    Yes, but Spink's have sold better coins than the 1578 3d I'm referring to! They don't need public contributions!Irony is it doesn't even have to be a 1578, it could be something rarer (mint mark) that they may sold as a single lot previously?
  24. Coinery
    People strike all the time! I wonder how easy it would be to shake the echelons of power by boycotting a Spink sale, declaring, stop taking the...? Give us a decent website, put some decent images in your expensive book, stop eating peeled grapes, you're falling behind!
  25. Coinery
    It's just about aesthetics, and the art of the whole thing! Just seems a really lazy thing to do? In a copy I'm looking at, a very common elizabeth 3d and halfpenny are clipped and damaged, an unnecessary inclusion into what is after all an expensive purchase?
