Yes they finally got this back on line. Still incomplete though so I'd keep my eyes on it. -
Do you remember which one of his papers?
-
Not sure about others but I just started with a blank spreadsheet and add a row for each coin I acquire. Not perfect (especially when trying to see where gaps are) but keeping track of what constitutes a complete set for some series is a challenge in itself.

Penny Acquisition of the week
Mr T replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Excellent, will do secret santa. I'll look into that Rob though hopefully being in Australia won't an issue. Thanks all. -
Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.

Might be worth getting a copy of Davies to identify some of the varieties. -
Minor GB Penny Queries 1899 narrow date 1880 higher 0 and 1889 Victoria's Nose
Mr T replied to The Bee's topic in Free for all
A little late to this (I had it noted to come back to) but well spotted - I am still amazed that after all this time, more varieties keep coming out of the wood-work. When obverse 2* was discovered a few years ago I was surprised and thought that surely had to be it. -

Is there a .pdf of the Bernard Workman Collection auction available by any chance? I found https://auctions.sovr.co.uk/index.php?option=com_timed_auction&auction_id=26 but wanted something more offline. -

Proof 1962 Half Crown Sold At Heritage - Very Rare!
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't follow proofs much but yeah I didn't think the Royal Mint struck many proofs in that era - maybe they were too busy getting ready for the move to Llantrisant. -
Not sure about the 2002 1/10oz - I feel like all these modern mules tend to get surprisingly little coverage - maybe because they're made for collector coins rather than circulating?
-
I thought the early ones were 80% silver but possibly the later ones were devalued to 50%. They should all be silver I believe.

Apparently some of the strike your own 2025 George Orwell two pound coins have been struck with planchets with the wrong edge inscription. The edge is inscribed with IN SERVITIO OMNIUM instead of THERE WAS TRUTH AND THERE WAS UNTRUTH. Seems like it was the result of one morning's worth on strike your own coins at the Royal Mint. Possibly 60 to 100 struck?

Getting somewhat off topic but too right - I was telling a family member recently that there are some coins that money can't get you - only patience can.
-
Yes it's interesting - I can see why predecimal collectors wouldn't be interested, and even decimal collectors might not warm to it as there never ended up being a 50c piece.

Ah, not sure why the links don't want to link - and editing tells me that I can't edit the links. edit: don't mind me - got them working one by one instead of all at once.
