    Chinese coin on ebay

    There was an interesting find in china the other day - all to do with the spade pieces from 700 BC or so. There has long been a arguement over if these were the first currency pieces in the world or not - my own opinion is they are very similar to the bronze axe heads from the iron age and bronze age - they probably more served as a store of wealth (As in their copper value) They are not true coins but can also serve as coins in a time of need , barter was probably a more common way to trade in those times . The ancient greek silver , gold or electrum coins are at least true coins , I tend to favour these as the first true coins

  12. Saw aforementioned gentleman with his two sons they looked around 11 and 12 years old at Pistyll Rhaeadr on a short break in north wales Probably hideing in north wales due to him not being as well known there after all he has a ten week holiday about now doesn't he. His well thought up phrase came to mind (Hands, face , minge)

    Protection of Uncleaned Coins after Cleaning

    Cleaning roman is a lot harder than you might think - remember 1800 years of gunk aint easy to get rid of without spoiling the coin , many metal detector coins are hopeless cases

    Proof Set Boxes

    If you had a time machine maybe you could have used this stuff
  20. this sounds much more customer friendly
  21. Would anyone agree? Payment should be after coin is slabbed and when you are happy - that would be best for both the coin owner and the service provider. It should only take one slabbing company to do this and they would just hoover up the customers
  22. A resturant could argue the same while serving a sustandard meal A builder could do shoddy work and charge you full wack A shop could leave you waiting for your goods for six months and not even say sorry A company could deliver to the wrong address and still charge you for it An insurance company could leave you waiting years on a household claim A slabbing company could do the decent thing and at least tell the client why they will not slab his coin- it costs them nothing and he already has paid the slabbing fee
  23. Not sure at all, the way most decent companies work is by charging you for work after they have done it to a certain standard that the buyer is happy with. If this happens in the slabbing world well and good , somehow I suspect it does not ......
  24. Who would tool a coin in that grade anyway ? Takes a lot of imagination..........
  25. I am surprised they don't charge £50 to invent something wrong with it , thats the way these companies work
