So, is it for sale?

Yea ive noticed that couple of hours ago.

And how about Queen Anne silver?

Hello, is there any book on gold coinage? Sovereigns and halves to be precise? Thanks

Same happened to me. Bought £1 piedfort as a present for my fiance. Two weeks - nothing. Contacted seller, opened case, no response, quick refund. Still no present and shes coming from abroad on monday...

Lovely. Thank you very much:)

PM me. Thanks

Yup....as I said...it's different strokes for different folks.....personally I love the all the buildings and the 24/7 aspect of it all....never far from the sea or the countryside if I want that ...every type of restaurant/club/pub/entertainment that you could want, close to several major airports for hols and weekend breaks..no real need for a car most of the time..of course there are down sides....mainly that no-one speaks English...but hey, I can live with that...

I was asked this question by my sister and i didnt know what to answer. I started with sovereigns 3.5 years ago. I knew nothing about coins back then (not that i know much now) so i though cheaper sovereign is better. Because its cheaper:) didnt know anything about different types/years/mints etc. So now ive got small collection of bullion sovereigns Then i got KE VII crown and changed my preference to silver coins. At that time i already had basic books. I started type collecting shillings. Gone back to KG III when i bought very EF+ QV half penny and fall in love with bronze coins. Ive collected a lot of rubbish in the mean time. from coins in my pocket to silver proofs to £5 coins etc. At this point i got an idea to get one coin from every reign since KH VII. http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/8314-just-an-idea/ It never materialized as i needed every penny to buy a property. Everytime i read about new members asking where to start i read all advices and i want to do the same:) Every coin i see on internet be it dealers website or ebay - i want it. I like gold/silver/bronze coins and i would like to own each and every one of them:) As coin collecting is small part of my life and totally opposite to my full time job i find it hard to actually hold and see many coins in real life. Maybe thats why i dont really know what i collect and want to collect everything. It looks like an alcoholic anonymous speech. I didnt plan it this long but got carried away and lost my point in the mean time Anyway, any comments welcome. PS just got a lovely KGV penny of ebay:)

1967 Antique coins... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1967-OLD-ANTIQUE-English-coins-halfpenny-50-coins-lot-free-post-/370991492721?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5660d0ee71

No she wasnt.

Indeed. In Britain it amounted to around half a day's wages for a building worker. I shared this fact with my fiance (not that she cares...) and she asked me what could one buy for a crown back in Edwardian times. Anyone knows?

From my recent trip to Poland.

And what do you think about this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-1876-Queen-Victoria-Young-Head-Full-Gold-Sovereign-Fast-Delivery-/261415526801?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item3cdd946191

Well, im not going to Bialystok, but i have a bank account in Poland and can make a quick transfer for you.

I will be in Poland for a day on monday. I might help you with your payment if you want. Thanks

Hi, just out of curiosity, has it been cleaned? Ive cleaned few GV half crowns to see how they cleaned coins look and they look very similar to this. Thanks

Thanks guys

I hope he read my post. I have rang CGS and emailed countless times. When I got through the 'Manager' said it will get sorted. I hold no hope. Please everyone pass it to others that this company don't give two hoots about coins just money.... I bet we cant swear on here...but they are a bunch of _______ <add what you need [in your mind] not reply....lol Lee No sorry if that's how it reads. The value as is now £110. My point was it should not make a difference to customer service whether the coin is worth X amount, but they have missed out on my future dealings as it could of totalled to the £1000's.If you want Bill to read your post it might be better to PM him you complete initial post as this will go to his email I noticed Bill was logged in to the Forum yesterday ...

Thats exactly my experience. Like all of you guys say : BUY BOOKS FIRST!!!

Hi, which error are you meaning? The unbarred A in Tutamen? The error edge listed in the catalogues on the 1818 Crown is on the LVIII edge and has the wording in the wrong order. D.A.R.E.T.L.as opposed to D.E.T.A.R.L. Rayner, Davies nor Coincraft mention an error on the edge of the 1818 LIX Are you the seller of the coin here? http://www.adverts.ie/coins-notes/investment-coin-extremely-rare-1818-tutamen-error-crown-sterling-silver-coin-in-near-mint-state/2671714 Yea looks like it.
