  1. English... German.... joint ancestors, same cultural origin. A pity and tragedy that these two people fought two disastrous wars against each other. Britain is very popular in current Germany. My girlfriend is very anglophile, you should have a look into our flat... Union Jack, Tower Bridge, Twinings Tea, shortbread, scones & clotted cream, Take That... Only the Queens bust has to stay within the coin album good reply! I might just draw the line at Take That, though!

    coin dealers

    Out the dealer Might we see the images that sold the coins in the first place, before we hang the dealer?
  3. And there's me thinking that the English were the German favourites? I say this with smiles, having step nephews and nieces, and attending 2 German weddings!
  4. The city of York is an amazing place for a visit!

    unknown coin

    Not my area, but the quality of it would suggest some fun kind of museum souvenir or similar?
  6. I suppose a poop deck could be a corrected flush deck? I don't know, I'm meek on the issue, knowing only the surface info. on it all! Just tossing ideas into the pot. On account of such variation, it doesn't seem inconceivable that a lot of the variations are based on repairs?
  7. That would be my first thought, that they probably had to 'dig' a fair old bit of metal from the ships each time they used them?

    In a roundabout way, so was I! Are you saying you've never seen nor met any Fockers in your life? There's plenty around!

    Unless they are meant to be dorniers and messersmitts, or something? Possibly meaning to represent the few against the many???? Who knows, it's rubbish, regardless! Apologies to our German friends for my German spelling! Edit: should have gone with ME109s

    Indeed! Not a Lancaster or spitfire to be seen! There's a passable hurricane, if you squint (a lot), but that's all!Edit: I guess they are spits on the ground, I was focussing on the in-flight 'aircraft'!
  11. I think you might be preaching to the converted? Edit: sorry, forgot the...?

    Sadly, you make a very good point, Damian!

    I've been collecting the decimals!
  14. I'd say the best part of half a grade up myself!
  15. However, if they've moved the goalposts on grade, their values measured against the values of recent years is now pointless?
  16. Altered date, if I remember correctly?
  17. Totally agree! But I do think Spink could dig a little deeper on the more common issues in the hammered section at least!
  18. 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?

    Recent aquisitions

    That's proper upgrading! Well done!

    one penny 1921 and 1967

    Very good point!

    A couple of bits and bobs 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!
  22. 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.
