Who wants what thread!

I had a thought - what this site needs is a Wish-Thread. You know, advertise what you're looking for and some other Forum member may have it (chances are slim with our regular members but you never know!).

Ok so I want Brilliant Uncirculated Farthings between 1902 to the end of mintage.

Let's see where this goes!

Good idea Olli, I ammended the title a bit to make it more obvious what it contains for people browsing.

I have a stunning 1951 Farthing, I'll call it ABU because it has a couple on tiny weeny pin prick dark spots on the rev. Obv is perfect.

It'll be in my next newsletter, unless you want it for £4.00. You's be hard pressed to find better.

Hmmm....

Possibly a Victorian JH groat, or some Victorian gold coins perhaps. A Godless florin would be nice also. Chris has recently answered part of my wish list! And then it comes to the unaffordable things! Una and the lion, a gothic crown etc!

[Emperor Oli 0]

Darn it, Chris! I already have one (to my recollection I bought it from you) but never mind - this shows useful a thread like this can be!

[Chris Perkins 228]

I have a stunning ABU 1925 Farthing with just a darker area near the edge, and I have a wonderful 1943. Do you have those?

William: I have 2 JH groats at the moment, however one has a small loop welded to it and the other has a die flaw on the back. Both are around Fine.

I need these sixpences...

1677, 1678/7, 1679, 1681, 1682, 1682/1, 1683, 1684, 1686, 1686/8 (yes 8!), 1687 concave shields, 1687/6 concave shields, 1687 convex shields, 1687 concave and convex shields, 1687/6 concave and convex shields, 1688, 1693 upside down 3 and 1694.

Then i'm done, for now...

I've got both of those too

[Chris Perkins 228]

Alright alright!

ABU 1926 and a nice UNC 1922? How about the 1953 proof?

I've just completed my collection from 1936 (All BU) at a fair cost so I shall assess my fiscal position shortly to see whether my cavernous vaults can afford such items

[Sylvester 15]

i like farthings, i once considered collecting them myself, but sadly i tend to only like the full lustre ones.

But i do have a nice run of BU Sixpences; 1936-1939, 1942-1950, 1953-1959, 1962, 1964-1970

One day i'll get round to completing that lot, not at the top of the agenda at the moment though.

I did try shillings but i got fed up of all the bloody English and Scottish varients.

Then i tried Brass threepences and got annoyed at all the rounded corner, sharp corner varities and how dealers don't list which is which.

[Chris Perkins 228]

Ok, remind me when I get back next week and I'll specify Round/Sharp on my Brass Threepence listings.

[Emperor Oli 0]

Talking of threepences.....

[Chris Perkins 228]

How many of those have you got?

[Emperor Oli 0]

A zillion. It's on Spinks a la moment for £35,000

[Sylvester 15]

How many of those have you got?

i prefer the Madge Kitchener variant...

[Chris Perkins 228]

Oh yes, thought I recognised it, that's the one with the fingerprint isn't it.

Correct and here's the page

How much are they?

Oh, i've just thought of two more coins to add to my wish list.....A Victorian third farthing and a Victorian quarter farthing!
