Peck for Sale

[Chris Perkins 228]

I have a spare copy of Peck's 'English Copper, Tin and Bronze coins in the British Musuem 1558 - 1958'. It's the 2nd (and latest!) 1964 edition.

I thought I would offer it here for a few days before putting it on eBay.

Price £95 (+ £10 fully insured postage)

Not really much use to me now, although I would have bought it had I not got verdi gris. If have a nice medal (coronations, jubilees etc) book, I'll take that off your hands!

[Sylvester 15]

Your probably glad you didn't buy it now, cos if you had and then got the verdigris (one word) then you would have been miffed.

[Emperor Oli 0]

I was wondering if that was how you spelt it!

If I had bought it, I suppose that I could have sold it again cause they're quite sought after, aren't they?

[Sylvester 15]

yeah they are always sought after so you'd probably could have sold it...

[Chris Perkins 228]

The book would probably have got verdigris too, you know what old books and damp are like! Horse and carriage.

I've got an 18th century book that smells much the same, not pleasant... currently being aired.

I think the term you are looking for Chris is foxing... it tends to affect the plate/picture pages most. As my First Edition Silver Coins of England has...

im only 13, and yes i have seen the book briefly, but no i do not want it yet...i will probably get a copy when i have completed farthings from 1895 OH - 1956...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I don't need a copy just yet.........maybe when I expand my collection.

[Sylvester 15]

I don't need a copy... ever.

(Well unless i do decide to do an extremely advanced collection in tin anytime soon... but i'm thinking of something else).

[Half Penny Jon 0]

What are you thinking of Sylvester?

[Master Jmd 88]

It is probably ESC...but it may be a different collection of coinage for sylvester...

[Sylvester 15]

I was thinking of doing these collections i've got on the go now to the best of my ability, so get my sixpences and what not sorted, and once they are done, i think i'm gonna take a leaf out of the Wreath Crown guy's book.

But instead of collecting 1934 crowns, i'm thinking of just collecting Stephen pennies... see how many it is possible to get. (Although William I, II and Henry I coins are the rarest of the four Normans... i think Stephen ones will always be slightly more popular and i find them more interesting).

It's just an idea i've been having for a while but it'll probably change. There is also that Quarter Noble collection i've been thinking about... i've got one and i like them! I wouldn't mind another 20 or so....

But sixpences &c first... proper specialisation later.

[Master Jmd 88]

proper specialisation later. 

and there was us thinking that you could never specialise...

Well i'm not ready yet, so i've decided to try again after i've bought stuff from left right and centre... I'm semi-specialised at the moment, i stick to serieses but i have alot of them, it's a compromise.

why dont you try working on sixpences from 1970 downwards and hammered? why do you not like the modern milled stuff anyway?
