Heads up for a bit of copper

[Peter 615]

Over the last few days Rendel has put on Andy's website (Onlinecoins) a few nice pieces of copper.

Two really interested me but didn't quite tick all the boxes.

A 1714 Anne 1/d in GF £375 & A 1860 mule for £195 (described as GF+ looks more like NF)

I would of thought the Anne would do OK on Ebay.

I just cracked and bought the Anne

Alas, I find Rendel's prices are a little warm for me. In fact the only one on Online Coins who has reasonable prices (IMO) is Megan. Maybe it's a woman thing ...

I too find Rendel's prices (and grades) a little beyond my expectation. However, don't let your fantasies about Megan go too far. (S)he's actually David Mason, who used to be World Coins in Canterbury, but who took himself off to Spain a few years ago. I think he called himself Megan after his daughter.

If she's his daughter then she might be a tall leggy blonde. However, David is ginger haired, so maybe strawberry blonde is nearer the mark Keep up the fantasy!!

And there was I thinking that I'd found an exception to the all-male world that is modern numismatics!

I've been looking through some of my Coin Monthly issues from the late 60s. There were plenty of women around in those days. Whatever happened to Joan E Allen, Carole Towler, Carla, Pauline Jordan, Helen Robinson, Eva Hardy, et al? Those were the days ...

I agree -

Too often there are no images and I have had to return mis-attributed coins.... I've learned to generally ask for images before ordering now...... This applies to several sellers...

PS: The first time that I was placed in contact with Laurie Bamford, I too expected a female on the other end, not realizing that is was short for Laurence.. We BOTH got a few chuckles over that....

There are still a lot of the old time dealers about....Peter Ireland....Jeffries etc.

Joan Allen was the leadiing light for detectetorists but she died in the 80's.

New dealers are rare until you go to the top end of the market.

If you need to make £400 a day there are easier ways.

Pictures of the Anne depending upon cheque clearance etc.....I'm not looking for patterns but I've convinced myself this was currency...just the rare varieties to chase down now as I've faithfully informed Mrs Peter that my farthing purchases in the future will be rare (albeit expensive)...I need 1771 a&c

1856 R/E 1915 rare variety(I actually have a copy of coin monthly which identified this type)....Those were the days of a decent publication.....Coin news is TAT.

Coin news is TAT.

I tend to agree

This is a topic that's been on here before. I get the impression that the number of collectors in the UK has increased substantially over the last few years, but still we haven't got a magazine that even comes close to giving us what we want, which is sad. Last time round if I remember rightly, we came to the conclusion that it would just be too much hassle to produce one from scratch.
